Floating Static Routes
38 questions
An engineer configures a static backup route on router R1 for remote destination subnet . The primary path to this subnet is learned dynamically via OSPFv2. During baseline verification, the engineer discovers that traffic destined for routes over the backup WAN circuit even though the primary OSPF link is active and in the FULL state. Which configuration issue on router R1 explains why the backup route is active in the routing table?
In an enterprise WAN edge topology, router HQ-GW receives a path to subnet via a redistributed routing process resulting in an EIGRP External route (default Administrative Distance of ). An administrator needs to configure a floating static backup route for destination subnet using next-hop IP over an auxiliary link.
What minimum Administrative Distance integer value must be appended to the Cisco IOS command so that the static route remains dormant until the primary EIGRP External route fails?
Fill in the blanks below
An enterprise router learns the primary route to network via internal BGP (iBGP), which carries a default Administrative Distance of . An administrator wants to configure a floating static backup route pointing to next-hop IP . Complete the Cisco IOS command below by entering the minimum administrative distance value required to ensure this route functions strictly as a backup path.
Fill in the blanks below
Complete the Cisco IOS command required to configure a floating static backup route.
Fill in the blanks below
What value should be entered to complete the Cisco IOS command below?
`ip route 172.20.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2`
A network administrator needs to configure a floating static backup route on a Cisco router to reach the destination subnet via the next-hop IP address . The primary path to this network is currently dynamically learned via OSPF. Which command correctly configures the floating static route so that it only enters the routing table when the OSPF route fails?
A network administrator is configuring a backup link on a Cisco router for destination network . The primary path to this network is currently learned via OSPF, which has a default Administrative Distance (AD) of . Which two statements correctly describe the requirements and operational behavior of the floating static route used for this backup path? (Select two.)

An edge router receives the primary route to remote destination network via external BGP (eBGP) from ISP-1 using default settings. The network administrator attempts to configure a floating static backup route toward ISP-2 using the command `ip route 10.10.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.168.1.2 15`. Which behavior will be observed on the router regarding this destination?
A network engineer is configuring a backup static route on a Cisco router for the destination network . The primary path to this network is currently learned dynamically via internal EIGRP, which uses a default Administrative Distance of . The engineer needs the static route to remain inactive in the routing table unless the EIGRP path fails. Which command correctly configures this floating static route?
Company router R1 currently reaches the remote subnetwork via internal EIGRP, which has a default Administrative Distance of 90. A network administrator wants to configure a backup floating static route to through the next-hop IP address 172.16.1.2. The floating route must remain inactive in the routing table until the primary EIGRP path becomes unavailable. Which Cisco IOS command correctly configures this floating static route?
A network administrator needs to configure a floating static route on router R1 to serve as a backup path for the network. The primary path to this destination is currently learned dynamically via OSPF, which uses a default Administrative Distance of . Which TWO statements correctly describe the requirements and operational behavior for this floating static route configuration?

An enterprise edge router receives its primary route to the destination network via OSPF, which uses a default Administrative Distance of . A network administrator must configure a floating static backup route targeting next-hop IP address that will remain inactive in the routing table unless the primary OSPF route becomes unavailable. Which Cisco IOS command accomplishes this objective?
A router receives routes to the destination network via internal EIGRP (Administrative Distance ). An engineer intends to create a floating static route as a backup path and executes the command `ip route 10.50.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.168.12.2 80`. Which outcome occurs as a direct result of this configuration?
A network engineer needs to configure a floating static route on Cisco router R1 for destination subnet via next-hop IP . The route must serve as a backup to an existing OSPF path, which has a default Administrative Distance of . The engineer decides to set the backup route's Administrative Distance to .
Complete the Cisco IOS global configuration command below by filling in the missing trailing Administrative Distance value.
Fill in the blanks below
An enterprise router receives a primary path for the prefix via OSPF. An engineer attempts to configure a floating static backup route using the command `ip route 192.168.50.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.2 105`. However, after entering the command, the routing table immediately replaces the OSPF path with the static route. What is the cause of this behavior?
A network administrator intends to deploy a floating static route on router R1 as a backup path for the internal network . The primary path to this destination is currently learned through internal EIGRP (default Administrative Distance of ). During initial testing, the administrator notices that traffic destined for is immediately taking the static backup path across interface GigabitEthernet0/2, even though the primary EIGRP neighbor relationship remains active and healthy. Which two issues could cause the static route to be preferred over the active EIGRP route? (Select TWO.)

A network engineer is configuring a floating static route on a Cisco router to serve as a backup path for destination network 172.20.10.0/24 via next-hop IP 10.1.1.2. The primary route to this network is currently learned via eBGP, which has a default administrative distance of 20. The engineer needs to assign an administrative distance of 25 to the backup route so that it only enters the routing table if the primary route fails. What value should complete the configuration command?
Fill in the blanks below
An administrator intends to deploy a floating static route on router R1 to serve as a backup path for internal network , which is primarily learned via Internal EIGRP (administrative distance 90). Following the configuration, traffic immediately shifts to the secondary link despite the primary link remaining fully operational.
Which configuration mistake caused the static route to preempt the primary EIGRP route in the routing table?
Router R1 learns the destination network dynamically via internal EIGRP, which has a default Administrative Distance (AD) of 90. A network administrator wants to configure a floating static route pointing to next-hop to serve as a backup path when the EIGRP route fails. Which two conditions or behaviors apply to this floating static route implementation? (Select two.)
