Drag and Drop Question Drag and drop the device behaviors from the left onto the matching HSRP state on the right. Answer:

The correct answer is is forwarding packets; has heard from the neighbor device and is receiving hello packets; is waiting to hear from the neighbor device; is transmitting and receiving hello packets; is ready to forward packets if the device is currently forwarding packets fails. HSRP states have specific behaviors: Active state is forwarding packets (the primary router handling traffic), Standby state has heard from the neighbor and is receiving hello packets (ready to take over), Listen state is waiting to hear from the neighbor device (monitoring but n

Correct arrangement

  • is forwarding packets
  • has heard from the neighbor device and is receiving hello packets
  • is waiting to hear from the neighbor device
  • is transmitting and receiving hello packets
  • is ready to forward packets if the device is currently forwarding packets fails

Explanation

HSRP states have specific behaviors: Active state is forwarding packets (the primary router handling traffic), Standby state has heard from the neighbor and is receiving hello packets (ready to take over), Listen state is waiting to hear from the neighbor device (monitoring but not yet standby), and Speak state is transmitting and receiving hello packets (participating in the election process). The option 'is ready to forward packets if the device currently forwarding packets fails' describes the Standby role conceptually but is not the precise behavioral descriptor matched to a state in this arrangement - the Standby state is more accurately described by actively receiving hellos from the Active router.
