   Which problem does a first hop redundancy protocol (FHRP) solve in a network where multiple routers connect to the same LAN segment?

   • AIt provides a single point of failure for the default gateway by forcing all hosts to use one router
   • BIt eliminates the need for a default gateway by allowing hosts to route directly to remote networks
   • CIt ensures that a single default gateway IP address remains available even if the router that owns it fails
   • DIt prevents routing loops between the routers on the LAN segment

   A network engineer is configuring HSRP on a pair of routers. The engineer wants to ensure that the router with the higher priority becomes active and that it does not cause a brief outage when it recovers from a failure. What should the engineer configure?

   • ADisable preemption and configure a delay timer on the standby router.
   • BDisable preemption and set a higher priority on the preferred router.
   • CEnable preemption and configure a delay timer on the preferred router.
   • DEnable preemption and set a lower priority on the preferred router.

   A network has two routers running HSRP. The active router's HSRP priority is 150, and the standby router's priority is 100. The active router experiences a power failure. After the standby router becomes active, the original active router reboots and comes back online. What will happen?

   • AThe virtual IP address will change to the original active router's IP address.
   • BThe original active router will immediately become active again because it has a higher priority.
   • CBoth routers will be active simultaneously because they have different priorities.
   • DThe standby router will remain active until it fails or preemption is enabled.

   A small company has a single router acting as the default gateway for all employees. The company wants to eliminate the risk of a total network outage if that router fails, but it has a limited budget and only two available routers. What is the most appropriate solution?

   • AConfigure the existing router with a secondary IP address and use that as the default gateway.
   • BDeploy a second router and configure HSRP so the two routers share a virtual IP address.
   • CEnable proxy ARP on the existing router and configure hosts with the IP address of a remote router.
   • DPurchase a third router and configure all three with the same IP address.

   A network uses GLBP to provide gateway redundancy. The administrator wants to verify that both routers are forwarding traffic for the virtual IP address. Which command output would confirm this?

   • Dshow glbp brief
