HSRP Configuration on a Router

What command is used to configure the virtual IP for HSRP on a router?

a) standby IP b) hsrp IP c) virtual IP d) ip hsrp

Answer:

To configure HSRP on a router, you use the 'standby ip' command, thus the answer is 'a) standby IP'.

HSRP is a Cisco-proprietary redundancy protocol designed to allow for transparent failover at the router level. When configuring HSRP, you assign a virtual IP and MAC address to a group of routers for the purpose of redundancy. The 'standby ip' command specifies the IP address that will be used by this group to act as the gateway for hosts on the network.
