A museums and culture department needs first-hop redundancy for IPv6 clients that learn default routers from Router Advertisements. Which approach aligns with dual distribution switches?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
IPv6 hosts listen for Router Advertisements the way tourists follow museum sandwich boards. If a switch dies, you still want a stable default-router story—HSRP for IPv6 (or similar) keeps that first hop alive. Do not leave two uncoordinated RA sources and call it done.
Full Explanation
IPv6 first-hop behavior is tightly coupled to Neighbor Discovery Router Advertisements. Cisco HSRP for IPv6 (and related designs) coordinates virtual gateway addressing and RA sourcing so clients retain a consistent default router across distribution failures. Uncoordinated dual RAs, static dual link-locals on every host, or assuming IPv4-only HSRP covers IPv6 are incorrect patterns.
