Which statement about FHRPs (First Hop Redundancy Protocol) is true?
FHRPs allow multiple routers in a subnet, which collectively act as a single default gateway.
Hosts need to be configured correctly to receive the benefits of FHRPs.
FHRPs involve exchange of messages between routers and hosts.
Hosts are aware of the existence of multiple redundant routers.
FHRPs (First Hop Redundancy Protocol) allow multiple routers to be installed in a subnet, which collectively act as a single router. The routers create the illusion of a single default gateway to hosts on the subnet. Hosts are not aware of the fact that multiple routers are acting collectively to provide default gateway redundancy. The routers in an FHRP group exchange messages with each other to coordinate the functions each router has to perform. There is no message exchange between routers and hosts. The three examples of FHRPs are: HSRP (Hot Standby Routing Protocol), VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol), and GLBP (Gateway Load Balancing Protocol).
