CCIE Data Center (legacy) — Question 105

Which three statements best describe HSRP configuration on Cisco Nexus switches? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. In a vPC topology, the primary HSRP router will respond to ARP requests, but both HSRP routers will forward data traffic. No additional configuration is required.
• B. In a vPC topology, the primary HSRP router will respond to ARP requests, but both HSRP routers will forward data traffic if the peer-gateway feature is enabled.
• C. You can configure two overlapping HSRP groups to load share traffic from the connected hosts while providing the default router redundancy.
• D. You can use the show standby command to verify HSRP operation and configuration.
• E. If you remove the feature hsrp command, all relevant HSRP configuration information is also removed.

Correct answer: A, C, E

Explanation

Answer A is correct because, in a vPC topology, the primary HSRP router indeed responds to ARP requests while both routers forward traffic without further configuration. Answer C is valid as it describes the ability to use overlapping HSRP groups for load sharing and redundancy. Answer E is correct since removing the feature hsrp command does lead to the deletion of all related configurations. Answer B is incorrect because it suggests that both routers will only forward traffic if the peer-gateway feature is enabled, which is not the case in the described scenario. Answer D, while true about checking HSRP operation, does not directly describe the configuration aspects of HSRP itself.
