Exam 200-301 topic 1 question 433 discussion

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

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

for sure C

c is correct.

Backup is the term used for vrrp

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

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)

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

VRRP Router Status: VRID Priority State Address Master 1 200 Active 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.1 2 100 Backup 192.168.2.1 192.168.1.1

c answer is correct because standby comes in HSRP protocol.

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

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

C backup i over rule any debate on this question.

C correct

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

When the active router in a VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) group fails, the standby router assumes the role and forwards packets. The standby router is the backup router in the VRRP group, ready to take over the responsibilities of the active router in case of a failure. It constantly monitors the status of the active router and listens for the advertisement messages sent by the active router. If the standby router detects that the active router has failed or become unreachable, it assumes the active role and starts forwarding packets on behalf of the virtual router. So, the correct answer is: B. standby
