1.

Which feature on a Cisco router permits the forwarding of traffic for

which there is no specific route?
• next-hop
• gateway of last resort
• route source
• outgoing interface
Explanation: A default static route is used as a gateway of last resort to
forward unknown destination traffic to a next hop/exit interface. The next-
hop or exit interface is the destination to send traffic to on a network after
the traffic is matched in a router. The route source is the location a route
was learned from.
2. Which three advantages are provided by static routing? (Choose three.)
• Static routing does not advertise over the network, thus providing
better security.
• Configuration of static routes is error-free.
• Static routes scale well as the network grows.
• Static routing typically uses less network bandwidth and fewer CPU
operations than dynamic routing does.
• The path a static route uses to send data is known.
• No intervention is required to maintain changing route information.
Explanation: Static routes are prone to errors from incorrect configuration
by the administrator. They do not scale well, because the routes must be
manually reconfigured to accommodate a growing network. Intervention is
required each time a route change is necessary. They do provide better
security, use less bandwidth, and provide a known path to the destination.
3. What are two functions of dynamic routing protocols? (Choose two.)
• to maintain routing tables
• to assure low router overhead
• to avoid exposing network information
• to discover the network
• to choose the path that is specified by the administrator
Explanation: Dynamic routing protocols exist to discover the network,
maintain routing tables, and calculate the best path. Having low levels of
routing overhead, using the path specified by the administrator, and
avoiding the exposure of network information are functions of static
routing.
4. What is an advantage of using dynamic routing protocols instead of
static routing?
• easier to implement
• more secure in controlling routing updates
• fewer router resource overhead requirements
• ability to actively search for new routes if the current path becomes
unavailable
Explanation: Dynamic routing has the ability to search and find a new best
path if the current path is no longer available. The other options are actually
the advantages of static routing.
5. What happens to a static route entry in a routing table when the
outgoing interface associated with that route goes into the down state?
• The static route is removed from the routing table.
• The router polls neighbors for a replacement route.
• The router automatically redirects the static route to use another
interface.
• The static route remains in the table because it was defined as static.
Explanation: When the interface associated with a static route goes down,
the router will remove the route because it is no longer valid.
6. What is a characteristic of a static route that matches all packets?
• It uses a single network address to send multiple static routes to one
destination address.
• It identifies the gateway IP address to which the router sends all IP
packets for which it does not have a learned or static route.
• It backs up a route already discovered by a dynamic routing protocol.
• It is configured with a higher administrative distance than the original
dynamic routing protocol has.
Explanation: A default static route is a route that matches all packets. It
identifies the gateway IP address to which the router sends all IP packets for
which it does not have a learned or static route. A default static route is
simply a static route with [Link]/0 as the destination IPv4 address.
Configuring a default static route creates a gateway of last resort.
7. When would it be more beneficial to use a dynamic routing protocol
instead of static routing?
• in an organization where routers suffer from performance issues
• on a stub network that has a single exit point
• in an organization with a smaller network that is not expected to
grow in size
• on a network where there is a lot of topology changes
Explanation: Dynamic routing protocols consume more router resources,
are suitable for larger networks, and are more useful on networks that are
growing and changing.
8. Which route would be used to forward a packet with a source IP
address of [Link] and a destination IP address of [Link]?
• C [Link]/30 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/1
• O [Link]/24 [110/65] via [Link], 00:01:20, Serial0/1/0
• S* [Link]/0 [1/0] via [Link]
• S [Link]/16 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0
Explanation: Even though OSPF has a higher administrative distance value
(less trustworthy), the best match is the route in the routing table that has
the most number of far left matching bits.
9. Refer to the exhibit. What is the administrative distance value of the
route for router R1 to reach the destination IPv6 address of
2001:DB8:CAFE:4::A?

