A10 Networks Certified Professional – System Administration v4 — Question 3

What is the purpose of a VRRP-A floating-IP address?

Answer options

• A. To serve as a tie-breaker when selecting a VRRP-A owner.
• B. To provide a single next hop IP address for uplink and downlink devices.
• C. To use as source IP address for VRRP-A hellos.
• D. To provide a single IP to manage all VRRP-A devices in the set.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the VRRP-A floating-IP address is designed to provide a single next hop IP for devices, ensuring consistency in routing. Option A is incorrect as the floating-IP does not function as a tie-breaker, while C is wrong because the floating-IP is not used as a source IP for hellos, and D is misleading since it does not manage all devices but rather serves as a shared address for routing purposes.
