Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks (CCNP SWITCH, legacy) — Question 101

What are three possible router states of HSRP routers on a LAN? (Choose three)

Answer options

• A. Standby
• B. Established
• C. Active
• D. Idle
• E. Backup
• F. Init

Correct answer: A, C, F

Explanation

The three valid states for HSRP routers are Standby, Active, and Init. Standby routers are ready to take over if the Active router fails, while the Active router is the one currently forwarding traffic. Init is a state indicating that the router is initializing, whereas Established, Idle, and Backup are not recognized states in HSRP.