• 120
• 110
• 1
• 4
Explanation: The RIP route with the source code R is used to forward data
to the destination IPv6 address of 2001:DB8:CAFE:4::A. This route has an AD
value of 120.
10. Which value in a routing table represents trustworthiness and is used
by the router to determine which route to install into the routing table
when there are multiple routes toward the same destination?
• administrative distance
• metric
• outgoing interface
• routing protocol
Explanation: The administrative distance represents the trustworthiness of
a particular route. The lower an administrative distance, the more
trustworthy the learned route is. When a router learns multiple routes
toward the same destination, the router uses the administrative distance
value to determine which route to place into the routing table. A metric is
used by a routing protocol to compare routes received from the routing
protocol. An exit interface is the interface used to send a packet in the
direction of the destination network. A routing protocol is used to exchange
routing updates between two or more adjacent routers.
12. Refer to the graphic. Which command would be used on router A to
configure a static route to direct traffic from LAN A that is destined for
LAN C?

• A(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]

• A(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
• A(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
• A(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
• A(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
Explanation: The destination network on LAN C is [Link] and the next-
hop address from the perspective of router A is [Link].
13. On which two routers would a default static route be configured?
(Choose two.)
• any router where a backup route to dynamic routing is needed for
reliability
• the router that serves as the gateway of last resort
• any router running an IOS prior to 12.0
• stub router connection to the rest of the corporate or campus
network
• edge router connection to the ISP
Explanation: A stub router or an edge router connected to an ISP has only
one other router as a connection. A default static route works in those
situations because all traffic will be sent to one destination. The destination
router is the gateway of last resort. The default route is not configured on
the gateway, but on the router sending traffic to the gateway. The router
IOS does not matter.
14. Refer to the exhibit. This network has two connections to the ISP, one
via router C and one via router B. The serial link between router A and
router C supports EIGRP and is the primary link to the Internet. If the
primary link fails, the administrator needs a floating static route that
avoids recursive route lookups and any potential next-hop issues caused
by the multiaccess nature of the Ethernet segment with router B. What
should the administrator configure?

• Create a static route pointing to [Link] with an AD of 95.

• Create a fully specified static route pointing to Fa0/0 with an AD of 1.
• Create a fully specified static route pointing to Fa0/0 with an AD of
95.
• Create a static route pointing to [Link] with an AD of 1.
• Create a static route pointing to Fa0/0 with an AD of 1.
Explanation: A floating static route is a static route with an administrative
distance higher than that of another route already in the routing table. If
the route in the table disappears, the floating static route will be put into
the routing table in its place. Internal EIGRP has an AD of 90, so a floating
static route in this scenario would need to have an AD higher than 90. Also,
when creating a static route to a multiaccess interface like a FastEthernet
segment a fully specified route should be used, with both a next-hop IP
address and an exit interface.
15. What is a characteristic of a floating static route?
• When it is configured, it creates a gateway of last resort.
• It is used to provide load balancing between static routes.
• It is simply a static route with [Link]/0 as the destination IPv4
address.
• It is configured with a higher administrative distance than the
original dynamic routing protocol has.
Explanation: Floating static routes are static routes used to provide a
backup path to a primary static or dynamic route, in the event of a link
failure. They must be configured with a higher administrative distance than
the original dynamic routing protocol has. A default static route is simply a
static route with [Link]/0 as the destination IPv4 address. Configuring a
default static route creates a gateway of last resort.
16. What network prefix and prefix-length combination is used to create a
default static route that will match any IPv6 destination?
• FFFF::/128
• ::1/64
• ::/128
• ::/0
Explanation: A default static route configured for IPv6, is a network prefix of
all zeros and a prefix mask of 0 which is expressed as ::/0.
17. Consider the following command:
ip route [Link] [Link] [Link] 5
What does the 5 at the end of the command signify?
• exit interface
• maximum number of hops to the [Link]/24 network
• metric
• administrative distance
Explanation: The 5 at the end of the command signifies administrative
distance. This value is added to floating static routes or routes that only
appear in the routing table when the preferred route has gone down. The 5
at the end of the command signifies administrative distance configured for
the static route. This value indicates that the floating static route will
appear in the routing table when the preferred route (with an
administrative distance less than 5) is down.
18. Refer to the exhibit. The routing table for R2 is as follows:
Gateway of last resort is not set
[Link]/30 is subnetted, 2 subnets
C [Link] is directly connected, Serial0/0/0
C [Link] is directly connected, Serial0/0/1
[Link]/26 is subnetted, 3 subnets
S [Link] is directly connected, Serial0/0/0
C [Link] is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
S [Link] [1/0] via [Link]
What will router R2 do with a packet destined for [Link]?

