Which virtualization technology allows for HSRP protocol to be used in the active/active configuration where both HSRP Layer 3 devices can forward network traffic?

The correct answer is C. vPC. vPC (Virtual Port Channel) is the correct answer. vPC is a Cisco data center technology that allows two physical switches to appear as a single logical switch to connected devices.

Explanation

vPC (Virtual Port Channel) is the correct answer. vPC is a Cisco data center technology that allows two physical switches to appear as a single logical switch to connected devices. With vPC, both peer switches can actively forward traffic simultaneously. This enables HSRP to operate in an active/active fashion because both Layer 3 switches are genuinely forwarding packets-not just one active and one standby as in traditional HSRP. OTV (A) extends Layer 2 over IP WANs. VSS (B) merges two switches into one logical device but is a campus technology. VDC (D) partitions a single physical switch into multiple virtual devices.
