A network administrator is configuring Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) across two routers to provide first-hop redundancy for a local subnet. To ensure that end-user workstations seamlessly switch traffic to the standby router in the event of a primary router failure, which IP address should be configured as the default gateway on the workstations?
- The shared Virtual IP (VIP) address assigned to the VRRP redundancy groupCevap
- BThe physical IP address assigned to the primary router's LAN interface
- CThe physical IP address assigned to the secondary router's LAN interface
- DThe loopback interface IP address of the primary Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) root switch
Cevap
The shared Virtual IP (VIP) address assigned to the VRRP redundancy group should be configured as the default gateway on client workstations.
Configuring the shared Virtual IP (VIP) address as the default gateway ensures that host devices send outbound packets to the virtual router instance. When the primary router fails, the backup router automatically assumes control of the Virtual IP address, maintaining uninterrupted network communication for hosts.
