Question

A network engineer configures VRRP on two routers sharing virtual IP 10.1.1.1 for gateway redundancy. R1 is set with priority 110 and R2 uses the default priority. During normal operation, hosts on the LAN are using 10.1.1.1 as their default gateway. Which statement correctly describes the resulting VRRP behavior?

Accepted Answer

R1 becomes the master and forwards traffic for the virtual IP; R2 becomes backup and takes over only if R1 fails.

Answer

Both routers actively forward traffic for the virtual IP simultaneously to load-balance host sessions.

Answer

R2 becomes the master because the default priority of 100 is preferred over a manually set value.

Answer

Neither router forwards traffic until an administrator manually designates a master with the 'vrrp master' command.
