Question

Two distribution routers, R1 and R2, share a virtual gateway address for VLAN 10 using HSRP. R1 is configured with 'standby 10 priority 110' and R2 uses the default. Both interfaces are up and preemption is enabled on R1. Which router forwards traffic sent to the virtual IP, and why?

Accepted Answer

R1, because its higher priority of 110 makes it the active router

Answer

R2, because the default priority of 100 always wins the active role

Answer

Both routers load-balance traffic equally across the virtual IP

Answer

R2, because HSRP elects the router with the lowest IP address as active
