IPv4 Static Routing

A network engineer is configuring router R1 to maintain redundant connectivity to an upstream ISP. R1 currently learns a default route ($0.0.0.0/0$) via OSPF, which has a default Administrative Distance of 110. The engineer needs to configure a floating static default route using the next-hop IP address $192.168.12.2$ over a secondary link so that it serves strictly as a backup if the OSPF path fails. Which TWO of the following statements accurately describe the configuration or operational behavior of this floating static route?

A border router receives a primary IPv4 route for destination network $198.51.100.0/24$ via external BGP (eBGP), which has an administrative distance of $20$. The network engineer must configure a backup floating static route via next-hop IPv4 address $203.0.113.5$ that remains inactive in the routing table unless the primary eBGP path becomes unavailable. Which command must be configured on the border router to achieve this requirement?

An engineer is configuring router R1 to reach the internal network $10.50.0.0/16$ using a backup path via next-hop IPv4 address $192.168.12.2$. The primary route to $10.50.0.0/16$ is currently dynamically learned via EIGRP with an administrative distance of $90$. Which command must be configured on R1 so that the static route functions as a floating static route and only enters the routing table if the primary route fails?

A network engineer must configure router R1 with a primary static route to reach destination subnet $192.168.20.0/24$ using next-hop IPv4 address $10.1.12.2$. Additionally, a backup (floating) static route to the same destination subnet must be configured using next-hop IPv4 address $10.1.14.2$ so that it only enters the routing table if the primary path becomes unavailable. Which TWO static route configuration commands must be applied on router R1 to satisfy these requirements? (Select TWO.)

Router R3 currently populates its routing table with a primary route to the $172.16.40.0/24$ network via OSPF, which carries a default administrative distance of $110$. A network administrator wants to implement a backup path to $172.16.40.0/24$ using the next-hop IPv4 address $10.2.2.2$. The backup route must remain inactive in the routing table unless the primary OSPF path becomes unavailable. Which command should be entered on router R3 to accomplish this objective?

A Cisco router receives an IPv4 packet destined for $192.168.10.45$. The router has a single static route configured as follows: `ip route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2`. Arrange the steps of the router's lookup and packet forwarding process in the correct sequential order from first to last.

A network administrator needs to configure static routes on a Cisco IOS router for destination subnet $10.15.0.0/16$. The primary route should use next-hop IP address $192.168.1.2$ with default priority. Additionally, a floating static backup route must be configured via next-hop IP address $192.168.2.2$ to take over only if the primary path learned via OSPF (Administrative Distance 110) becomes unavailable. Which two CLI commands correctly configure this static routing behavior? (Select TWO options.)

A Cisco router configured with the static route `ip route 172.16.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2` receives an IPv4 packet destined for $172.16.10.45$. Place the steps performed by the router to process and forward this packet in the correct sequential order from first to last.

A network engineer needs to configure a backup IPv4 static route on router HQ-Rtr to reach the remote LAN $10.220.50.0/24$. The primary path to this destination is learned via OSPFv2, which has a default Administrative Distance of 110. The backup static path must be routed through the next-hop IP address $192.168.88.2$ and should only be inserted into the IP routing table if the primary OSPF path fails. Which Cisco IOS command must be configured on HQ-Rtr to achieve this design requirement?

A network administrator is configuring static routes on router R1 to provide redundancy for destination network $172.20.50.0/24$. The primary path to this network is currently learned via OSPF with an administrative distance of $110$. The administrator wants to add a backup static route via next-hop IPv4 address $192.168.12.2$ and evaluate static route forwarding behavior on broadcast networks. Which two statements regarding static route configuration and forwarding logic are correct? (Select two.)

Router R1 contains the following IPv4 routing table entries for destination networks within the enterprise core:

- A static route to $10.10.4.0/24$ with a configured administrative distance of $110$
- An OSPF route to $10.10.0.0/16$ with an administrative distance of $110$
- A RIP route to $10.10.4.32/27$ with an administrative distance of $120$

When Router R1 receives an IPv4 packet destined for host $10.10.4.50$, which route will R1 select to forward the traffic?

A network administrator needs to configure a fully specified IPv4 static route on a Cisco router to reach destination subnet $10.50.0.0/16$. The next-hop router interface IP address is $172.16.1.2$, and the outbound multiaccess Ethernet interface on the local router is GigabitEthernet0/0. Which command correctly establishes this route while avoiding recursive routing table lookups?

A Cisco IOS router receives an IPv4 packet destined for $10.150.20.5$. The routing table contains a static route `ip route 10.150.20.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.1.2` pointing to a next-hop address. Place the steps describing how the router recursively resolves the next-hop and forwards the packet in the correct sequential order from first to last.

A network administrator needs to configure a backup floating static route on router R1 to reach the internal subnetwork $172.16.50.0/24$. The primary route to this destination is learned via OSPF, which operates with its default administrative distance. Which command must be configured on R1 so that the static route remains inactive until the primary OSPF path fails?

A network administrator needs to configure a floating static default route on a Cisco IOS router to serve as a backup to an existing OSPF-learned default route (Administrative Distance of 110). Place the operational steps in the correct sequential order to configure, validate normal operation, and verify failover behavior of this backup route.

An engineer is configuring a backup link on router R2 to reach the internal network $10.50.0.0/16$. The primary path is currently learned dynamically via OSPF, which has a default administrative distance of 110. Which Cisco IOS command correctly configures a floating static route that remains inactive unless the primary OSPF route fails?

A network administrator needs to manually configure a floating static route on a Cisco IOS router to serve as a backup path. Arrange the required command components in the correct sequential order from left to right as typed in the CLI.

A network engineer is analyzing the forwarding behavior of router R1 for traffic destined to IP address $172.20.16.45$. The router currently has an active OSPFv2 process that learns prefix $172.20.16.0/20$ (Administrative Distance 110). Additionally, the administrator configures three IPv4 static routes on R1:

- Command 1: `ip route 172.20.16.0 255.255.240.0 10.0.0.2 115`
- Command 2: `ip route 172.20.16.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.1.2`
- Command 3: `ip route 172.20.16.32 255.255.255.224 10.0.2.2 120`

Assuming all next-hop IP addresses ($10.0.0.2$, $10.0.1.2$, and $10.0.2.2$) are reachable via directly connected subnets, which route will router R1 use to forward the packet destined to $172.20.16.45$, and why?
