At a school district, the security and networking lead is setting a Cisco routed edge to forward unmatched IPv4 traffic to ISP next hop 10.163.185.1. Which global configuration creates the required default route?
This defines an IPv4 default static route /0 to next hop 10.163.185.1. It is used when more-specific installed routes do not match the destination.
This adds a host-specific mask /32 for 0.0.0.0 rather than a true catch-all /0 route.
255.255.255.255 is not the destination network ID for a /0 default route. The mask and destination are not paired correctly.
The mask 255.0.0.0 does not define /0; it matches only a restricted prefix beginning at 0.0.0.0. A genuine default has a zero mask, matching every otherwise-unrouted IPv4 destination.
At a payment processor, the infrastructure lead requires a static route to IPv4 network 172.23.116.0/26 through adjacent router 10.87.108.1. Which IOS command configures the intended route?
The static network route uses destination 172.23.116.0 with mask 255.255.255.192 (/26) and next hop 10.87.108.1. The route matches the intended subnet.
A zero mask is a default-length /0 entry, not the specific 26-bit destination route.
A /32 mask would make the route host-specific and omit most of the intended /26 range.
This reverses the destination and next-hop positions; 10.87.108.1 is a gateway, not the announced subnet.
At a regional office, the branch support lead wants a static IPv4 path for one server 203.0.113.229, not the full /24, through 10.120.66.1. Which command meets this?
A /32 host route matches exactly destination 203.0.113.229 and forwards it to next hop 10.120.66.1. This is the most specific IPv4 static route type.
A /24 route covers a much larger destination block and does not enforce the single-host requirement for 203.0.113.229.
The destination and next-hop roles are reversed here, incorrectly routing toward 10.120.66.1 as the target host.
A default route changes fallback forwarding for all unmatched destinations; 203.0.113.229 was required as a specific target.
At a supply depot, an implementation partner uses OSPF (AD 110) as the primary path to 172.22.207.0/24. A static backup via 10.64.111.1 must activate only after OSPF disappears. Which command achieves that?
A floating static route uses higher administrative distance 180 so it stays out of the RIB while the preferred OSPF route (AD 110) is available. It can take over on failure.
AD 0 behaves as an even more preferred route and does not supply a floating backup.
AD 1 makes this static route preferred over OSPF; it would not float behind the learned route.
AD 5 is still lower than OSPF 110, so the static route would normally supersede the primary.
At a regional hospital, an implementation partner needs a static IPv6 route to 2001:db8:26::/48 via IPv6 next hop 2001:db8:26:ffff::1. Which IOS syntax represents this network route?
ipv6 route specifies a static IPv6 destination 2001:db8:26::/48 and IPv6 next hop 2001:db8:26:ffff::1. IPv6 routing must also be enabled appropriately.
The IPv4 ip route parser is not used for an IPv6 prefix and IPv6 next-hop address.
::/0 defines the IPv6 default route and is broader than this single /48 destination.
0.0.0.0 is an IPv4 address and cannot serve directly as an IPv6 next-hop literal.
At a field-service firm, an implementation partner has upstream IPv6 next hop 2001:db8:feed::1 on GigabitEthernet0/2 and needs a gateway of last resort for IPv6. Which static route is appropriate?
IPv6 default ::/0 permits forwarding to any unmatched IPv6 destination, and an interface plus next hop can disambiguate link-local/adjacent delivery as needed.
This defines an IPv4 default route, not an IPv6 default route.
ff00::/8 is multicast space, not the ordinary default unicast route.
A /64 network route is specific to that destination; it does not act as an IPv6 catch-all.
A router needs a static route to exactly one IPv6 server 2001:db8:7::15 through a reachable global IPv6 next hop 2001:db8:1::2. Which route limits forwarding scope to that host?
A /128 IPv6 prefix matches the exact host address and the route's global next hop is reachable as stated.
The /64 covers the server's entire subnet instead of the one host required.
The default /0 would match all unmatched IPv6 destinations, an unnecessarily broad route.
`ip route` is IPv4 syntax and cannot be used with an IPv6 address and IPv4 dotted mask.
At a clinic, the site engineer is setting a Cisco routed edge to forward unmatched IPv4 traffic to ISP next hop 10.163.174.1. Which global configuration creates the required default route?
This defines an IPv4 default static route /0 to next hop 10.163.174.1. It is used when more-specific installed routes do not match the destination.
The mask 255.255.0.0 does not define /0; it matches only a restricted prefix beginning at 0.0.0.0. A genuine default has a zero mask, matching every otherwise-unrouted IPv4 destination.
255.255.255.255 is not the destination network ID for a /0 default route. The mask and destination are not paired correctly.
This adds a host-specific mask /32 for 0.0.0.0 rather than a true catch-all /0 route.
At a media studio, the branch support lead requires a static route to IPv4 network 172.23.148.0/24 through adjacent router 10.29.9.1. Which IOS command configures the intended route?
The static network route uses destination 172.23.148.0 with mask 255.255.255.0 (/24) and next hop 10.29.9.1. The route matches the intended subnet.
This reverses the destination and next-hop positions; 10.29.9.1 is a gateway, not the announced subnet.
A zero mask is a default-length /0 entry, not the specific 24-bit destination route.
A /32 mask would make the route host-specific and omit most of the intended /24 range.
A branch learns 172.20.40.0/24 through single-area OSPF (AD 110). An engineer needs an IPv4 static backup via 192.0.2.9 that is not selected while OSPF is installed. Which command is suitable?
The trailing 200 gives this same-prefix static route a higher AD than OSPF's 110, so it can float until the OSPF route disappears and the next hop is reachable.
AD 1 would make the static route preferred over OSPF for the same prefix, defeating the backup-only requirement.
The ordinary default static AD is 1, so omitting an AD would normally override OSPF rather than float behind it.
A default /0 route is not the specified backup for only 172.20.40.0/24; it could change unrelated traffic forwarding.
At a municipal utility, the infrastructure lead uses OSPF (AD 110) as the primary path to 172.23.137.0/24. A static backup via 10.121.214.1 must activate only after OSPF disappears. Which command achieves that?
A floating static route uses higher administrative distance 200 so it stays out of the RIB while the preferred OSPF route (AD 110) is available. It can take over on failure.
AD 1 makes this static route preferred over OSPF; it would not float behind the learned route.
AD 5 is still lower than OSPF 110, so the static route would normally supersede the primary.
AD 0 behaves as an even more preferred route and does not supply a floating backup.
