CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 241

Which of the following protocols allows automatic routing failover for an active-passive firewall pair?

Answer options

• A. EIGRP
• B. OSPF
• C. VRRP
• D. BGP

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol), which is specifically designed to allow for automatic failover between routers in an active-passive setup. EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP are routing protocols, but they do not provide the same failover capabilities for firewall pairs as VRRP does.
