If two routers connected to the same Ethernet are configured to run HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol) in the same group number, which router’s MAC address will be associated with the virtual IP address?

A.
It depends on which router is active.

B.
Neither – a virtual MAC address will be assigned based on the group number, unless the routers are configured to use their burned in addresses (BIA).

C.
The routers will negotiate and decide automatically which MAC address to use based on the routers’ IDs.

D.
Both routers’ MAC addresses will be associated with the virtual IP address.

E.
Neither – the hosts will broadcast all traffic which needs to travel off-segment.
