   A network administrator is configuring VRRP on two routers. The administrator wants to ensure that if the master router fails, the backup router takes over with minimal disruption to hosts. Which configuration is most important to achieve this?

   • ASet the VRRP priority of the backup router higher than the master router.
   • BUse a different virtual IP address on each router to avoid conflicts.
   • CConfigure the same virtual router ID (VRID) and virtual IP address on both routers.
   • DEnable preemption on the backup router only.

   A branch office has two routers connected to the same LAN segment, each with a physical interface IP address. The network administrator wants to provide a single default gateway for all hosts so that if one router fails, the other takes over without any client configuration changes. Which action should the administrator take?

   • AConfigure a loopback interface on each router and use it as the default gateway address for the hosts.
   • BAssign the same IP address to both physical router interfaces and connect them to the LAN using a hub.
   • CConfigure a first hop redundancy protocol such as HSRP so the two routers share a virtual IP address that hosts use as their default gateway.
   • DConfigure static routes on each host pointing to both router IP addresses and rely on the hosts to detect failure.

   A company is designing a redundant gateway solution for a data center. They have two routers, but they also want to use the standby router for other purposes, such as hosting a management network. They are concerned about the standby router being used for management traffic while still providing gateway redundancy. Which protocol feature would allow the standby router to be used for other traffic without affecting its redundancy role?

   • AConfiguring a static route on the standby router to forward management traffic.
   • BVRRP's ability to use the physical IP address of the master router as the virtual IP.
   • CHSRP's multiple group support, which allows the router to be active for one group and standby for another.
   • DGLBP's load-balancing algorithm, which distributes traffic across all routers.
