dhcp default-router vs hsrp

Hi guys,

In IE lab 13, task 12.3, the requirement was to provide redundancy for dhcp
clients on a given lan segment -

"The default gateway for these hosts should be R6. If R6 is down, R3 should
be the default gateway."

My immediate thought was to use the dhcp command, default-router <R6's addr>
<R3's addr>.

But, the SG shows HSRP being configured instead.

My question is in the real lab, if there's a similar requirement, would either
approach be acceptable?

I acknowledge that using hsrp is probably better for a couple of reasons -
faster switchover, works with all hosts - but

if I used the default-router command, is that wrong?

TIA, Tim
