Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH, legacy) — Question 46

Which description of how virtual MAC addresses are assigned to the members of a GLBP group is true?

Answer options

• A. Each device assigns its own address
• B. The AVG assigns the addresses
• C. The AVF assigns the addresses
• D. The device that has the highest IP address assigns the addresses B

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the Active Virtual Gateway (AVG) is responsible for assigning virtual MAC addresses to the group members in GLBP. Option A is incorrect because individual devices do not assign their own addresses; instead, they rely on the AVG. Options C and D are also incorrect, as the AVF does not assign addresses and the highest IP address does not play a role in MAC address assignment.
