Types of Static Routes
Why exit interface is recommended in static route commands?
No recursive route look up. Effcient.
Why should the routing table have less entries?
Searching time will be reduced
When do we use both exit interface and next hop IP address?
In multi access networks
Why does static routes always have the cost or metric as zero?
Cost are not calculated as it is fixed.
In multi access network, static routes are configured with just exit interface, will it work?
No, the destination Mac Address cannot be derived.
What does AD refer to, and why do we need it?
Administrative Distance. It tells the router the trustworthiness of the route source. So that it is easier for the router to choose the best path or route.
In multi access network, static routes are configured with next hop IP address, will it work?
Yes, but it will cause recursive route look up.
In which cases or topologies summarizing routes are not recommended?
When there are discontiguous networks.
Which type of route is commonly used with border routers to connect to the ISP network?
Default Route
When we use exit interface, the static route in the routing table will be shown as ........
S 192.168.10.0/24 is directly connected, Serial 0/0/0
Why do we change the AD for a floating route?
Otherwise, the same route for one destination will create confusion for the router. It has to choose one static route.
