Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks (CCNP SWITCH, legacy) — Question 186

Which two statements about VRRP are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. It requires each device in the group to participate in the same dynamic routing protocol.
• B. Preemption is not supported.
• C. It can use a single virtual address to provide default gateway redundancy.
• D. It uses a shared VIP to support default gateway redundancy.
• E. It support clear-text authentication only.

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

The correct answers, C and E, highlight that VRRP can indeed utilize a single virtual address for redundancy and only supports clear-text authentication. Options A and B are incorrect as VRRP does not require the same dynamic routing protocol for all devices, and preemption is actually supported by VRRP if configured. Option D, while related, does not specifically mention the authentication type required.
