Topic #: 2
[All NIOS-DDI-Expert Questions]

If the VRID of a HA pair is configured as 25. Which MAC address is most likely used for the virtual IP address?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth

VRRP defines the virtual MAC for the VIP:

Format: 00:00:5E:00:01:XX, where XX is the VRID (1-255) in hex.

VRID 25: Decimal 25 = Hex 19. Thus, MAC is 00:00:5E:00:01:19.

Options:

A: 25 is decimal, not hex---incorrect conversion. Incorrect.

B: Correctly uses hex 19 for VRID 25. Correct.

C: Random, non-VRRP format. Incorrect.

D: Multicast format, not VRRP. Incorrect.

Practical Example: In an INE lab, you'd configure VRID 25, capture VRRP packets, and verify 00:00:5E:00:01:19, troubleshooting HA.

D) 01-00-5E-7F-FF-25 - wait, is that the MAC address for the Dark Side of the Force?

A) 00-00-5E-25-01-00 is the way to go. Anything else would just be guessing.

C) 19-80-C2-00-00-03 is just a random MAC address, it doesn't seem related to the VRID at all.

B) 00-00-5E-00-01-19 seems a bit off. The VRID is 25, so the last two octets should reflect that.

D) 01-00-5E-7F-FF-25 looks like a good option. It has the 01-00-5E prefix for multicast MAC addresses.

A) 00-00-5E-25-01-00 is the correct answer. This is the standard MAC address format for a VRRP virtual IP address.

I think the answer might be D because it seems to follow the multicast MAC address pattern, but I need to double-check that.

I feel like option A could be correct since it has the right structure for a VRID, but I’m not 100% confident.

I remember practicing a similar question where the MAC address was derived from the VRID, but I can't recall the exact format.

I think the MAC address for the virtual IP might be related to the VRID, but I'm not completely sure how that works.

A seems like the logical choice given the VRID of 25. I'm pretty confident that's the correct answer.

I'm a bit confused on how the VRID maps to the MAC address. I'll need to think this through carefully.

Okay, I think I've got this. The virtual MAC address is based on the VRID, so A has to be the right answer.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I'll need to review the VRRP MAC address format again.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'd go with option A since the VRID is 25.
