14. What happens to a static route entry in a routing table when the outgoing interface is not
available?
The route is removed from the table.
The router polls neighbors for a replacement route.
The route remains in the table because it was defined as static.
The router redirects the static route to compensate for the loss of the next hop device.
15. A router has one static route to each destination network. Which two scenarios would require
an administrator to alter the static routes that are configured on that router? (Choose two.)
The destination network no longer exists.
The destination network is moved to a different interface on the same router.
The path between the source and destination is upgraded with a higher bandwidth link.
A topology change occurs where the existing next-hop address or exit interface is not accessible.
The remote destination network interface has to be down for 15 minutes of maintenance.
16. Why is it advisable to enter a next-hop IP address when creating a static route whose exit
interface is an Ethernet network?
Adding the next-hop address eliminates the need for the router to do any lookups in the routing
table before forwarding a packet.
In a multi-access network, the router cannot determine the next-hop MAC address for the
Ethernet frame without a next-hop address.
Using a next-hop address in a static route provides a route with a lower metric.
In multi-access networks, using a next-hop address in a static route makes that route a candidate
default route.

R 209.165.201.0/24 [120/2] via 192.168.252.2, 00:00:16, S0/0/0
What can be concluded from this output?
A packet destined for host 192.168.252.2 will be forwarded out the interface connected to
network 209.165.201.0/24.
The value, 120, is used to determine the best path when a router has more than one routing

The 172.16.3.0 network will be routed by any dynamic routing protocol automatically.
A routing table entry is made to the 172.16.3.0 network with a code of “C”.
A static route is required to route traffic to the 172.16.3.0 network.
