Which statement about HSRP operation is true?

  • HSRP supports only clear-text authentication.
  • The active router responds to requests for the virtual MAC and virtual IP address.
  • The AVF responds to default gateway ARP requests.
  • The HSRP virtual IP address must be the same as one of the router’s interface addresses on the LAN.

Explanation: Hosts send traffic to their default gateways, which is the virtual IP address and the virtual MAC address. The virtual IP address is assigned by the administrator, whereas the virtual MAC address is created automatically by HSRP. The virtual IPv4 and MAC addresses provide consistent default gateway addressing for the end devices. Only the HSRP active router responds to the virtual IP and virtual MAC address.
