Both routers will be in the listen state.

The first router to boot up will be the active router.

Both routers will be in the standby state.

Both routers will be in the active state.

Answer 1

In an HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol) configuration, if there is no priority configured on the routers, the following statement is correct:

The first router to boot up will be the active router.

Here’s a brief explanation of the other options:

• Both routers will be in the listen state. - This is incorrect because one router will become active and one will be in standby, assuming they are configured correctly for HSRP.

• Both routers will be in the standby state. - This is incorrect because one router will assume the active role.

• Both routers will be in the active state. - This is incorrect because only one router can be active at a time in an HSRP group.

So, the correct conclusion is that the first router to boot up becomes the active router, and the other will be in standby.
