Term
_____ enables hosts, which have no knowledge of routing options, to obtain the MAC address of a gateway router that can forward packets for them.
Definition
Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (Proxy ARP)
Term
Between VRRP and HSRP, _____ is Cisco proprietary.
Definition
HSRP
Term
Between VRRP and HSRP, _____ is an open standard.
Definition
VRRP
Term
What is the term for an abstract object managed by VRRP that acts as a default router for hosts on a shared LAN?
Definition
virtual router
Term
In VRRP, the active router is referred to as the _____.
Definition
master virtual router
Term
In VRRP, the master virtual router may have the same _____ as the virtual router group.
Definition
IP address
Term
In VRRP, how many routers can function as backup routers?
Definition
254 (255 max - 1 master router)
Term
VRRP provides redundancy for what two routing entities?
Definition
(1)the real IP address of a router or (2)a virtual IP address shared among the VRRP group members.
Term
If a real IP address is used in a VRRP group, the router with that address becomes _____.
Definition
the master router
Term
In VRRP, if a virtual IP address is used, the master is the router with _____.
Definition
the highest priority
Term
A VRRP group has one main _____ and one or more _____.
Definition
master router; backup routers
Term
A VRRP master router uses _____ to inform group members of its status.
Definition
VRRP messages
Term
(T/F) VRRP allows load sharing across more than one virtual router.
Definition
True
Term
Each HSRP standby group that you define includes what router roles?
Definition
1.Active router
2.Standby router
3.Virtual router
4.Any other routers that maybe attached to the subnet
Term
Name a major drawback to using HSRP regarding active/standby routers.
Definition
The problem with HSRP is that only one router is active and two or more routers just sit there in standby mode and won’t be used unless a failure occurs.
Term
An HSRP standby group will always have at least _____ routers participating in it.
Definition
two
Term
In an HSRP group, the active and standby routers communicate to each other using _____.
Definition
multicast Hello messages
Term
If an HSRP standby router stops receiving Hello packets from the active router, what happens?
Definition
It then takes over the active router role.
Term
A virtual router in an HSRP group has a virtual _____ and a virtual _____.
Definition
IP address; MAC address
Term
What part of the MAC address "0000.0c07.ac0a" identifies it as a well-known Cisco HSRP MAC address?
Definition
"07.ac"
Term
Why are HSRP timers important to HSRP function?
Definition
Because they ensure communication between the routers, and if something goes wrong, they allow the standby router to take over.
Term
Name the four types of HSRP timers.
Definition
Hello, hold, active, and standy
Term
Which HSRP timer has a default interval of 3 seconds and is a way for routers to communicate what state they're in?
Definition
Hello timer
Term
Which HSRP timer has a default of 10 seconds (roughly 3x the Hello timer) and specifies the interval the standby router uses to determine whether the active router is offline or out of communication?
Definition
Hold timer
Term
Which HSRP timer monitors the state of the active router and resets each time a router in the standby group receives a Hello packet from the active router?
Definition
Active timer
Term
Which HSRP timer is used to monitor the state of the standby router?
Definition
Standby timer
Term
Name the three main HSRP group roles.
Definition
virtual router, active router, and standby router
Term
Describe the "virtual router" HSRP group role.
Definition
The primary router with the highest configured priority will act as a virtual router with a pre-defined gateway IP address and a virtual MAC address.
Term
Describe the "active router" HSRP group role.
Definition
The active router is the physical router that receives data sent to the virtual router address and routes it onward to its various destinations.
Term
Describe the "standby router" HSRP group role.
Definition
The standby router is the backup to the active router. Its job is to monitor the status of the HSRP group and quickly take over packet-forwarding responsibilities if the active router fails or loses communication.
Term
Describe the "other routers" HSRP group role.
Definition
Other group routers monitor the Hello messages sent by the active and standby routers to ensure that an active and standby router exists for the HSRP group that they belong to.
Term
In HSRP version 1, what is the group IPv4 address and virtual MAC address?
Definition
224.0.0.2; 00:00:0c:07:ac:XX
Term
In HSRP version 2, what is the group IPv4 address and virtual MAC address?
Definition
224.0.0.102; 00:00:0c:9f:fX:XX
Term
In HSRP version 1, what is the group IPv6 address and virtual MAC address?
Definition
ff02::66; 00:05:73:a0:0X:XX
Term
What Cisco proprietary protocol allows for automatic selection and simultaneous use of multiple available gateways as well as permitting automatic failover between those gateways?
Definition
Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP)
Term
What are the two main router roles in GLBP?
Definition
active virtual gateway (AVG) and active virtual forwarder (AVF)
Term
GLBP group members communicate with each other using what IP address, and how often?
Definition
224.0.0.102, every 3 seconds
Term
GLBP elects one _____ for each group.
Definition
active virtual gateway (AVG)
Term
By default GLBP load balances in _____ fashion.
Definition
round-robin
Term
What is the function of the active virtual forwarder (AVF) in GLBP?
Definition
Each AVF assumes responsibility for forwarding packets sent to its virtual MAC address.
Term
A GLBP group can have up to _____ members.
Definition
four
Term
You can force a router to take over (or usurp) the current active AVG if it has a higher _____.
Definition
priority
Term
In GLBP, when you force one router to take over the role of AVG, that's called what?
Definition
preemption
Term
What is a VRRP group?
Definition
It's a group of physical routers, configured to forward traffic to a shared virtual gateway IP. If one router fails, one of the other routers can take over as group "master".
