DRAG DROP
Match the HSRP states on the left with the correct definition on the right.

Answer:

Explanation:
HSRP defines six states in which an HSRP-enabled router can exist:
Initial – This is the state from which the routers begin the HSRP process. This state indicates
that HSRP is not running. It is entered via a configuration change or when an interface first
comes up.
Learn – The router has not determined the virtual IP address, and has not yet seen an
authenticated hello message from the active router. In this state the router is still waiting to
hear from the active router.
Listen – The router knows the virtual IP address, but is neither the active router nor the
standby router. It listens for hello messages from those routers. Routers other than the
active and standby router remain in the listen state.
Speak – The router sends periodic hello messages and is actively participating in the
election of the active or standby router. A router cannot enter Speak state unless it has the
virtual IP address.
Standby – The router is a candidate to become the next active router and sends periodic
hello messages. Excluding transient conditions, there must be at most one router in the
group in Standby state.
Active – The router is currently forwarding packets that are sent to the group virtual MAC
address. The router sends periodic hello messages. Excluding transient conditions, there
must be at most one router in Active state in the HSRP group.
