Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 916

A customer requests a design that includes GLBP as the FHRP. The network architect discovers that the members of the GLBP group have different throughput capabilities. Which GLBP load balancing method supports this environment?

Answer options

• A. round robin
• B. host dependent
• C. weighted
• D. least connection

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The weighted load balancing method allows different throughputs among GLBP group members by assigning weights based on their capabilities. This enables efficient traffic distribution according to the members' performance, which is not possible with round robin, host dependent, or least connection methods that do not account for individual throughput differences.
