Free Cisco 300-710 Actual Exam Questions - Question 6 Discussion

A imo. STP creates redundancy by preventing loops in the network, which is crucial in switches and can indirectly provide network redundancy. The other options like HSRP, GLBP, and VRRP focus more on gateway redundancy rather than switch-level redundancy. Since the question mentions a switched Firepower deployment, STP fits the bill for layer 2 network redundancy better than the rest.

B - HSRP is designed for Cisco gear, so it’s the natural fit here.

I’d say it’s D, VRRP, because it’s an open standard and works across different vendors, which might be better if Firepower is deployed in a mixed environment. It’s not just Cisco-only like HSRP.

B - HSRP is Cisco’s go-to for gateway redundancy, fits Firepower well.

Option D - VRRP is widely used for redundancy in such setups.
