Key Server Election in Cisco VPNs | Implementing Secure Solutions with Virtual Private Networks

C.

In a group of key servers, the primary key server is responsible for generating and distributing encryption keys to other members of the group. To determine which key server should be elected as the primary key server, a specific parameter known as the priority value is used.

The priority value is a numerical value assigned to each key server in the group, and it is used to determine the order in which key servers should be selected for specific roles. When a key server is elected as the primary key server, it is responsible for generating and distributing encryption keys to other members of the group.

To determine the primary key server from a group of key servers, the key servers compare their priority values. The key server with the highest priority value is elected as the primary key server. If two or more key servers have the same priority value, the tie is broken based on a pre-defined set of rules.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is C. The highest-priority value is initially used to elect the primary key server from a group of key servers.
