Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks (CCNP SWITCH, legacy) — Question 55
HSRP has been configured between two Company devices. Which of the following describe reasons for deploying HSRP? (Choose three)
Answer options
- A. HSRP provides redundancy and fault tolerance
- B. HSRP allows one router to automatically assume the function of the second router if the second router fails
- C. HSRP allows one router to automatically assume the function of the second router if the second router starts
- D. HSRP provides redundancy and load balancing
Correct answer: A, B, D
Explanation
Answer A is correct because HSRP indeed provides redundancy and fault tolerance by allowing multiple routers to work together. Answer B is also correct as it describes how HSRP allows one router to take over if the other fails. Answer D is correct because HSRP can provide redundancy while also distributing the load, but answer C is incorrect as HSRP does not function in response to a router starting up.
