1. What are two advantages of static routing over dynamic routing? (Choose two.

)
A. Static routing is more secure because it does not advertise over the
network.
B. Static routing scales well with expanding networks.
C. Static routing requires very little knowledge of the network for correct
implementation.
D. Static routing uses fewer router resources than dynamic routing.
E. 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.
2. 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?

A. Configure a static route from R1 to Edge and a dynamic route from Edge to
R1.
B. 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.
C. Configure a dynamic route from R1 to Edge and a static route from Edge to
R1.
D. Configure a dynamic routing protocol between R1 and Edge and advertise all
routes.
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.
3. What is the correct syntax of a floating static route?
A. ip route 209.165.200.228 255.255.255.248 serial 0/0/0
B. ip route 209.165.200.228 255.255.255.248 10.0.0.1 120
C. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial 0/0/0
D. ip route 172.16.0.0 255.248.0.0 10.0.0.1
Floating static routes are used as backup routes, often to routes learned from
dynamic routing protocols. To be a floating static route, the configured route must
have a higher administrative distance than the primary route. For example, if the
primary route is learned through OSPF, then a floating static route that serves as
a backup to the OSPF route must have an administrative distance greater than
110. The administrative distance on a floating static route is put at the end of the
static route: ip route 209.165.200.228 255.255.255.248 10.0.0.1 120.
4. What is a characteristic of a static route that matches all packets?
A. It backs up a route already discovered by a dynamic routing protocol.
B. It uses a single network address to send multiple static routes to one
destination address.
C. 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.
D. It is configured with a higher administrative distance than the original
dynamic routing protocol has.
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
0.0.0.0/0 as the destination IPv4 address. Configuring a default static route
creates a gateway of last resort.
5. What type of route allows a router to forward packets even though its routing
table contains no specific route to the destination network?
A. dynamic route
B. default route
C. destination route
D. generic route
6. Why would a floating static route be configured with an administrative distance
that is higher than the administrative distance of a dynamic routing protocol that
is running on the same router?
A. to be used as a backup route
B. to load-balance the traffic
C. to act as a gateway of last resort
D. to be the priority route in the routing table
By default, dynamic routing protocols have a higher administrative distance than
static routes. Configuring a static route with a higher administrative distance than
that of the dynamic routing protocol will result in the dynamic route being used
instead of the static route. However, should the dynamically learned route fail,
then the static route will be used as a backup.
7. A company has several networks with the following IP address requirements:

IP phones – 50
PCs – 70

IP cameras – 10

wireless access points – 10

network printers – 10

network scanners – 2

Which block of addresses would be the minimum to accommodate all of these

devices if each type of device was on its own network?
A. 172.16.0.0/25
B. 172.16.0.0/24
C. 172.16.0.0/23
D. 172.16.0.0/22
The network for the PCs would require a subnet mask of /25 in order to
accommodate 70 devices. That network could use IP addresses 0 through 127.
Phones require a subnet mask of /26 for 50 devices (addresses 128-191). Three
/28 networks are needed in order to accommodate cameras, APs, and printers.
The network scanner network can use a /30. A block of addresses with a mask of
/24 will accommodate this site as the minimum amount needed.
8. What happens to a static route entry in a routing table when the outgoing
interface associated with that route goes into the down state?
A. The static route is removed from the routing table.
B. The router polls neighbors for a replacement route.
C. The static route remains in the table because it was defined as static.
D. The router automatically redirects the static route to use another interface.
When the interface associated with a static route goes down, the router will
remove the route because it is no longer valid.
9. The network administrator configures the router with the ip route 172.16.1.0
255.255.255.0 172.16.2.2 command. How will this route appear in the routing
table?
A. C 172.16.1.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0
B. S 172.16.1.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0
C. C 172.16.1.0 [1/0] via 172.16.2.2
D. S 172.16.1.0 [1/0] via 172.16.2.2
10. Graphic shows output of show ip route as follows:

A# show ip route

Gateway of last resort is not set

S 10.0.0.0/8 [1/0] via 172.16.40.2

64.0.0.0/16 is subnetted, 1 subnets

C 64.100.0.0 is directly connected, Serial0/1/0

C 128.107.0.0/16 is directly connected, Loopback2

172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets

C 172.16.40.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0

C 192.168.1.0/24 is directly connected,FastEthernet0/0/0

Loopback0

Refer to the exhibit. What two commands will change the next-hop address for
the 10.0.0.0/8 network from 172.16.40.2 to 192.168.1.2? (Choose two.)

