Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 807

An engineer must configure HSRP for VLAN 1200 on SW1. The second switch is configured by using the last usable IP address in the network as the virtual IP. Which command set accomplishes this task?

Answer options

• A. SW1(config)# interface vlan 1200 SW1(config-if)# ip address 172.12.0.254 255.255.255.0 SW1(config-if)# standby version 2 SW1(config-if)# standby 1200 ip 172.12.0.2 SW1(conflg-it)# standby 1200 preempt
• B. SW1(config)# interface vlan 1200 SW1(config-if)# ip address 172.12.0.2 255.255.255.0 SW1(config-if)# standby version 2 SW1(config-if)# standby 1200 ip 172.12.0.254 SW1(conflg-it)# standby 1200 preempt
• C. SW1(config)# interface vlan 1200 SW1(config-if)# ip address 172.12.0.2 255.255.255.0 SW1(config-if)# standby 1200 ip 172.12.0.254 SW1(config-if)# standby 1200 timers 5 15 SW1(conflg-it)# standby 1200 preempt
• D. SW1(config)# interface vlan 1200 SW1(config-if)# ip address 172.12.0.1 255.255.255.0 SW1(config-if)# standby 1200 ip 172.12.0.254 SW1(config-if)# standby 1200 timers 5 15 SW1(conflg-it)# standby 1200 preempt

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, specifies the correct configuration for HSRP by assigning the IP address 172.12.0.2 to the interface and using 172.12.0.254 as the virtual IP. Options A, C, and D either assign the incorrect IP addresses to the interface or the virtual IP, which does not meet the requirement of using the last usable IP address in the network for HSRP configuration.
