Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN, legacy) — Question 5

Which first-hop redundancy protocol dynamically distributes client traffic between multiple routers?

Answer options

• A. HSRP
• B. VRRP
• C. GLBP
• D. IGRP C

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is C. GLBP (Gateway Load Balancing Protocol) is designed to distribute client traffic among multiple routers, thus providing load balancing. HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol) and VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) focus on redundancy but do not balance load across routers. IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) is not a redundancy protocol and is used for routing rather than traffic distribution.