• send the packet out interface FastEthernet0/0

• send the packet out interface Serial0/0/1
• drop the packet
• send the packet out interface Serial0/0/0
Explanation: When a static route is configured with the next hop address
(as in the case of the [Link] network), the output of the show ip
route command lists the route as “via” a particular IP address. The router
has to look up that IP address to determine which interface to send the
packet out. Because the IP address of [Link] is part of network [Link],
the router sends the packet out interface Serial0/0/1.
19. An administrator issues the ipv6 route 2001:db8:acad:1::/32
gigabitethernet0/0 2001:db8:acad:6::1 100 command on a router. What
administrative distance is assigned to this route?
• 0
• 1
• 32
• 100
Explanation: The command ipv6 route 2001:db8:acad:1::/32
gigabitethernet0/0 2001:db8:acad:6::1 100 will configure a floating static
route on a router. The 100 at the end of the command specifies the
administrative distance of 100 to be applied to the route.
20. Refer to the exhibit. Which default static route command would allow
R1 to potentially reach all unknown networks on the Internet?

• R1(config)# ipv6 route 2001:db8:32::/64 G0/0

• R1(config)# ipv6 route ::/0 G0/0 fe80::2
• R1(config)# ipv6 route 2001:db8:32::/64 G0/1 fe80::2
• R1(config)# ipv6 route ::/0 G0/1 fe80::2
Explanation: To route packets to unknown IPv6 networks a router will need
an IPv6 default route. The static route ipv6 route ::/0 G0/1 fe80::2 will
match all networks and send packets out the specified exit interface G0/1
toward R2.
21. Refer to the exhibit. The network engineer for the company that is
shown wants to use the primary ISP connection for all external
connectivity. The backup ISP connection is used only if the primary ISP
connection fails. Which set of commands would accomplish this goal?

• ip route [Link] [Link] s0/0/0

ip route [Link] [Link] s0/1/0
• ip route [Link] [Link] s0/0/0
ip route [Link] [Link] s0/1/0 10
• ip route [Link] [Link]
ip route [Link] [Link] 10
• ip route [Link] [Link]
ip route [Link] [Link]
Explanation: A static route that has no administrative distance added as
part of the command has a default administrative distance of 1. The backup
link should have a number higher than 1. The correct answer has an
administrative distance of 10. The other quad zero route would load balance
packets across both links and both links would appear in the routing table.
The remaining answers are simply static routes (either a default route or a
floating static default route).
22. Refer to the exhibit. Which set of commands will configure static
routes that will allow the Park and the Alta routers to a) forward packets
to each LAN and b) direct all other traffic to the Internet?

• Park(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]

Alta(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
Alta(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] s0/0/0
• Park(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
Alta(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
Alta(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] s0/0/0
• Park(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
Park(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
Alta(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
 • Park(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
Alta(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
Alta(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] s0/0/1
Explanation: The LAN connected to the router Park is a stud network,
therefore, a default route should be used to forward network traffic
destined to non-local networks. The router Alta connects to both the
internet and the Park router, it would require two static routes configured,
23. Refer to the exhibit. The small company shown uses static routing.
Users on the R2 LAN have reported a problem with connectivity. What is
the issue?

• R1 needs a static route to the R2 LAN.

• R2 needs a static route to the R1 LANs.
• R1 needs a default route to R2.
• R2 needs a static route to the Internet.
• R1 and R2 must use a dynamic routing protocol.
Explanation: R1 has a default route to the Internet. R2 has a default route
to R1. R1 is missing a static route for the [Link] network. Any traffic that
reached R1 and is destined for [Link]/24 will be routed to the ISP.
24. Refer to the exhibit. An administrator is attempting to install an IPv6
static route on router R1 to reach the network attached to router R2. After
the static route command is entered, connectivity to the network is still
failing. What error has been made in the static route configuration?

