CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 350

A systems administrator installs multiple web servers and intends to use the First Hop Redundancy Protocol to control routing to the servers. Which of the following types of IP addresses should the administrator use to support this routing approach?

Answer options

• A. Virtual
• B. Gateway
• C. Static
• D. Dynamic

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as Virtual IP addresses are specifically designed for use with redundancy protocols like First Hop Redundancy Protocol, allowing multiple servers to share a single IP address. Options B, C, and D do not provide the necessary redundancy and failover capabilities required for effective routing in this scenario.
