Exam 200-105 topic 1 question 467 discussion

How does HSRP elect the active router? HSRP active/standby router election process uses priority value (0-255) that is manually configured on the router (255 is the highest). By default , the priority is 100 . If all the routers are set to default value then the router with highest IP address on the HSRP interface becomes the active router.

The answer is B (Router IP address). Explanation: HSRP priority can be used to determine the active router. The router with the highest HSRP priority will become the active router. By default, the HSRP priority is 100. If the priorities are equal, the router with the numerically highest IP address is elected as the active router.

The priority field is used to elect the active router and the standby router for the specific group. In the case of an equal priority, the router with the highest IP address for the respective group is elected as active. Furthermore, if there are more than two routers in the group, the second highest IP address determines the standby router and the other router/routers are in the listen state.

If we have a closer attention to the question itself and what it asks for? It makes few things a bit clear, it already says about HSRP default configuration which means everything is with its default values. By default, HSRP elects active routers based on priorities and an interface has the priority of 100. In case of a tie the active interface IP address (highest router's IP address) comes to rescue to elect the HSRP active router for us. Now To summarize everything here: Option B is the correct Option.

In the case of an equal priority, the router with the highest IP address for the respective group is elected as active. Furthermore, if there are more than two routers in the group, the second highest IP address determines the standby router and the other router/routers are in the listen state.

I think the key word here is 'default'. So that means every router will have the default priority and the active router therefore will be determined by the IP address (answer B).

Answer B

The answer is B. Link for explanation: https://quizlet.com/196822437/hsrp-flash-cards/

The answer is C.

A is correct - this is default configuration.

The correct answer is C. - HSRP priority can be used to determine the active router. The router with the highest HSRP priority will become the active router. By default, the HSRP priority is 100. If the priorities are equal, the router with the numerically highest IPv4 address is elected as the active router.
