Question 1 of 30
In a network design scenario, a company is implementing a redundant architecture to ensure high availability for its critical applications. The design includes two routers connected to two different ISPs, with a load balancer distributing traffic between them. If one router fails, the load balancer should automatically redirect traffic to the other router without any downtime. Which of the following configurations best supports this requirement while minimizing the risk of a single point of failure?
Implementing Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) for router redundancy and configuring the load balancer to use health checks for active monitoring of router status.
Using a single router with dual WAN interfaces connected to both ISPs and relying on static routing for failover.
Configuring Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) with a single load balancer that does not perform health checks on the routers.
Setting up a pair of routers in a failover cluster without any load balancing, allowing only one router to handle traffic at a time.
