CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 795

A company with multiple routers would like to implement an HA network gateway with the least amount of downtime possible. This solution should not require changes on the gateway setting of the network clients. Which of the following should a technician configure?

Answer options

• A. Automate a continuous backup and restore process of the system's state of the active gateway.
• B. Use a static assignment of the gateway IP address on the network clients.
• C. Configure DHCP relay and allow clients to receive a new IP setting.
• D. Configure a shared VIP and deploy VRRP on the routers.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because configuring a shared VIP with VRRP allows for failover between routers without requiring changes on client devices. Option A does not provide real-time failover, B limits flexibility and does not support HA, and C involves changing client settings, which is against the requirements.
