Which two statements about VRRP are true? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is D. It can use an interface IP address as the virtual IP address. E. It sends advertisements to multicast address 224.0.0.18. VRRP supports using an interface's IP address as the virtual IP address and sends its advertisement messages to the multicast address 224.0.0.18.

Why each option

VRRP supports using an interface's IP address as the virtual IP address and sends its advertisement messages to the multicast address 224.0.0.18.

AAuthentication commands must be entered under the interface.

While authentication commands are typically configured within the interface context, they are often specific to the VRRP group, making this statement too generalized to be universally true.

BIt sends advertisements to multicast address 224.0.0.9.

The multicast address 224.0.0.9 is used by RIP version 2, not by VRRP for its advertisements.

CIt supports MD5 and IP sec authentication.

VRRP supports MD5 authentication but does not natively support IPsec authentication for its control plane messages.

DIt can use an interface IP address as the virtual IP address.Correct

VRRP allows the master router, known as the IP address owner, to use its physical interface's IP address as the virtual IP address, simplifying configuration and acting as the virtual router for that address.

EIt sends advertisements to multicast address 224.0.0.18.Correct

VRRP utilizes the multicast address 224.0.0.18 to send advertisement messages to other VRRP routers on the same local segment, facilitating the discovery and maintenance of virtual router state information.

FIt is a Cisco proprietary protocol.

VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) is an open-standard protocol defined by RFC 3768 and RFC 5798, not a Cisco proprietary protocol.