• The next hop address is incorrect.

• The interface is incorrect.
• The destination network is incorrect.
• The network prefix is incorrect.
Explanation: In this example the interface in the static route is incorrect. The
interface should be the exit interface on R1, which is s0/0/0.
25. Refer to the exhibit. How was the host route 2001:DB8:CAFE:4::1/128
installed in the routing table?

• The route was dynamically created by router R1.

• The route was dynamically learned from another router.
• The route was manually entered by an administrator.
• The route was automatically installed when an IP address was
configured on an active interface.
Explanation: A host route is an IPv6 route with a 128-bit mask. A host route
can be installed in a routing table automatically when an IP address is
configured on a router interface or manually if a static route is created.
26. Refer to the exhibit. HostA is attempting to contact ServerB. Which
two statements correctly describe the addressing that HostA will generate
in the process? (Choose two.)

• A packet with the destination IP address of RouterA.

• A frame with the destination MAC address of SwitchA.
• A packet with the destination IP address of ServerB.
• A frame with the destination MAC address of RouterA.
• A frame with the destination MAC address of ServerB.
• A packet with the destination IP address of RouterB.
Explanation: In order to send data to ServerB, HostA will generate a packet
that contains the IP address of the destination device on the remote
network and a frame that contains the MAC address of the default gateway
device on the local network.
27. Refer to the exhibit. A ping from R1 to [Link] is successful, but a ping
from R1 to any address in the [Link] network fails. What is the cause
of this problem?

• There is no gateway of last resort at R1.

• The static route for [Link] is incorrectly configured.
• A default route is not configured on R1.
• The serial interface between the two routers is down.
28. Refer to the exhibit. An administrator is attempting to install a default
static route on router R1 to reach the Site B network on router R2. After
entering the static route command, the route is still not showing up in the
routing table of router R1. What is preventing the route from installing in
the routing table?

• The netmask is incorrect.

• The exit interface is missing.
• The next hop address is incorrect.
• The destination network is incorrect.
Explanation: The next hop address is incorrect. From R1 the next hop
address should be that of the serial interface of R2, [Link].
29. Refer to the exhibit. The Branch Router has an OSPF neighbor
relationship with the HQ router over the [Link]/30 network. The
[Link]/30 network link should serve as a backup when the OSPF link
goes down. The floating static route command ip route [Link] [Link]
S0/1/1 100 was issued on Branch and now traffic is using the backup link
even when the OSPF link is up and functioning. Which change should be
made to the static route command so that traffic will only use the OSPF
link when it is up?

• Add the next hop neighbor address of [Link].

• Change the administrative distance to 1.
• Change the destination network to [Link].
• Change the administrative distance to 120.
Explanation: The problem with the current floating static route is that the
administrative distance is set too low. The administrative distance will need
to be higher than that of OSPF, which is 110, so that the router will only use
the OSPF link when it is up.
30. What characteristic completes the following statement?
When an IPv6 static route is configured, the next-hop address can be ……
• a destination host route with a /128 prefix.
• the “show ipv6 route static” command.
• an IPv6 link-local address on the adjacent router.
• the interface type and interface number.
31. Gateway of last resort is not set.

Refer to the exhibit. Which interface will be the exit interface to forward a
data packet that has the destination IP address [Link]?
• GigabitEthernet0/1
• None, the packet will be dropped.
• GigabitEthernet0/0
• Serial0/0/1
32. Refer to the exhibit. What routing solution will allow both PC A and PC
B to access the Internet with the minimum amount of router CPU and
network bandwidth utilization?

• Configure a dynamic routing protocol between R1 and Edge and

advertise all routes.
• Configure a static route from R1 to Edge and a dynamic route from
Edge to R1.
• Configure a static default route from R1 to Edge, a default route
from Edge to the Internet, and a static route from Edge to R1.
• Configure a dynamic route from R1 to Edge and a static route from
Edge to R1.
Explanation: Two routes have to be created: a default route in R1 to reach
Edge and a static route in Edge to reach R1 for the return traffic. This is a
best solution once PC A and PC B belong to stub networks. Moreover, static
routing consumes less bandwidth than dynamic routing.
33. Refer to the exhibit. What would happen after the IT administrator
enters the new static route?

