While configuring an IOS router for HSRP with a virtual IP of 10.1.1.1, an engineer sees this log message. Jan 1 12:12:12.111 : %HSRP-4-DIFFVIP1: GigabitEthernet0/0 Grp 1 active routers virtual IP address 10.1.1.1 is different to the locally configured address 10.1.1.25 Which configuration change must the engineer make?

Answer: B
Explanation
Gentlemen, i strongly agree with Goathammer and Amansoor. Here is my thinking to the topic. since we are configuring a NEW member of HSRP> I ASSUME !!!! that router 1 is the active and already in the network forwarding traffic. if i changed the remote ip address to my newly configured 10.1.1.25 then i run the danger of disrupting network forwarding even for a short time. to not cause any CHANGE to the state of the existing network i would opt to change the NEWLY Configured router 10.1.1.25 to the already running one of 10.1.1.1 long story short the message says that members of the group do not agree on the same virtual ip. so it is up to you to change the running router(s) to the new config risking a short downtime due to Role Selection OR to be on the safe side, just change the NEWLY added router to match the existing setup. i hope my explanations or the way i thought about the problem makes sense. thanks all
