While configuring an IOS router for HSRP with a virtual IP of 10.1.1.1, an engineer sees this log message. Jan 1 12:12:12.111 : %HSRP-4-DIFFVIP1: GigabitEthernet0/0 Grp 1 active routers virtual IP add

Question

Options

• AChange the HSRP group configuration on the remote router to 1.
• BChange the HSRP group configuration on the local router to 1.
• CChange the HSRP virtual address on the remote router to 10.1.1.1
• DChange the HSRP virtual address on the local router to 10.1.1.1

• A
  6% (2)
• B
  15% (5)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  76% (26)

Explanation

Explanation

Option D is correct because the log message explicitly states that the locally configured address (10.1.1.1.25) differs from the active router's virtual IP (10.1.1.1), meaning the local router has the wrong virtual IP configured - it must be changed to 10.1.1.1 to match the rest of the HSRP group. Option A and B are incorrect because the HSRP group number is already consistent (both routers show "Grp 1"), so changing the group number on either router would not resolve the mismatch. Option C is incorrect because the remote (active) router is already using the correct virtual IP of 10.1.1.1, which is the intended address - changing it would break the working configuration.

Memory Tip: Focus on the key phrase "locally configured address" in the log message - Cisco log messages tell you exactly where the problem is. If the log says the local config is wrong, fix the local router. The active router is already correct since it's successfully advertising the intended VIP.
