Static Routing: Concepts and Configuration

What is the default administrative distance of a static route?

In which configuration mode is the `ip route` command entered?

A static route specifies a next-hop IP address. What is the second routing table lookup, needed to find the interface for that next hop, called?

Which prefix represents an IPv4 default route?

A floating static route is created by configuring it with:

The primary default route is learned from OSPF (AD 110). Which AD would make a static route a valid floating backup?

In `show ip route` output, what does the code S* indicate?

What happens to packets routed to the Null0 interface?

A fully specified static route includes which combination?

Which structure does Cisco Express Forwarding build from the routing table?

For end-to-end connectivity, static routes must exist in both directions.

Static routing generates periodic updates and maintains neighbour relationships.

If a static route's next hop becomes unreachable, the route is removed from the routing table immediately.

The exit interface method avoids a recursive lookup on point-to-point links.

The permanent keyword can cause traffic to be black-holed.

Static routing is more secure than dynamic routing partly because routes are not advertised over the network.

A static route has a metric by default, which is used to choose between static routes.

IPv6 static routes use CIDR notation exclusively, with no dotted-decimal mask.

A summary static route may safely cover address space that does not exist at the branch site.

Static routing adapts automatically to a link failure.

Match each route source with its code and administrative distance.

Match each static route configuration method with its description.

Match each special static route with its purpose.

Match each static routing advantage or disadvantage with its statement.

Match each troubleshooting symptom or tool with what it tells you.
