Which of the following descriptions about IP address owners in VRRP are correct? (Multiple choice)

Question

Options

• AUsers can manually specify the IP address owner by changing the priority.
• BThe IP address owner must be the Master, and must be the same as the IP address of the virtual router.
• CThe owner of the IP address must be the Master.
• DThe priority of the IP address owner must be 255.

• A
  24% (11)
• B
  76% (34)

Explanation

In VRRP, the IP address owner is defined as the router whose real physical interface IP address matches the virtual router's IP address. By protocol definition, this router is automatically assigned a fixed priority of 255 - the maximum possible value - which guarantees it always wins the Master election, making it mandatory that the IP address owner is the Master (B and C correct). Since priority 255 is protocol-enforced and non-configurable, option A is wrong: you cannot manually designate an IP address owner by adjusting priority; ownership is determined solely by whether the router's real IP matches the virtual IP, not by any manual setting.

Memory tip: Think of the rule as a locked triangle - "real IP = virtual IP → priority 255 → always Master." All three conditions are automatic and inseparable; you cannot manipulate any one of them independently.
