Question
Which statement about VRRP is true?
Options
- AIt supports load balancing.
- BIt can be configured with HSRP on a switch or switch stack.
- CIt supports IPv4 and IPv6.
- DIt supports encrypted authentication.
Explanation
VRRP, a First-Hop Redundancy Protocol, can be configured alongside HSRP on the same network device to provide gateway redundancy.
Common mistakes.
- A. VRRP operates in an active/standby mode for a single virtual IP address, providing redundancy rather than active load balancing for that specific virtual IP.
- C. While VRRPv3 supports both IPv4 and IPv6, VRRPv2 only supports IPv4; therefore, stating that VRRP generally supports both without specifying the version is not entirely accurate for all VRRP implementations.
- D. VRRPv2 supports plain text and MD5 authentication, but not encrypted authentication; VRRPv3 relies on external mechanisms like IPsec for secure communication, rather than built-in encrypted authentication within the VRRP protocol header itself.
