Implementing Cisco IP Routing (CCNP ROUTE, legacy) — Question 26

In which scenario can asymmetric routing occur?

Answer options

• A. active/active firewall setup
• B. redundant routers running VRRP
• C. active/standby firewall setup
• D. single path in and out of the network

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Asymmetric routing can occur in an active/active firewall setup because multiple paths are utilized for traffic, which can lead to packets taking different routes in and out of the network. In contrast, the other options, such as redundant routers running VRRP or active/standby firewall setups, typically involve symmetric routing where the path remains consistent. A single path in and out of the network does not allow for asymmetric routing at all.
