Question

In a resilient network topology, first-hop redundancy protocols (FHRP) overcome the limitations of which of the following? (Choose two.)

Options

AStatic default routes
BLink-state routing protocols
CVector-based routing protocols
DA computer with only one default gateway

Explanation

First-hop redundancy protocols (FHRP) overcome the limitations of a single point of failure introduced by static default routes and a computer having only one default gateway.

Common mistakes.

B. Link-state routing protocols like OSPF are used by routers to dynamically learn network topology and routes, but they do not provide first-hop redundancy for end-user devices.
C. Vector-based routing protocols like RIP or EIGRP are also dynamic routing protocols used by routers, not designed to solve the first-hop redundancy problem for client devices.

Concept tested. FHRP benefits and limitations overcome