• The [Link] static route would be entered into the running-config

but not shown in the routing table.
• The [Link] route learned from RIP would be replaced with the
[Link] static route.
• The [Link] default route would be replaced with the [Link] static
route.
• The [Link] static route is added to the existing routes in the
routing table.
Explanation: A route will be installed in a routing table if there is not
another routing source with a lower administrative distance. If a route with
a lower administrative distance to the same destination network as a
current route is entered, the route with the lower administrative distance
will replace the route with a higher administrative distance.
34. What two pieces of information are needed in a fully specified static
route to eliminate recursive lookups? (Choose two.)
• the interface ID of the next-hop neighbor
• the interface ID exit interface
• the IP address of the exit interface
• the IP address of the next-hop neighbor
• the administrative distance for the destination network
Explanation: A fully specified static route can be used to avoid recursive
routing table lookups by the router. A fully specified static route contains
both the IP address of the next-hop router and the ID of the exit interface.
35. Refer to the exhibit. Which command will properly configure an IPv6
static route on R2 that will allow traffic from PC2 to reach PC1 without any
recursive lookups by router R2?

• R2(config)# ipv6 route ::/0 2001:db8:32::1

• R2(config)# ipv6 route 2001:db8:10:12::/64 S0/0/0
• R2(config)# ipv6 route 2001:db8:10:12::/64 2001:db8:32::1
• R2(config)# ipv6 route 2001:db8:10:12::/64 S0/0/1
Explanation: A nonrecursive route must have an exit interface specified
from which the destination network can be reached. In this example
2001:db8:10:12::/64 is the destination network and R2 will use exit interface
S0/0/0 to reach that network. Therefore, the static route would be ipv6
route 2001:db8:10:12::/64 S0/0/0.
36. Refer to the exhibit. Which static route would an IT technician enter to
create a backup route to the [Link] network that is only used if the
primary RIP learned route fails?

• ip route [Link] [Link] s0/0/0

OV3XU[ZK3狣狩狤狣狨狣狢3狤狧狧狤狧狧狤狧狧狢3狣狢狢狢狤3狣狥狢

• ip route [Link] [Link] s0/0/0 121

• ip route [Link] [Link] s0/0/0 111
• ip route [Link] [Link] s0/0/0 91
Explanation: A backup static route is called a floating static route. A floating
static route has an administrative distance greater than the administrative
distance of another static route or dynamic route.
37. Open the PT Activity. Perform the tasks in the activity instructions and
then answer the question.

Modules 14 – 16: Routing Concepts and Configuration Exam

A user reports that PC0 cannot visit the web server [Link].
Troubleshoot the network configuration to identify the problem.

What is the cause of the problem?

• The clock rate on one of the serial links is configured incorrectly.
• A serial interface on Branch is configured incorrectly.
• The DNS server address on PC0 is configured incorrectly.
• Routing between HQ and Branch is configured incorrectly.
Explanation: In order to allow communication to remote networks, proper
routing, either static or dynamic, is necessary. Both routers must be
configured with a routing method.
38. Match the routing table entry to the corresponding function. (Not all
options are used.)
39. Refer to the exhibit. PC A sends a request to Server B. What IPv4
address is used in the destination field in the packet as the packet leaves
PC A?

• [Link]
• [Link]
• [Link]
• [Link]
Explanation: The destination IP address in packets does not change along
the path between the source and destination.
40. What does R1 use as the MAC address of the destination when
constructing the frame that will go from R1 to Server B?

