As shown in the figure, VRRP is associated with a BFD session.
When a backup device detects a fault through BFD, the backup device immediately assumes the master role after the Master_Down_Timer timer expires.

Answer(s): B
Explanation:
VRRP and BFD Association:
VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) is used to provide gateway redundancy by electing a master and backup router.
Associating VRRP with BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) allows faster detection of faults on the master device or the link between the master and the backup.

Master_Down_Timer Behavior:
Normally, when a VRRP backup device detects that the master is down (through missed VRRP advertisements), the Master_Down_Timer dictates the failover timing.
However, when VRRP is associated with BFD:
BFD detects faults immediately (sub-second detection).
The backup device does not wait for the Master_Down_Timer to expire. Instead, it immediately assumes the master role upon fault detection by BFD.
HCIP-Datacom-Core Technology Training Material (VRRP Failover Mechanism).
Why the Statement is FALSE:
The statement claims that the backup device assumes the master role after the Master_Down_Timer expires when a fault is detected by BFD.
This is incorrect because BFD bypasses the need for the Master_Down_Timer to expire. The backup device transitions to the master role immediately upon BFD detecting a fault.
Conclusion:
The correct behavior of VRRP when associated with BFD is immediate role assumption by the backup device upon fault detection, bypassing the Master_Down_Timer.
Therefore, the statement is FALSE.
