IPv4 Static Routing

A network administrator is configuring IPv4 static routes on a Cisco router to connect a branch site. Which two statements accurately describe the operational characteristics of static routing syntax and forwarding decisions on Cisco routers? (Select two.)

An enterprise edge router R1 connects to two distinct Internet Service Providers via Ethernet interfaces. The network team requires primary outbound traffic to traverse ISP-1 via next-hop IPv4 address $203.0.113.1/30$ on interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1. A backup path must traverse ISP-2 via next-hop IPv4 address $198.51.100.1/30$ on interface GigabitEthernet0/0/2, taking effect only if the primary route fails.

Which two configuration statements or operational characteristics are correct for implementing this routing strategy?

A network administrator executes the command `ip route 10.50.1.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.1.2 120` on a Cisco IOS router. What does the numeric value `120` at the end of this command represent?

A Cisco router receives an IPv4 packet destined for a remote subnet. Place the operational steps performed by the router to evaluate IPv4 static routes and forward the packet into the correct sequential order from first to last.

A Cisco router receives an IPv4 packet destined for host $192.168.50.45$. The router's routing table contains a static route `ip route 192.168.50.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2` and a directly connected network $10.1.1.0/30$ out interface `GigabitEthernet0/1`. Arrange the sequential processing steps executed by the router to forward this packet from initial ingress lookup to egress transmission.

A network administrator is evaluating the IPv4 static routing configuration on router R1. Router R1 needs to reach the remote subnet $10.80.16.0/20$. The primary routing path to this destination is currently provided by OSPF, which has an administrative distance of 110. The administrator must configure two static routes:

1. A static route using next-hop IPv4 address $172.16.30.2$ that immediately takes precedence over the OSPF route.
2. A floating static route using next-hop IPv4 address $172.16.40.2$ that serves as a backup only if the OSPF route becomes unavailable.

Which TWO static route commands must be configured on router R1 to achieve this objective? (Select TWO.)

Router Edge-1 is connected to a primary service provider using external BGP (eBGP, Administrative Distance 20) and a secondary service provider using an IPv4 static route to reach destination network $192.168.100.0/24$. The network engineer intends for the static route to serve strictly as a floating backup path that only activates if the primary eBGP route fails. During a routing table audit, the engineer discovers that the static route is active in the routing table even while the primary eBGP link is fully operational.

The current static route configuration on Edge-1 is:
`ip route 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.12.2 15`

Which configuration change on router Edge-1 will ensure that the static route functions correctly as a backup path?

A network administrator is configuring a backup floating static route on router R1 to reach the internal subnet $10.20.0.0/16$. The primary path to this destination is currently learned dynamically via OSPF, which has a default Administrative Distance of $110$. The backup route should traverse next-hop IPv4 address $192.168.12.2$ and must enter the routing table only when the primary OSPF path becomes unavailable. Which Cisco IOS command correctly achieves this objective?

A network administrator is configuring a backup floating static route on router R3 to reach the remote destination network 192.168.50.0/24. The primary path to this network is dynamically learned via EIGRP with a default administrative distance of 90. The secondary path should route traffic through the next-hop IPv4 address 10.1.1.2.

Which TWO statements regarding this floating static route configuration are correct?

A network engineer is configuring an IPv4 static route on router HQ to reach the destination subnet $172.16.40.0/24$. Router HQ connects to the next-hop router over an Ethernet broadcast multi-access segment via interface GigabitEthernet0/1. The engineer enters the command `ip route 172.16.40.0 255.255.255.0 GigabitEthernet0/1` without specifying the next-hop IP address. Which operational issue will occur on router HQ as a result of configuring only the exit interface on a multi-access link?

A network administrator is configuring IPv4 static routes on router R1. The administrator must implement a primary default static route pointing to next-hop IP address $203.0.113.1$, as well as a backup floating static route for destination subnet $172.16.10.0/24$ via next-hop IP $192.168.1.2$. The backup route must take effect only if the primary path learned via OSPF (Administrative Distance of 110) becomes unavailable. Which two commands must the administrator execute on router R1 to satisfy these requirements? (Select two.)

A network engineer observes that traffic from a branch office router toward destination network $172.22.0.0/16$ is taking a low-speed backup WAN link instead of the primary OSPF path. Reviewing the running configuration reveals the following static route entry configured for the backup link:

`ip route 172.22.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.0.99.2 105`

Which statement correctly explains why the backup static route is overriding the primary OSPF path?

A network administrator needs to configure and verify a floating static route on a Cisco IOS router to back up a primary OSPF path (Administrative Distance 110) for destination network $10.50.0.0/24$ via next-hop IP $192.168.12.2$. Place the required configuration and verification steps in the correct chronological order.

A network administrator needs to direct traffic destined specifically for a single log server at $192.168.10.45$ through next-hop IPv4 address $10.1.1.2$, while allowing all other traffic intended for the $192.168.10.0/24$ subnet to follow the existing default path. Which Cisco IOS command must be configured on the router to accomplish this requirement?

A network administrator is configuring redundant internet connectivity on an edge router. The primary ISP connection is reachable via next-hop IPv4 address $203.0.113.1$, while a secondary backup ISP connection is reachable via next-hop IPv4 address $198.51.100.1$. The administrator must configure a primary default static route and a floating backup default static route so that the backup link is utilized only when the primary link fails. Which TWO commands must be configured on the router to fulfill these requirements?

A network engineer configures an IPv4 static route on a Cisco router using a next-hop IP address: ip route 192.168.50.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.12.2. When the router receives an inbound packet destined for host 192.168.50.25, in what order does the Cisco IOS routing engine process the packet to determine the forwarding path? Arrange the operational steps in the correct chronological sequence from first to last.

An enterprise network administrator is configuring a floating static route on router R1 to serve as a backup path for the corporate subnet 172.16.50.0/24. The primary path is currently learned via internal EIGRP (Administrative Distance 90). Which command correctly configures the backup route so that it remains inactive until the primary EIGRP route fails?

A network administrator is configuring static routes on router R1 to reach two remote networks: Subnet A ($10.2.2.0/24$) connected across a point-to-point serial interface (Serial0/0/0), and Subnet B ($10.3.3.0/24$) connected across a multiaccess Ethernet interface (GigabitEthernet0/0, with next-hop IP address $192.168.1.2$). Which two static route configuration commands follow Cisco IOS best practices and prevent unnecessary ARP resolution overhead?

A network administrator configures R1 with a primary dynamic route learned via OSPF (Administrative Distance $110$) and a floating static backup route (Administrative Distance $130$) targeting network $10.5.0.0/24$. Place the operational steps performed by R1 in the correct chronological sequence following an interface link failure on the primary path.

An administrator needs to configure a backup static route on router R1 to reach destination network $10.20.30.0/24$ only if the primary path learned via internal EIGRP (Administrative Distance $90$) becomes unavailable. The next-hop IPv4 address for the backup path is $192.168.1.2$. Which command must be entered on router R1 to achieve this objective?
