Which two statements about HSRP are true? (Choose two.)
A.
Load sharing with HSRP is achieved by creating multiple subinterfaces on the HSRP routers.
B.
Load sharing with HSRP is achieved by creating HSRP groups on the HSRP routers.
C.
Routers configured for HSRP must belong only to one group per HSRP interface.
D.
Routers configured for HSRP can belong to multiple groups and multiple VLANs.
E.
All routers configured for HSRP load balancing must be configured with the same priority.
Explanation:
HSRP is a Cisco-proprietary protocol developed to allow several routers (or multilayer switches) to
appear as a single gateway address. RFC 2281 describes this protocol in more detail. Basically,
each of the routers that provides redundancy for a given gateway address is assigned to a
common HSRP group. One router is elected as the primary, or active, HSRP router, another is
elected as the standby HSRP router, and all the others remain in the listen HSRP state. The
routers exchange HSRP hello messages at regular intervals, so they can remain aware of each
other’s existence, as well as that of the active router.
An HSRP group can be assigned an arbitrary group number, from 0 to 255. If you configure HSRP
groups on several VLAN interfaces, it can be handy to make the group number the same as the
VLAN number. However, most Catalyst switches support only up to 16 unique HSRP group
numbers. If you have more than 16 VLANs, you will quickly run out of group numbers. An
alternative is to make the group number the same (that is, 1) for every VLAN interface. This is
perfectly valid because the HSRP groups are only locally significant on an interface. HSRP Group
1 on interface VLAN 10 is unique from HSRP Group 1 on interface VLAN 11.
