What are some of the key differences between HSRPv1 and HSRPv2? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is B. HSRPv1 uses a group range of 0-255, while HSRPv2 uses a group range of 0-4095. C. HSRPv1 uses seconds based timers, while HSRPv2 uses milliseconds based timers.. HSRPv2 offers significant improvements over HSRPv1, including an expanded group range and support for millisecond-based timers, enabling more flexible and faster failover deployments.

Question

What are some of the key differences between HSRPv1 and HSRPv2? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AHSRPv1 uses the multicast address of 224.0.0.102 while HSRPv2 uses 225.0.0.2.
  • BHSRPv1 uses a group range of 0-255, while HSRPv2 uses a group range of 0-4095.
  • CHSRPv1 uses seconds based timers, while HSRPv2 uses milliseconds based timers.
  • DHSRPv1 provides support for IPv6, while HSRPv2 supports IPv4 only.

Why each option

HSRPv2 offers significant improvements over HSRPv1, including an expanded group range and support for millisecond-based timers, enabling more flexible and faster failover deployments.

AHSRPv1 uses the multicast address of 224.0.0.102 while HSRPv2 uses 225.0.0.2.

HSRPv1 uses the multicast address 224.0.0.102, and HSRPv2 uses 224.0.0.102 for IPv4 and FF02::66 for IPv6, not 225.0.0.2.

BHSRPv1 uses a group range of 0-255, while HSRPv2 uses a group range of 0-4095.Correct

HSRPv1 supports a group range of 0-255, which can be limiting, whereas HSRPv2 expands this range to 0-4095, providing more available groups for redundancy configurations. This larger range allows for more granular and scalable deployments of HSRP on network interfaces.

CHSRPv1 uses seconds based timers, while HSRPv2 uses milliseconds based timers.Correct

HSRPv1 uses second-based timers for hello and hold times, leading to slower convergence during a failover event. HSRPv2 introduces the capability for millisecond-based timers, allowing for much faster detection of master router failures and quicker failover to a standby device.

DHSRPv1 provides support for IPv6, while HSRPv2 supports IPv4 only.

HSRPv1 supports IPv4 only, while HSRPv2 extends support to both IPv4 and IPv6, contrary to the statement.
