Question

A systems administrator installs multiple web servers and intends to use the First Hop Redundancy Protocol to control routing to the servers. Which of the following types of IP addresses should the administrator use to support this routing approach?

Options

  • AVirtual
  • BGateway
  • CStatic
  • DDynamic

Explanation

First Hop Redundancy Protocols (FHRPs) like HSRP, VRRP, or GLBP use a virtual IP address shared among a group of routers to provide high availability. Hosts on the network use this virtual IP as their default gateway, ensuring continuous access even if the primary router fails. Gateway is a role, not an address type. Static and Dynamic refer to how IPs are assigned, not their redundancy purpose.
