In a network, which type of protocol allows multiple routers to present a single virtual IP address to hosts, ensuring continued network access if one router fails?
First hop redundancy protocols provide redundancy for the default gateway by allowing multiple routers to share a virtual IP address. This ensures that if one router fails, another can take over seamlessly, maintaining network connectivity for hosts. Dynamic routing protocols share routing information between routers but do not present a single virtual IP to hosts. Spanning Tree Protocols prevent loops in switched networks, and DHCP assigns IP addresses to hosts.
