In the firewall dual-machine hot backup scenario, each firewall has a VGMP group. By default, the VGIMP group is in which of the following working states?

Question

Options

• AActive
• BInitialize
• CLoad Balance
• DStandby

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  8% (2)
• C
  73% (19)
• D
  15% (4)

Explanation

In Huawei's dual-machine hot backup architecture, each VGMP (VRRP Group Management Protocol) group defaults to Load Balance state because Huawei designed the system to maximize hardware utilization - both firewalls actively forward traffic for different service groups simultaneously, rather than leaving one device idle.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Active): Active is a valid VGMP state, but it describes one device winning mastership for a specific group - it is not the default mode for the overall VGMP group configuration.
• B (Initialize): Initialize is a transient, pre-negotiation state that occurs briefly during startup; the system moves through it quickly and does not stay there by default.
• D (Standby): Standby describes the backup role in an Active/Standby pair - if Load Balance were not the default, one device would sit idle, wasting capacity.

Memory tip: Remember "Load Balance = Leveraged by default" - Huawei defaults to the state that gets the most out of both devices. If the answer isn't obviously about a transient phase (Initialize) or a single-device role (Active/Standby), Load Balance is Huawei's preference for out-of-the-box efficiency.
