Question

The network engineering team at a large corporation operates a critical data center with stringent business requirements for network reliability and high availability. EIGRP is used as an interior routing protocol. The team is planning to implement a robust new redundancy strategy that minimizes downtime and maximizes network uptime. According to the requirements, business services can tolerate 3 seconds for failover performance. The solution must be based on RFC 2281. Which action must the team take as part of the implementation?

Options

  • AImplement HSRP to provide gateway redundancy and failover.
  • BImplement EIGRP with equal-cost multipath routing to provide load balancing.
  • CImplement VRRP to provide Layer 3 gateway redundancy.
  • DImplement GLBP to distribute traffic across multiple gateways to provide load sharing.

Explanation

RFC 2281 is the specification for the Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), so the redundancy solution required by the question must use HSRP. HSRP’s default hello/hold timers (hello = 3s, hold ≈ 10s) map directly to the 3-second failover tolerance in the requirement (you can tune timers and preemption behavior to meet the exact
