Question 433

When the active router in a VRRP group fails, which router assumes the role and forwards packets?

    Correct Answer: C

    In a Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) group, when the active router (also known as the master router) fails, the router designated as the backup router assumes the role of the active router and begins forwarding packets. This backup router has been configured to take over should the master router become unavailable, ensuring continued high availability and reliability of the network. Therefore, the correct term for the router that assumes the role when the active router fails is 'backup'.

Discussion
DaBest

HSRP usese Active/Standby VRRP usese Master/Backup these roles are for the routers in the virtual group

jaaks

On Vol. 2 p260 of the Official Certification Guide, Wendell says that VRRP uses an active/standby, NOT master/backup redundancy approach.

DUMPledore

VRRP uses Master/Backup

siredobu

which is wrong, DaBest's comment is correct

dicksonpwcOption: C

In a VRRP configuration, one router is elected as the virtual router master, with the other routers acting as backups in case the virtual router master fails

dorian81Option: C

The only answer is Cisco's, because that's their certification. There are several docs that talk about standby or backup. The most important thing is to see the real state in the router configuration. For this, the show command does perfectly the job. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5500/sw/command/reference/unicast/n5500-ucast-cr/n5k-vrrp_cmds_show.pdf https://community.cisco.com/t5/switching/vrrp-state-is-backup/td-p/2389647 (ps Peter Paluch is a CCIE employee of Cisco, I think if he uses the word backup for VVRP, then the state is backup)

sabsyedOption: C

c answer is correct because standby comes in HSRP protocol.

LeonardoMeCabrioOption: C

C correct

[Removed]Option: C

C is correct : " In a VRRP configuration, one router is elected as the virtual router master, with the other routers acting as backups, in case the virtual router master fails."

Cisco iOS says backup: R2(config-if)#vrrp 10 ip 10.22.0.3 R2(config-if)# *Mar 2 06:05:31.784: %VRRP-6-STATECHANGE: Fa0/0 Grp 10 state Init -> Backup R2(config-if)# *Mar 2 06:05:35.396: %VRRP-6-STATECHANGE: Fa0/0 Grp 10 state Backup -> Master

DominikRWeberOption: C

for sure C

bymrdasOption: C

c is correct.

tumajayOption: C

Backup is the term used for vrrp

lmmujsiOption: B

The problem comes from the similarity of terms used in PgAP and LLCP. According to Cisco terminology these are the terms you must use: 1. LACP: active/passive 2. PaGP: desiarable/auto 3. VRRP: active/standby 4. HSRP: active/standby

SeMo0o0oOption: C

C is correct HSRP usese Active/Standby VRRP usese Master/Backup

Official Cert Guide Vol 2 and page number 306 says: HSRP active/standby VRRP active/standby GLBP active/active host

Starlord2535

I checked the page number and I don’t see it. Vrrp is not even in the book.

Shanku97Option: C

In a Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) group, when the active router (also known as the master router) fails, the router with the highest priority among the backup routers will assume the active role and start forwarding packets. VRRP is a network protocol that provides high availability by allowing multiple routers to work together as a virtual router with a single IP address and MAC address. answer - backup
