350-401 Exam - Question 513


Refer to the exhibit. An engineer configures HSRP and enters the show standby command. Which two facts about the network environment are derived from the output? (Choose two.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CD

The virtual IP address of the HSRP group is 10.1.1.1, as indicated clearly in the output. The hello timer and hold timer are set to custom values of 3 seconds and 10 seconds respectively, which differ from the default values of 3 seconds for hello and 10 seconds for hold, hence indicating they have been customized.

B. is ONLY valid if the "other" router has preemption enabled. How can anybody tell? D. wrong E. wrong Correct answers A. since the local router has preemption enabled with a minimum 5 sec. delay it becomes the active router. C. Obviously the virtual IP is 10.1.1.1

Correct answer is A and C. Just tested the config in GNS3.

Why would it become the active router if it's only priority of 100 and the current active router has priority 255? Isn't the higher priority number the winner? Unless I'm missing something.

Not b. You don’t know if other router will have preempt. Timers a default and vip is correct

Timers are default, therefore Answer D is defenitely wrong.

LungfulOptions: BC

I do not think A can be correct because the router would not be considered down until the 10 second hold time has elapsed and only then would the 5 second preempt start. A mentions time after a missed hello not after a down state. B+C are what I would pick.

A seems correct. Why? The Delay minimum quoted as 5 secs in the question means preempt delay. The preempt delay means that, when the interface gets up it will detect that there is already an hsrp neighbour active. Thus, that active router will continue forward traffic, and this router will wait for configured time until it takes over the role. If we don't wait, we will take over the active role immediate and that can be a problem if routing is not yet ready. Also, if the other router is not detected, this router will take the active role immediate, and do not wait the configured time, and starts forward traffic as soon as routing is ready. Source : https://community.cisco.com/t5/switching/hsrp-delay-minimum-amp-reload-question/td-p/3327186 C of course is right as seen from the output that the VIP is 10.1.1.1

HSRP uses two types of timers — hello and hold timers — to ensure redundancy among routers. The hello timer sends multicasts, or hello packets that broadcast status and priorities every three seconds. By default, if you don't tune in anything, the active and standby routers will say "hello" to each other once every three seconds. The hold timer tells the standby router when to take over. The standby router becomes active when it hasn't received a hello packet from the primary router in 10 seconds. So, worst case scenario, you've got 10 seconds before a standby router takes over and the timer settings can be lowered. A- Are wrong because Standby router only take over after 10 sec not 5 sec base on default hello timer and hold timer

Not A: hold timer is 10 seconds (not 5 sec)

the priority of the shown router is 100 but the priority of the router who is active is 255 so think

MorticiansOptions: BC
Feb 13, 2023

The priority field is used to elect the active router and the standby router for the specific group. In the case of an equal priority, the router with the highest IP address for the respective group is elected as active. Furthermore, if there are more than two routers in the group, the second highest IP address determines the standby router and the other router/routers are in the listen state. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/hot-standby-router-protocol-hsrp/9281-3.html#q4

HSRP does not have preemption enabled by default. You can't infer that the new device will have that configuration as there is no indication of it. The only other best answer is A based on the information provided.

HungarianDishOption: C
Apr 7, 2023

Only C) is valid right now. In order for B) to work, preemption needs to be enabled on the new device. We do not have that information about the new device. Preemption is not enabled by default in HSRP.

This is not a definite answer, yo are assuming the "new router" that is introduced has preemption enabled, for the purpose of this question we can't assume that.

[Removed]Options: AC

Not enough information to deduce that B will be true. Preemption is required and that's not indicated.

danman32Options: BE
Jul 30, 2023

B does seem to be the best 2nd answer but the "5 seconds later" is a problem because we don't know what the preempt settings are on the other routers. We can only assume all have preempt enabled with 5 second delay.

Confirmed in CML A is the answer. We do not have enough info for B to be accurate. I killed the linke from R1 to R2 and R2 took over even with priority of 100 over 255. Simply because preempt is enabled on R2 Its easy for everyone here to talk and link articles, but have you guys actually labbed this stuff to find out if it practically works? Too many book worms around here.

yes I did lab it and A is wrong. The Standby router takes over the role of Active router when the Hold Timer expires, which is 10 seconds
