Question:
Which statement describes HSRP?
- It is used within a group of routers for selecting an active device and a standby device to provide gateway services to a LAN.
- It uses ICMP to allow IPv4 hosts to locate routers that provide IPv4 connectivity to remote IP networks.
- If the virtual router master fails, one router is elected as the virtual router master with the other routers acting as backups.
- It is an open standard protocol.
Explanation: It is VRRP that elects one router as the virtual router master, with the other routers acting as backups in case the virtual router master fails. HSRP is a Cisco-proprietary protocol. IRDP uses ICMP messages to allow IPv4 hosts to locate routers that provide IPv4 connectivity to other (nonlocal) IP networks. HSRP selects active and standby routers to provide gateway services to hosts on a LAN.
