JNCIE-SP: Juniper Networks Certified Expert – Service Provider (2021) — Question 17

What is a characteristic of VRRP?

Answer options

• A. VRRP routers must communicate over a direct connection.
• B. VRRP participating routers all act as active gateways.
• C. VRRP provides high availability for a host's default gateway.
• D. VRRP routes must communicate over a common switch.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because VRRP is designed to provide redundancy and high availability for a host's default gateway by allowing multiple routers to work together. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they misrepresent how VRRP operates, such as implying direct connections or that all routers become active simultaneously.
