Module Quiz – IP Static Routing

A network administrator configures a router by the command ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 209.165.200.226. What is the purpose of this command?

to provide a route to forward packets for which there is no route in the routing table

Which type of static route that is configured on a router uses only the exit interface?

directly connected static route

A network administrator uses the command ip route 172.18.0.0 255.255.0.0 S0/0/1 to configure a floating static route on a router. That route will function as a backup route to reach the EIGRP learned network 172.18.0.0/16. After this configuration, the EIGRP route is removed from the routing table even though EIGRP is still functioning properly. Why is the static route not functioning as intended?

The administrative distance value is not high enough on the static route.

What type of static route is created when the next-hop IP address and exit interface are specified?

fully specified static route

What is the correct syntax of a floating static route?

ip route 209.165.200.228 255.255.255.248 10.0.0.1 120

Which static route statement shows a recursive IPv6 static route?

ipv6 route 2001:db8:cafe:1::/56 2001:db8:1000:10::1

A network administrator is configuring a route to forward packets to a specific web server. What type of route should be configured by the administrator?

a host route

Which command would create a valid IPv6 default route?

ipv6 route ::/o 2001:db8:acad:2::a

What is a characteristic of a default static route? ​

It identifies the gateway IP address to which the router sends all IP packets for which it does not have a learned or static route.

What is the purpose of a floating static route?

It allows an alternate connection to be used when the preferred link fails.

Which IPv6 static route would serve as a backup route to a dynamic route learned through OSPF?

Router1 (config)# ipv6 route 2001:db8:acad:1::/32 2001:db8:acad:6::2 200

What command, or set of commands, would be used to determine if the following configuration on router HQ works as designed?

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial 0/0/0 10
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial 0/1/0

HQ(config)# interface serial 0/1/0
HQ(config-if)# shutdown
HQ(config-if)# end
HQ# show ip route

Which type of static route typically uses the distance parameter in the ip route global configuration command?

floating static route

Why would a floating static route be configured with an administrative distance that is higher than the administrative distance of a dynamic routing protocol that is running on the same router?

to be used as a backup route

What network address and subnet mask combination would be used to create a default static route that matches any IPv4 destination?

0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

Assume the administrator has entered the ip route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.2 5 command. How would an administrator test this configuration?

Manually shut down the router interface used as a primary route.

What route has the highest administrative distance?

A route received through the OSPF routing protocol

Which route would be used to forward a packet with a source IP address of 10.10.10.1 and a destination IP address of 172.16.1.1?

S 172.16.0.0/16 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet 0/0

Which static route is a fully specified static route?

p route 10.1.1.0 255.255.0.0 G0/0/1 172.16.2.2

Which type of route could be configured to be a backup route for a dynamic routing protocol?

Floating static route

On which router would a default static route be configured?

A stub router connecting to a service provider.

What network prefix and prefix-length combination is used to create a default static route that will match any IPv6 destination?

ipv6 route ::/0 2001:db8:acad:2::2

How would you test a floating static route?

Manually shut down the router interface used as a primary route.
