What is recursive static route?
A recursive static route relies on the next hop router in order for packets to be
sent to its destination. A recursive static route requires two routing table lookups.
b. Why does a recursive static route require two routing table lookups?
It must first look in the routing table for the destination network and then look up
the exit interface/direction of the network for the next hop router.
How does a directly attached static route differ from a recursive static route?
A directly attached static route relies on its exit interface in order for packets to
be sent to its destination, while a recursive static route uses the IP address of the
next hop router.
How does a default route differ from a regular static route?
A default route, also known as the gateway of last resort, is the network route
used by a router when no other known route exists for a destination network. A
static route is used to route traffic to a specific network
Explain a fully specified route.
A fully specified route is a static route that is configured with an exit interface and
the next hop address
What command is used to trace a path from a PC to a destination?tracert
What is the administrative distance of a static route?
0 for directly attached and 1 for recursive
Is the IPv4 floating static route visible in the routing table? Explain
No. It is not being displayed because it is not the primary route. Routers will
only place the best path in the routing table and because this is the backup
route, it will only be visible in the routing table when the primary route goes
down.
