    This document contains interview questions and answers about HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol). HSRP is used to provide default gateway redundancy with up to 16 groups and routers. The active router forwards data while the standby takes over if the active fails. HSRP uses UDP port 1985 and multicast addresses to send hello messages between routers in a group. Key settings include a default hello timer of 3 seconds and hold down timer of 10 seconds.

    A: 0000.0c07.acxx
    Q) What are the maximum number of routers can be present in a group?
    A: Maximum 16 routers can be present in a group.
    Q) HSRP uses TCP or UDP?
    A: HSRP uses UDP port number 1985
    Q) What is the Source IP & Destination IP address of HSRP Hello message?
    A: Source IP address = IP address of the Primary Interface

    Q) What is the difference between Active and Standby router in HSRP?
    A: Active Router: Router which is responsible to forward the data
    Standby Router: Router which is the backup to active router.

    version 2 uses multicast address for sending hello messages is 224.0.0.102
    3) HSRP version 1 and Version 2 are having different virtual mac addresses.

    4) HSRP version 2 allows support for IPV6 whereas HSRP version 1 does not support.
    Q) If active router LAN interface is up but line protocol is down, In this case whether standby
    router will become active router?
    A: Yes standby router will become as Active router if the interface is up but line protocol is down..

    A: Default Priority: 100
    Default Group number: 0
    Q) If you perform traceroute, which ip address you will see in the reply (Physical or virtual IP )?

    3) Listen
    4)Speak
    5)Standby
    6) Active

    What is the difference between HSRP & VRRP?

    Ans: HSRP and VRRP both are the virtual routing protocols that overcome the problem of single
    gateway failure. Both works with many similarities, such as redundancy and load balancing, but with
    significant difference as below.

    HSRP (Host Standby Router Protocol) is Cisco proprietary protocol whereas VRRP (Virtual Router
    Redundancy Protocol) is an open standards-based protocol.

    HSRP use default hello timer of 3 second with a hold timer of 10 seconds whereas VRRP use default
    hello timer of 1 second with a hold timer of 3 seconds.

    In HSRP, one router is active, one is standby and the rest are in listening state, if more than 3 routers
    are in the group. In VRRP the active router is called master router whereas all other routers in the
    group are in backup state.

    VRRP supports default pre-emption where as HSRP needs it to configured.

    In HSRP the highest interface address wins the election whereas in VRRP, if a router uses virtual IP as
    an interface IP, this router becomes the active or master, if the priorities are default.