A.A(config)# no network 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 172.16.40.2

B.A(config)# no ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 172.16.40.2
C.A(config)# no ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 172.16.40.2
D.A(config)# ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 s0/0/0
E.A(config)# ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 192.168.1.2
The two required commands are A(config)# no ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
172.16.40.2 and A(config)# ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 192.168.1.2.
11. Which type of static route that is configured on a router uses only the exit
interface?
A. recursive static route
B. directly connected static route
C. fully specified static route
D. default static route
When only the exit interface is used, the route is a directly connected static route.
When the next-hop IP address is used, the route is a recursive static route. When
both are used, it is a fully specified static route.
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. A(config)# ip route 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.5.2

B. A(config)# ip route 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.2
C. A(config)# ip route 192.168.5.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.2
D. A(config)# ip route 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.1
E. A(config)# ip route 192.168.3.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.4.0
The destination network on LAN C is 192.168.4.0 and the next-hop address from
the perspective of router A is 192.168.3.2.
13. Refer to the exhibit. The network administrator needs to configure a default route
on the Border router. Which command would the administrator use to configure a
default route that will require the least amount of router processing when
forwarding packets?
 A. Border(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 198.133.219.5
B. Border(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 198.133.219.6
C. Border(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s0/0/1
D. Border(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s0/0/0
14. What two pieces of information are needed in a fully specified static route to
eliminate recursive lookups? (Choose two.)
A. the interface ID exit interface
B. the interface ID of the next-hop neighbor
C. the IP address of the next-hop neighbor
D. the administrative distance for the destination network
E. the IP address of the exit interface
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.
15. 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?

A. ipv6 route ::/0 serial0/0/0

B. ipv6 route 2001:db8:1:4::/64 2001:db8:1:3::1
C. ipv6 route 2001:db8:1:4::/64 2001:db8:1:3::2
D. ipv6 route 2001:db8:1::/65 2001:db8:1:3::1
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.
16. Refer to the exhibit. Which default static route command would allow R1 to
potentially reach all unknown networks on the Internet?

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

B. R1(config)# ipv6 route ::/0 G0/0 fe80::2
C. R1(config)# ipv6 route ::/0 G0/1 fe80::2
D. R1(config)# ipv6 route 2001:db8:32::/64 G0/1 fe80::2
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.
17. Consider the following command:
ip route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.2 5
Which route would have to go down in order for this static route to appear in the
routing table?
A. a default route
B. a static route to the 192.168.10.0/24 network
C. an OSPF-learned route to the 192.168.10.0/24 network
D. an EIGRP-learned route to the 192.168.10.0/24 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 192.168.10.0/24 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 192.168.10.0/24 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
192.168.10.0/24 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.
 18. Refer to the exhibit. The routing table for R2 is as follows:

Gateway of last resort is not set

10.0.0.0/30 is subnetted, 2 subnets

C 10.0.0.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0

C 10.0.0.4 is directly connected, Serial0/0/1

192.168.10.0/26 is subnetted, 3 subnets

S 192.168.10.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0

C 192.168.10.64 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0

S 192.168.10.128 [1/0] via 10.0.0.6

What will router R2 do with a packet destined for 192.168.10.129?