• If the destination MAC address that corresponds to the IPv4 address

is not in the ARP cache, R1 sends an ARP request.
• R1 uses the destination MAC address of S1.
• The packet is encapsulated into a PPP frame, and R1 adds the PPP
destination address to the frame.
• R1 leaves the field blank and forwards the data to the PC.
Explanation: Communication inside a local network uses Address Resolution
Protocol to obtain a MAC address from a known IPv4 address. A MAC
address is needed to construct the frame in which the packet is
encapsulated.’

41. What route would have the lowest administrative distance?

• a route received through the OSPF routing protocol
• a directly connected network
• a static route
• a route received through the EIGRP routing protocol
Explanation: The most believable route or the route with the lowest
administrative distance is one that is directly connected to a router.
42. What characteristic completes the following statement?
When an IPv6 static route is configured, as a backup route to a static route
in the routing table, the “distance” command is used with ……
• the “show ipv6 route static” command.
• an administrative distance of 2.
• a destination host route with a /128 prefix. OV3XU[ZK3狣狩狤狣狨狥狤狢3狤狧狧狤狧狧狤狤狦狢3Y狢狢狢3狣狤狢

• the interface type and interface number.

43. A router has used the OSPF protocol to learn a route to the
[Link]/19 network. Which command will implement a backup
floating static route to this network?
• ip route [Link] [Link] S0/0/0 100
• ip route [Link] [Link] S0/0/0 200
• ip route [Link] [Link] S0/0/0 200
• ip route [Link] [Link] S0/0/0 100
Explanation: OSPF has an administrative distance of 110, so the floating
static route must have an administrative distance higher than 110. Because
the target network is [Link]/19, that static route must use the
network [Link] and a netmask of [Link].
44. Consider the following command:
ip route [Link] [Link] [Link] 5
How would an administrator test this configuration?
• Delete the default gateway route on the router.
• Manually shut down the router interface used as a primary route.
• Ping from the [Link] network to the [Link] address.
• Ping any valid address on the [Link]/24 network.
Explanation: A floating static is a backup route that only appears in the
routing table when the interface used with the primary route is down. To
test a floating static route, the route must be in the routing table. Therefore,
shutting down the interface used as a primary route would allow the
floating static route to appear in the routing table.
45. Refer to the exhibit. Which type of IPv6 static route is configured in the
exhibit?

• floating static route

• fully specified static route
• recursive static route
• directly attached static route
Explanation: The route provided points to another address that must be
looked up in the routing table. This makes the route a recursive static route.
46. What characteristic completes the following statement?
When an IPv6 static route is configured, it is first necessary to configure
……
• the next-hop address of two different adjacent routers.
• the “ipv6 unicast-routing” command.
• an IPv6 link-local address on the adjacent router.
• an administrative distance of 2.
47. Gateway of last resort is not set.

Refer to the exhibit. Which interface will be the exit interface to forward a
data packet that has the destination IP address [Link]?
• GigabitEthernet0/0
• GigabitEthernet0/1
• Serial0/0/0
• None, the packet will be dropped.
48. Refer to the exhibit. What will the router do with a packet that has a
destination IP address of [Link]?

• Drop the packet.

