Which statement regarding VRRP is false?

The statement that hosts need to learn all physical routers on the network is indeed false. In a Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) setup, hosts do not need to be aware of every physical router in the network. Instead, they are designed to interact with a single virtual router, which represents a logical group of physical routers that provides redundancy.

In a typical VRRP configuration, a virtual router ID is assigned, and hosts send their traffic to this virtual router's IP address. The VRRP protocol seamlessly handles failover between the master and the backup routers without requiring the hosts to track or manage the multiple routers participating in the protocol. This abstraction enhances network reliability and simplifies network management, as the hosts only see and interact with one IP address while the actual forwarding of packets can shift between the physical routers based on the current master.

The other statements about VRRP are accurate. It is indeed designed for networks that can handle multicast and broadcast traffic, those configurations require the proper setup of a virtual router ID and IP address, and the virtual router typically consists of one master router that handles traffic and several backup routers ready to take over if the master fails.
