There is no native active/active setup in VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol). VRRP is designed for high availability and redundancy, and it uses an active/standby model, where:
One router acts as the Master: It handles traffic and owns the virtual IP address.
The other routers act as Backups: They take over if the Master router fails.
However, you can achieve functionality similar to active/active setups by implementing advanced configurations, such as:
Load Balancing with Multiple VRRP Groups: By assigning different VRRP groups to different subnets or VLANs, you can distribute the traffic between multiple routers, effectively creating an active/active-like scenario.
Using VRRP in Combination with ECMP (Equal-Cost Multi-Path): This allows both routers to forward traffic, although it isn't true active/active redundancy within the context of VRRP.
A is correct
No load balancing as active/active under the SAME vrrp GROUP. Only with different vrrp groups someone can accomplish the active/active setup
The exhibit shows the "show vrrp summary" output from two routers, with both routers listing the state of their VRRP group as master. VRRP allows for multiple routers to share a virtual IP address and a virtual MAC address, but usually, only one router is the master at any given time while others are in backup state. However, in some configurations, VRRP can operate in an active/active mode where multiple routers handle traffic simultaneously for load sharing. Since both routers show the state as master and there is no evidence of misconfiguration in the virtual IP addresses or priority, it indicates that VRRP is likely functioning in an active/active setup.

No Virtual IP addresses should be same, local addresses should be different