• Send the packet out the GigabitEthernet0/0 interface.
• Send the packet out the Serial0/0/0 interface.
• Send the packet out the GigabitEthernet0/1 interface.
Explanation: After a router determines the destination network by ANDing
the destination IP address with the subnet mask, the router examines the
routing table for the resulting destination network number. When a match is
found, the packet is sent to the interface associated with the network
number. When no routing table entry is found for the particular network,
the default gateway or gateway of last resort (if configured or known) is
used. If there is no gateway of last resort, the packet is dropped. In this
instance, the [Link] network is not found in the routing table and
the router uses the gateway of last resort. The gateway of last resort is the
IP address of [Link]. The router knows this is an IP address that is
associated with the [Link] network. The router then proceeds to
transmit the packet out the Serial0/0/0 interface, or the interface that is
associated with [Link].
49. Consider the following command:
ip route [Link] [Link] [Link] 5
Which route would have to go down in order for this static route to appear
in the routing table?
• a default route
• a static route to the [Link]/24 network
• an OSPF-learned route to the [Link]/24 network
• an EIGRP-learned route to the [Link]/24 network
The administrative distance of 5 added to the end of the static route creates
a floating static situation for a static route that goes down. Static routes
have a default administrative distance of 1. This route that has an
administrative distance of 5 will not be placed into the routing table unless
the previously entered static route to the [Link]/24 goes down or
was never entered. The administrative distance of 5 added to the end of the
static route configuration creates a floating static route that will be placed
in the routing table when the primary route to the same destination
network goes down. By default, a static route to the [Link]/24
network has an administrative distance of 1. Therefore, the floating route
with an administrative distance of 5 will not be placed into the routing table
unless the previously entered static route to the [Link]/24 goes down
or was never entered. Because the floating route has an administrative
distance of 5, the route is preferred to an OSPF-learned route (with the
administrative distance of 110) or an EIGRP-learned route (with the
administrative distance of 110) to the same destination network.
50. What are two advantages of static routing over dynamic routing?
(Choose two.)
• Static routing is more secure because it does not advertise over the
network.
• Static routing scales well with expanding networks.
• Static routing requires very little knowledge of the network for correct
implementation.
• Static routing uses fewer router resources than dynamic routing.
• Static routing is relatively easy to configure for large networks.
Static routing requires a thorough understanding of the entire network for
proper implementation. It can be prone to errors and does not scale well for
large networks. Static routing uses fewer router resources, because no
computing is required for updating routes. Static routing can also be more
secure because it does not advertise over the network.
51. What characteristic completes the following statement?
When an IPv6 static route is configured, it is possible that the same IPv6
link-local address is used for …
• a destination host route with a /128 prefix.
• the “ipv6 unicast-routing” command.
• the next-hop address of two different adjacent routers.
• an administrative distance of 2.

52. A network administrator configures the interface fa0/0 on the router

R1 with the command ip address [Link] [Link]. However,
when the administrator issues the command show ip route, the routing
table does not show the directly connected network. What is the possible
cause of the problem?
• The subnet mask is incorrect for the IPv4 address.
• The configuration needs to be saved first.
• The interface fa0/0 has not been activated.
• No packets with a destination network of [Link] have been sent
to R1.
Explanation: A directly connected network will be added to the routing
table when these three conditions are met: (1) the interface is configured
with a valid IP address; (2) it is activated with no shutdown command; and
(3) it receives a carrier signal from another device that is connected to the
interface. An incorrect subnet mask for an IPv4 address will not prevent its
appearance in the routing table, although the error may prevent successful
communications.
53. Refer to the exhibit. What command would be used to configure a
static route on R1 so that traffic from both LANs can reach the
2001:db8:1:4::/64 remote network?

• ipv6 route 2001:db8:1:4::/64 2001:db8:1:3::1

• ipv6 route 2001:db8:1::/65 2001:db8:1:3::1
• ipv6 route ::/0 serial0/0/0
• ipv6 route 2001:db8:1:4::/64 2001:db8:1:3::2
Explanation: To configure an IPv6 static route, use the ipv6 route command
followed by the destination network. Then add either the IP address of the
adjacent router or the interface R1 will use to transmit a packet to the
2001:db8:1:4::/64 network.
54. Refer to the exhibit. What two commands will change the next-hop
address for the [Link]/8 network from [Link] to [Link]?
(Choose two.)

• A(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]

• A(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] s0/0/0
• A(config)# no ip address [Link] [Link] [Link]
• A(config)# no network [Link] [Link] [Link]
• A(config)# no ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
Explanation: The two required commands are A(config)# no ip route
[Link] [Link] [Link] and A(config)# ip route [Link] [Link]
[Link].

Which static route is configured here?
• Floating static
• Recursive static
• Directly attached static
• Fully specified static
Explain: The Router has to look up in the routing table twice to find the exit
interface. The first is shown in the Question now the router has to lookup
what interface ex.s0/0/0 that the 3000::1 address is associated with. route
table ex. 2001:0DB8:3000::1 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0. This is the
2nd lookup in the table to find out that the packet needs to exit the s0/0/0
interface making the first route a recursive and 2nd route a direct.
