Fill in the missing parts of the table

Port State Description

Initial State is entered through a configuration change or when interface is first enabled.
Router has not received hello messages from active router nor determined the
Virtual IP address.
Router knows Virtual IP address. Router is neither the active nor standby router
Router sends periodic hello messages and actively participates in election of
active/standby router.
Router is candidate to become next active router

Router forwards packets sent to group virtual MAC Address

Fill in the missing parts of the table

Protocol Description FHRP Type

Used in a group of routers for selecting an active and standby device HSRP
Cisco-proprietary FHRP protocol which allows load sharing between a group of
redundant routers
Cisco-proprietary FHRP protocol allowing transparent failover of a first-hop IPv4
devices
One router is a router master and others acting as backups
A non-proprietary election protocol that allows server routers on a multi-access link
using the same virtual IPv4 address