A. drop the packet
B. send the packet out interface Serial0/0/0
C. send the packet out interface Serial0/0/1
D. send the packet out interface FastEthernet0/0
When a static route is configured with the next hop address (as in the case of the
192.168.10.128 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
 10.0.0.6 is part of network 10.0.0.4, the router sends the packet out interface
Serial0/0/1.
19. A network administrator has entered a static route to an Ethernet LAN that is
connected to an adjacent router. However, the route is not shown in the routing
table. Which command would the administrator use to verify that the exit
interface is up?
A. show ip interface brief
B. show ip protocols
C. show ip route
D. tracert
The network administrator should use the show ip interface brief command to
verify that the exit interface or the interface connected to the next hop address is
up and up. The show ip route command has already been issued by the
administrator. The show ip protocols command is used when a routing protocol is
enabled. The tracert command is used from a Windows PC.
20. Consider the following command:
ip route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.2 5
How would an administrator test this configuration?
A. Delete the default gateway route on the router.
B. Ping any valid address on the 192.168.10.0/24 network.
C. Manually shut down the router interface used as a primary route.
D. Ping from the 192.168.10.0 network to the 10.10.10.2 addres
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.
21. R1 router has a serial connection to the ISP out s0/0/1. R1 router has the
10.0.30.0/24 LAN connected to G0/0. R1 has the 10.0.40.0/24 LAN connected to
G0/1. Finally, R1 has the s0/0/0 10.0.50.0/24 network shared with R2. R2 also
has the 10.0.60.0/24 LAN connected through G0/0. The following information is
below R1.

R1# show ip route

Gateway of last resort is 0.0.0.0 to network 0.0.0.0

10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 6 subnets, 7 masks

C 10.0.30.0/24 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0

L 10.0.30.254/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0

C 10.0.40.0/24 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/1

R2 has the following information below it.

R2# show ip route

Gateway of last resort is 0.0.0.0 to network 0.0.0.0

10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 4 subnets, 5 masks

C 10.0.50.0/24 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0

L 10.0.50.2/32 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0

C 10.0.60.0/24 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0

L 10.0.60.1/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0

S 0.0.0.0/0 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0

 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?

A. R2 needs a static route to the R1 LANs.

B. R1 and R2 must use a dynamic routing protocol.
C. R1 needs a default route to R2.
D. R1 needs a static route to the R2 LAN.
E. R2 needs a static route to the Internet.
R1 has a default route to the Internet. R2 has a default route to R1. R1 is missing
a static route for the 10.0.60.0 network. Any traffic that reached R1 and is
destined for 10.0.60.0/24 will be routed to the ISP.
22. Which three IOS troubleshooting commands can help to isolate problems with a
static route? (Choose three.)
A. show version
B. ping
C. tracert
D. show ip route
E. show ip interface brief
F. show arp
The ping, show ip route, and show ip interface brief commands provide
information to help troubleshoot static routes. Show version does not provide any
routing information. The tracert command is used at the Windows command
prompt and is not an IOS command. The show arp command displays learned IP
address to MAC address mappings contained in the Address Resolution Protocol
(ARP) table.
23. 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?
A. 0
B. 1
C. 32
D. 100
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.
24. 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?

A. ip route 198.133.219.24 255.255.255.252

ip route 64.100.210.80 255.255.255.252
B. ip route 198.133.219.24 255.255.255.252
ip route 64.100.210.80 255.255.255.252 10
C. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s0/0/0
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s0/1/0
D. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s0/0/0
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s0/1/0 10
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).
25. Open the PT Activity. Perform the tasks in the activity instructions and then
answer the question.
Why are the pings from PC0 to Server0 not successful?
A. The static route to network 192.168.1.0 is misconfigured on Router1.
B. The static route to network 192.168.1.0 is misconfigured on Router2.
C. The static route to network 192.168.2.0 is misconfigured on Router1.
D. The static route to network 192.168.2.0 is misconfigured on Router2.
Static routes should specify either a local interface or a next-hop IP address.
26. Open the PT Activity. Perform the tasks in the activity instructions and then
answer the question. What IPv6 static route can be configured on router R1 to
make a fully converged network?
A. ipv6 route 2001:db8:10:12::/64 S0/0/1
B. ipv6 route 2001:db8:10:12::/64 S0/0/0
C. ipv6 route 2001:db8:10:12::/64 2001:db8:10:12::1
D. ipv6 route 2001:db8:10:12::/64 2001:db8:32:77::1
To reach the remote network, R1 will need a static route with a destination IPv6
address of 2001:db8:10:12::/64 and an exit interface of S0/0/1. The correct
static route configuration will be as follows:ipv6 route 2001:db8:10:12::/64
S0/0/1.
