A network architect is explaining the differences between deploying two switches in an HP Intelligent Resiliency Framework (IRF) virtual switch and deploying two switches that implement standard Virtual Routing Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). Which statement correctly describes an advantage of IRF?
A. IRF failover occurs in 1 to 2 seconds, whereas VRPF failover occurs in about 5 seconds
B. Multiple IRF members can actively rout traffic for the same subnet and use the same IP address and routing control plane
C. The IRF virtual switch runs a separate routing process on each member, which enhances the redundancy and reliability of the overall solution
D. An IRF virtual switch presents the same MAC address in normal operation and in a failover situation, but a VRRP backup router that takes over as master presents a new MAC address
Answer:D
