Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 254
A network administrator has designed a network with two multilayer switches on the distribution layer, which act as default gateways for the end hosts. Which two technologies allow every end host in a VLAN to use both gateways? (Choose two.)
Answer options
- A. VRRP
- B. GLBP
- C. VSS
- D. MHSRP
- E. HSRP
Correct answer: B, C
Explanation
The correct answers, GLBP and VSS, both support load balancing and redundancy among multiple gateways, allowing all end hosts in a VLAN to use both gateways effectively. VRRP, HSRP, and MHSRP provide redundancy but do not enable load balancing across multiple gateways, limiting end hosts to a single active gateway.
