IPv4 Static Routing

An enterprise edge router receives internal routing updates for the prefix $192.168.50.0/24$ via OSPFv2 (Administrative Distance 110) and iBGP (Administrative Distance 200). A network administrator intends to provision a floating static route via next-hop $10.0.12.2$ that remains inactive during normal operation, activates as a backup if the OSPF path fails, and takes precedence over the iBGP path. The administrator executes the following Cisco IOS command:

`ip route 192.168.50.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.12.2 105`

What is the operational result of this configuration, and what modification is required to achieve the desired routing behavior?

A router receives routes for the destination network 10.20.0.0/16 dynamically from OSPF, which uses a default administrative distance of 110. A network administrator needs to create a backup static route for this network using the next-hop address 192.168.1.2 so that it only becomes active if the primary OSPF path fails. Which Cisco IOS command correctly configures this floating static route?

A Cisco IOS router (R1) is configured with three routes for the destination prefix $192.168.10.0/24$: a primary static route (`ip route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.12.2`), an active OSPFv2 dynamic route (Administrative Distance 110 via $10.0.14.2$), and a backup floating static route (`ip route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.13.2 120`). Place the control plane and data plane events in the correct chronological sequence starting immediately after the physical interface connected to $10.0.12.2$ fails.

An administrator is implementing a floating static route on a Cisco IOS router to act as a backup path for a primary route learned dynamically via internal EIGRP (Administrative Distance 90) to the destination subnet $10.100.50.0/24$. The administrator executes the following command:

`ip route 10.100.50.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.1.2 90`

While the primary EIGRP route remains active, traffic destined for $10.100.50.0/24$ is unexpectedly load-shared across both the dynamic route and the static route. Which configuration change will ensure that the static route functions exclusively as a backup route?

An enterprise router R1 learns the internal destination network $10.50.0.0/16$ dynamically via OSPF (default Administrative Distance of 110). A network administrator needs to manually configure two IPv4 static routes on R1:
1. A secondary backup (floating) static route to reach $10.50.0.0/16$ via the next-hop IP address $192.168.12.2$.
2. A default static route to forward all non-matching IPv4 traffic to the upstream ISP router at next-hop IP $203.0.113.1$.

Which TWO commands must be configured on router R1 to achieve these routing requirements? (Select TWO.)

A network engineer wants to configure a floating static route to serve as a backup to a primary route learned via OSPF, which has an Administrative Distance of 110. Which Administrative Distance value should be specified in the static route command so that it is only installed in the routing table when the OSPF route fails?

A Cisco router receives an IPv4 packet destined for host $192.168.10.45$, which matches a static route configured strictly with a next-hop IP address ($10.0.0.2$) rather than an exit interface. Arrange the operational steps in the exact sequence the router executes to process, resolve, and forward this packet.

Router R1 connects an enterprise edge network to two service providers, ISP-A and ISP-B. The primary default path is dynamically learned from ISP-A via eBGP, which assigns an Administrative Distance (AD) of $20$. A network engineer needs to configure a floating static default route toward ISP-B through next-hop IP $198.51.100.1$ as a redundant backup path that will remain inactive in the routing table until the primary eBGP path fails. Which Cisco IOS command correctly achieves this objective?

A network administrator needs to configure reliable static default routing on a Cisco IOS router by tying a primary static route to an IP SLA probes object, ensuring that the route is automatically withdrawn if the target becomes unreachable. Arrange the operational and CLI configuration steps in the correct chronological order from establishing the probe metric to static route activation.

A branch router receives an external EIGRP route (EIGRP EX, Administrative Distance of 170) for the corporate subnet $10.200.0.0/16$ over a primary MPLS link. A network administrator must configure a floating static backup route for $10.200.0.0/16$ using the secondary ISP next-hop address $192.168.1.2$. The backup path must only be installed in the IPv4 routing table if the primary EIGRP EX path becomes unavailable. Which command must be configured on the router to achieve this requirement?

An enterprise edge router dynamically learns the network prefix 10.50.40.0/24 from an internal switch via Internal EIGRP (Administrative Distance 90). A network administrator needs to configure a floating static backup route for this prefix using the next-hop IPv4 address 192.168.254.2 across a secondary connection. Which Cisco IOS command correctly configures the floating static route so that it remains inactive in the routing table until the primary EIGRP path fails?

A Cisco IOS router receives an IPv4 packet destined for host $192.168.2.45$. The router's routing table contains a static route configured as `ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2`. Place the processing steps the router executes to resolve the exit interface and encapsulate the packet in the correct sequential order from first to last.

Router R1 learns the primary route to destination network $10.50.0.0/16$ via OSPF, which has a default Administrative Distance of 110. A network engineer must configure a static backup route to the same network that remains inactive in the routing table until the OSPF route fails. Which Administrative Distance value must be assigned to the static route?

An enterprise router R1 learns an internal EIGRP route to the destination network $10.50.40.0/24$ with an Administrative Distance of 90. A network administrator attempts to configure a floating static backup route for this target subnet via next-hop address $192.168.12.2$ by issuing the command `ip route 10.50.40.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.12.2 85`. Which statement accurately describes the operational impact of this configuration on router R1?

An administrator needs to manually configure an IPv4 static route on a Cisco router to reach remote network $172.20.10.0/24$ using the next-hop IP address $10.0.0.2$, and then permanently save the configuration. What is the correct sequence of steps to complete this configuration starting from Privileged EXEC mode?

A network administrator intends to configure a floating static route on Router R1 to serve as a backup to a primary route dynamically learned via OSPF (Administrative Distance 110) for destination network $172.16.50.0/24$. However, while the primary OSPF link remains healthy and operational, the administrator observes that the newly added static route immediately overrides the OSPF route in the IPv4 routing table. Which command did the administrator incorrectly execute on Router R1?

A network engineer is configuring IPv4 static routes on a Cisco IOS router. Which TWO statements accurately describe the characteristics and syntax of Cisco IPv4 static routing? (Select two.)

An administrator is configuring a backup floating static route on a Cisco router for destination network $10.50.0.0/16$. The primary path to this network is currently learned via EIGRP with an administrative distance of 90. Which `ip route` command correctly implements a backup static route via next-hop IP $192.168.100.2$ that takes effect only if the primary EIGRP route fails?

A network administrator needs to manually configure an IPv4 static route to the destination subnet $192.168.10.0/24$ using the next-hop IP address $10.1.1.2$ on a Cisco IOS router, starting from user EXEC mode. Place the CLI commands and actions in the correct sequential order from first to last.

A Cisco router receives an IPv4 packet destined for host $172.16.5.45$. The routing table contains a static route configured with a next-hop IP address: `ip route 172.16.5.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.2`. In what chronological order does the router execute the forwarding decision and recursive lookup process to transmit this packet? Place the steps in order from first to last.
