   An administrator configures HSRP on two routers. Router A is intended to be the active router, but after a reboot, Router B remains active even though Router A has a higher priority. What is the most likely reason for this behavior?

   • ARouter B has a higher virtual IP address.
   • BRouter A has a lower HSRP priority than Router B.
   • CPreemption is disabled on Router A.
   • DThe HSRP hello timer is set too low on Router A.

   What is the purpose of the hello timer in an FHRP such as HSRP or VRRP?

   • ATo define the maximum time that a router can remain in standby mode before it becomes active
   • BTo specify how long the active router waits before preempting a router with a higher priority
   • CTo determine how often the active router sends messages to the standby router to confirm it is still operational
   • DTo set the interval at which the virtual IP address is advertised to hosts on the LAN

   A network engineer is implementing HSRP on a LAN segment. The engineer wants to ensure that hosts can reach the virtual gateway without any ARP issues. What must be true about the virtual MAC address?

   • AIt must be the same as the physical MAC address of the active router.
   • BIt must be manually configured to match the virtual IP address.
   • CIt must be derived from the HSRP group number and be shared by all routers in the group.
   • DIt must be unique for each router in the group to avoid conflicts.

   A network engineer must choose between HSRP and GLBP for a campus network with a single VLAN. The requirement is to maximize bandwidth utilization by allowing both routers to forward traffic, while still providing automatic failover. Which protocol should be chosen and why?

   • AHSRP, because it supports multiple groups that can be assigned to different subnets.
   • BGLBP, because it can load-balance traffic across multiple routers using a single virtual IP address.
   • CHSRP, because it uses a virtual MAC address that allows both routers to forward.
   • DVRRP, because it is an open standard and supports load balancing.
