Question: 1 / 400

Which HSRP router type describes a state where one router is actively forwarding traffic while another is in standby?

Active/Backup

Active/Passive

In HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol), the state where one router is actively forwarding traffic while another one is in a standby role is correctly described by the term "Active/Passive."

In this configuration, the active router is responsible for forwarding packets and processing traffic for the virtual IP address, while the passive router is on standby, ready to take over if the active router fails. This ensures high availability and seamless failover in network environments, allowing traffic to continue flowing with minimal disruption.

The "Active/Passive" terminology specifically emphasizes that there are two distinct roles: one router is actively handling traffic, while the other is not forwarding packets but is prepared to take over the operation if needed. This state is essential for redundancy and reliability in a network setup.
