Explanation

VRRP HA is identified in the exhibit by the presence of Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol indicators - specifically a shared virtual IP (VIP) on the LAN side, with one Edge acting as VRRP Master and the other as VRRP Backup, providing transparent gateway failover to LAN hosts without requiring an exclusive back-to-back HA link.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A (Enhanced HA): Enhanced HA uses a dedicated HA link between two Edges plus integrates an inline third-party device, but failover is driven by proprietary Edge-to-Edge communication, not VRRP.
  • B (Fault Domain HA): This is not a recognized VMware SD-WAN HA deployment type - it's a fabricated distractor.
  • D (Standard HA): Standard HA also uses an active/standby Edge pair with a back-to-back HA link, but relies on internal Edge heartbeats for failover rather than the VRRP protocol.

Memory tip: If the exhibit shows a virtual IP shared between two devices with Master/Backup labels, lock in VRRP HA - the word "Virtual" in VRRP maps directly to the virtual IP that LAN clients use as their default gateway.
