15.6.3 What did I learn in this module?

Static Routes

Static routes can be configured for IPv4 and IPv6. Both protocols support the following types of
static routes: standard static route, default static route, floating static route, and summary static
route. Static routes are configured using the ip route and ipv6 route global configuration
commands. When configuring a static route, the next hop can be identified by an IP address,
exit interface, or both. How the destination is specified creates one of the three following types

https://www.netacad.com/launch?id=9572256d-2453-42e4-a3a5-bddf7a3fdb87&tab=curriculum&view=a9e47d8e-0312-5df1-a3d5-974df2141b8a 3/17
10/30/24, 11:53 PM Module 15: IP Static Routing | 15.6. Module Practice and Quiz

of static route: next-hop, directly connected, and fully specified. IPv4 static routes are
configured using the following global configuration command: ip route network-address subnet-
mask { ip-address | exit-intf [ip=address] } [distance]. IPv6 static routes are configured using
the following global configuration command: ipv6 route ipv6-prefix/prefix-length { ipv6-address
| exit-intf [ipv6-address]} [distance]. The command to start an IPv4 routing table is show ip
route | begin Gateway. The command to start an IPv6 routing table is show ipv6 route |
begin C.

Configure IP Static Routes

In a next-hop static route, only the next-hop IP address is specified. The exit interface is derived
from the next hop. When configuring a static route, another option is to use the exit interface to
specify the next-hop address. Directly connected static routes should only be used with point-
to-point serial interfaces. In a fully specified static route, both the exit interface and the next-hop
IP address are specified. This form of static route is used when the exit interface is a multi-
access interface and it is necessary to explicitly identify the next hop. The next hop must be
directly connected to the specified exit interface. In a fully specified IPv6 static route, both the
exit interface and the next-hop IPv6 address are specified. Along with show ip route, show
ipv6 route, ping and traceroute, other useful commands to verify static routes include: show
ip route static, show ip route network, and show running-config | section ip route. Replace
ip with ipv6 for the IPv6 versions of the command.

Configure IP Default Static Routes

A default route is a static route that matches all packets. A default route does not require any
far-left bits to match between the default route and the destination IP address. Default static
routes are commonly used when connecting an edge router to a service provider network, and
a stub router. The command syntax for an IPv4 default static route is similar to any other IPv4
static route, except that the network address is 0.0.0.0 and the subnet mask is 0.0.0.0. The
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 in the route will match any network address. The command syntax for an IPv6
default static route is similar to any other IPv6 static route, except that the ipv6-prefix/prefix-
length is ::/0, which matches all routes. To verify an IPv4 default static route, use the show ip
route static command. For IPV6 use the show ipv6 route static command.

Configure Floating Static Routes

Floating static routes are static routes that are used to provide a backup path to a primary static
or dynamic route in the event of a link failure. The floating static route is configured with a
higher administrative distance than the primary route. By default, static routes have an
administrative distance of 1, making them preferable to routes learned from dynamic routing
protocols. The administrative distances of some common interior gateway dynamic routing
protocols are EIGRP = 90, OSPF = 110, and IS-IS = 115. IP floating static routes are configured

https://www.netacad.com/launch?id=9572256d-2453-42e4-a3a5-bddf7a3fdb87&tab=curriculum&view=a9e47d8e-0312-5df1-a3d5-974df2141b8a 4/17
10/30/24, 11:53 PM Module 15: IP Static Routing | 15.6. Module Practice and Quiz

by using the distance argument to specify an administrative distance. If no administrative

distance is configured, the default value (1) is used. The show ip route and show ipv6 route
output verifies that the default routes to a router are installed in the routing table.

Configure Static Host Routes

A host route is an IPv4 address with a 32-bit mask or an IPv6 address with a 128-bit mask.
There are three ways a host route can be added to the routing table: automatically installed
when an IP address is configured on the router, configured as a static host route, or
automatically obtained through other methods not covered in this module. Cisco IOS
automatically installs a host route, also known as a local host route, when an interface address
is configured on the router. A host route can be a manually configured static route to direct
traffic to a specific destination device. For IPv6 static routes, the next-hop address can be the
link-local address of the adjacent router; however, you must specify an interface type and an
interface number when using a link-local address as the next hop. To do this, the original IPv6
static host route is removed, then a fully specified route is configured with the IPv6 address of
the server and the IPv6 link-local address of the ISP router.

Question 1

A network administrator configures a router by the command ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

209.165.200.226. What is the purpose of this command?

To forward all packets to the device with IP address 209.165.200.226

To add a dynamic route for the destination network 0.0.0.0 to the routing
table

To forward packets destined for the network 0.0.0.0 to the device with IP
address 209.165.200.226

Question 3

A network administrator uses the command ip route 172.18.0.0 255.255.0.0 S0/0/1 to

configure a floating static route on a router. That route will function as a backup route to reach
the EIGRP learned network 172.18.0.0/16. After this configuration, the EIGRP route is removed
from the routing table even though EIGRP is still functioning properly. Why is the static route
not functioning as intended?

The next hop neighbor IP address is not configured.

done The administrative distance value is not high enough on the static route. signal_cellular_4_bar
