IP Static Routing

Which statement best describes static routing?

It dynamically updates routing tables based on network changes.

It requires manual configuration of routes on each router.

It uses routing protocols to determine the best path.

It is used exclusively in large-scale networks.

What is the administrative distance of a static route on Cisco routers by default?

110

100

120

When configuring a static route, what does the next-hop IP address represent?

The IP address of the destination network

The IP address of the local interface

The IP address of the next router to forward packets to

The subnet mask of the destination network

Which command is used to configure a static route on a Cisco router?

Add route mask

Static route

Route add mask

Ip route

Which type of static route is used to route traffic for any destination not specified in the routing table?

Recursive static route

Floating static route

Default static route

Summary static route

What is the advantage of using a floating static route?

It has a lower administrative distance than other routes.

It is dynamically updated based on network changes.

It allows for load balancing between multiple paths.

It serves as a backup route if primary routes fail.

Which command would you use to verify the static routes configured on a Cisco router?

Ip route list

Display static routes

Show ip routes

Show route

In a static route entry, what does the term "administrative distance" refer to?

The cost of reaching the destination network

The trustworthiness of the route compared to other routes

The speed of data transmission along the route

The method used to calculate the best path

Which scenario is best suited for implementing static routing?

Networks with frequent topology changes

Small networks with a simple and predictable topology

Large-scale networks with multiple interconnected routers

Networks requiring automatic route updates

What is a disadvantage of using static routing compared to dynamic routing protocols?

Higher resource utilization on routers

Increased complexity in configuration

Slower convergence in the event of network changes

Limited scalability as the network grows

Which command adds a static route that uses an exit interface on a Cisco router?

Ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1

Ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 gigabitethernet0/1

Route add 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1

Route add 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 gigabitethernet0/1

What is a recursive static route?

A route that uses the next-hop IP address

A route that includes a backup path

A route that points to another route in the routing table

A route that directly specifies the exit interface

How can you create a floating static route on a Cisco router?

By setting a lower administrative distance than the primary route

By specifying multiple next-hop IP addresses

By setting a higher administrative distance than the primary route

By using the ` ip default-network ` command

Which command would you use to configure a default static route on a Cisco router?

Ip route 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0

Ip default-route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

Ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

Ip default-route 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0

What is the effect of the ` ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1 200 ` command?

It creates a static route with an administrative distance of 200.

It creates a floating static route with an administrative distance of 200.

It creates a static route with a cost of 200.

It creates a static route with a metric of 200.

Which command would you use to delete a static route on a Cisco router?

Clear ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1

Remove ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1

Delete ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1

No ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1

How can static routing improve security in a network?

By automatically updating routes

By reducing router processing load

By not advertising routes to other routers

By supporting route summarization

Which command displays the static routes in the routing table on a Cisco router?

Show ip static

Show ip route static

Display static routes

Show static routes

In which situation is static routing typically preferred over dynamic routing?

In large and complex networks

In networks with frequently changing topologies

In small, stable networks with predictable traffic patterns

In networks requiring automatic failover

What is the purpose of the ` ip default-network ` command in static routing?

To define a default route in the routing table

To specify a default gateway for end devices

To designate a network as the default route

To configure a floating static route
