Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID, legacy) — Question 20

Cisco FabricPath is implemented in a data center. You plan to implement anycast HSRP. What is an advantage of anycast HSRP as compared to HSRPv2?

Answer options

• A. Up to four HSRP gateways can forward traffic simultaneously.
• B. HSRP gateways use BFD for faster failure detection.
• C. An HSRP group can be secured by using MD5.
• D. Up to six HSRP gateways can forward traffic simultaneously.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because anycast HSRP provides an additional layer of security by allowing the use of MD5 authentication for HSRP groups. Options A and D are incorrect as they mention the number of gateways that can forward traffic, which is not a feature of anycast HSRP. Option B, while mentioning BFD, does not pertain specifically to the advantages of anycast HSRP over HSRPv2.
