CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 336

Which of the following technologies uses a VIP to provide gateway redundancy between two routers?

Answer options

• A. LACP
• B. PAT
• C. FHRP
• D. BGP

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, FHRP, which stands for First Hop Redundancy Protocol, and it is specifically designed to provide redundancy for default gateway services using a Virtual IP address (VIP). The other options, A (LACP, which is for link aggregation), B (PAT, which is used for port address translation), and D (BGP, which is a routing protocol), do not focus on gateway redundancy in this context.
