Chapter 6

1. D. With this design, but no FHRP, host A can send packets off-subnet as long as connectivity exists from host A to R1. Similarly, host B can send packets off-subnet as long as host B has connectivity to router R2. Both routers can attach to the same LAN subnet, and basically ignore each other in relation to their roles as default router, because they do not use an FHRP option. When either router fails, the hosts using that router as default router have no means by which to fail over.

2. C. The use of an FHRP in this design purposefully allows either router to fail and still support off-subnet traffic from all hosts in the subnet. Both routers can attach to the same LAN subnet per IPv4 addressing rules.

3. A. HSRP and VRRP use an ...
