Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 44

Question 430

A remote /24, 10.55.11.0/24, must have a highly secondary IPv4 path through 10.9.0.1 with AD 250. Which explicit IOS route syntax preserves the precise /24 scope and distance?

  1. Use ip route 10.55.11.0 255.255.0.0 10.9.0.1 250
  2. Use ip route 10.55.11.0 255.255.255.0 10.9.0.1 1
  3. Use ip route 10.55.11.0 255.255.255.0 10.9.0.1 255
  4. ip route 10.55.11.0 255.255.255.0 10.9.0.1 250

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The explicit 250 distance makes the alternate route less preferred than ordinary dynamic paths.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A /16 is broader than the required remote /24 and may attract other unrelated destinations.

B:

AD 1 would create a preferred static, not a deliberately high-distance secondary path.

C:

AD 255 is not used as an eligible installed route; 250 provides a valid floating candidate.

Question 431

An IOS router must create an IPv4 static route for the specific 10.44.0.0/16 network via reachable router 192.0.2.2, without using an Ethernet exit interface alone. Which general command form specifies network, mask and next hop?

  1. Use ip route 10.44.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.0.2.2
  2. Use ip route 10.44.0.0 255.255.0.0 GigabitEthernet0/1 without a next hop
  3. Use ip route network mask next-hop
  4. Use ipv6 route 10.44.0.0/16 192.0.2.2

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

IOS ip route installs the specified IPv4 destination and recursive next-hop.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The /24 mask covers a different, narrower subnet rather than the stated /16 network.

B:

The question explicitly requests a fully specified adjacent gateway rather than an exit-only Ethernet static route.

D:

The IPv6 static route syntax is not valid for an IPv4 network and IPv4 gateway.

Question 432

A static route to 10.44.0.0/16 was entered with `ip route 10.44.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.0.2.2`; it is obsolete and must be deleted without altering other static routes. Which IOS command operation negates that exact entry?

  1. Use no ip route with the original route arguments
  2. Use clear ip route 10.44.0.0 to delete only the matching configuration statement
  3. Use no ip route 10.44.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.0.2.2
  4. Use no router ospf 1 to remove the static route

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The no form removes the matching static configuration.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A routing-table clear may affect learned/installed state, not remove the persistent static line from running configuration.

C:

The mask differs from the configured /16, so this does not negate the exact configured route arguments.

D:

Deleting an OSPF process is unrelated to removing one manually configured ip route command.

Question 433

An operator added a static route in running configuration but wants to determine whether it is actually installed and selected in the RIB for 10.44.0.0/16. Which operational display is the most direct evidence?

  1. Read only show running-config | include ^ip route
  2. Read only show ip interface brief for the local egress interface
  3. Read show arp to confirm the adjacent MAC without inspecting the route
  4. Run show ip route for the destination prefix

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The installed RIB reports the active path for the requested prefix.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This shows configured statements but does not prove the specific static won the RIB competition and is installed.

B:

An up interface does not prove that a static route for 10.44.0.0/16 is installed.

C:

Next-hop adjacency does not by itself prove the specific destination route was selected into the RIB.

Question 434

A team needs an inventory of every configured IPv4 static route statement, *including candidates not installed* because a competing source currently wins. Which configuration view reveals the `ip route` lines?

  1. Inspect show running-config for ip route statements
  2. Read only show ip route static and assume every configured floating route appears
  3. Read show ip cef to retrieve all configured ip route statements
  4. Use show ip ospf neighbor to list manual static route commands

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Running configuration reveals intended static statements even if not currently installed.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Only installed statics appear as active routes; a higher-AD configured alternative can be absent.

C:

The FIB displays forwarding state, not every static configuration command including inactive candidates.

D:

OSPF neighbors are unrelated to the complete configured static-route inventory.

Question 435

A static route points to 192.0.2.2 on the directly attached provider link, but it is not installing. Which reachability test of the next-hop and local connected interface is relevant before changing destination prefixes?

  1. Compare the peer’s hostname alphabetically with the route destination name
  2. Ping the directly reachable next hop or test its connected interface
  3. Change route AD to 1 without testing whether 192.0.2.2 is reachable
  4. Check only the destination prefix class while ignoring the provider link state

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

A syntactically correct static route still needs resolvable next-hop reachability.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A hostname order has no relation to next-hop IP accessibility or recursive resolution.

C:

Lowering AD does not make a missing/down next hop resolvable or its attached interface operational.

D:

The correct remote network prefix cannot install via an unreachable directly attached next hop.

Question 436

R1 already learns 0.0.0.0/0 from OSPF with administrative distance 110. The backup ISP next hop 192.0.2.9 is directly reachable. Which IOS command defines an IPv4 static default that normally stays floating until that OSPF default disappears?

  1. ip route 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.0.2.9 200
  2. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.0.2.9 1
  3. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.0.2.9 255
  4. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.0.2.9 200

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The exact default prefix has mask 0.0.0.0, a reachable backup next hop and AD 200, which is greater than OSPF's 110 but below the unusable 255 boundary.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A mask of 255.255.255.0 expresses a /24, not the universally matching 0.0.0.0/0 default route.

B:

A static default with AD 1 wins over a learned OSPF default of AD 110 while both next hops resolve, contradicting standby-only operation.

C:

Administrative distance 255 makes the route untrusted and ineligible for installation, even when the preferred route disappears.

Question 437

A router learns a valid OSPF 10.40.0.0/16 with AD 110. The engineer wants an ordinary static route to the *same* prefix via another reachable gateway to be preferred under default IOS distances. Which conventional static AD meets that requirement?

  1. Give the static an AD 200 as a floating backup and expect it to win
  2. Keep the conventional static AD of 1
  3. Give the static an AD 255 and expect it to install ahead of OSPF
  4. Keep OSPF AD 110 but choose the path with the lowest numerical next-hop IP

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Static distance 1 is lower than OSPF distance 110 for the same prefix.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Static AD 200 loses to the available OSPF AD 110 for the same prefix.

C:

A route with AD 255 is not eligible for installation by Cisco IOS.

D:

Next-hop magnitude is not the source selection criterion when the static default AD 1 is available.

Question 438

After the primary OSPF route disappears, a configured AD 200 static route should become installed. Which active-routing-table output proves that the formerly floating candidate is now in use?

  1. Look only for the static command in show running-config
  2. Inspect the active show ip route entry
  3. Use show ip ospf neighbor FULL as proof the static backup is installed
  4. Read only an ARP entry for the provider next hop

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The RIB reflects which path is currently selected for the prefix.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A configuration line does not establish that the route was selected into the active RIB after OSPF was withdrawn.

C:

OSPF neighbor state describes protocol adjacency, not whether the standby static has entered the RIB.

D:

ARP availability alone does not confirm that the AD 200 static destination is now an active installed route.

Question 439

A static entry points to an unreachable next hop and may black-hole traffic if it remains in configuration. Which corrective action deals with this invalid next-hop or the unwanted static statement?

  1. Raise the static AD to 255 but leave an obsolete command as the intended fix
  2. Enable additional VLANs on a separate switch trunk without inspecting next-hop resolution
  3. Remove or correct its route configuration and reachability
  4. Change the route destination mask at random and keep the invalid gateway

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A stale next hop can create a black-hole path and needs a valid replacement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A disabled or untrusted route entry may remain configured; the requested correction is the wrong next hop or stale statement itself.

B:

Layer 2 trunk allowance elsewhere does not repair an unreachable routed next hop.

D:

Altered prefix scope does not correct the actual unreachable next-hop condition.

Question 440

A router interface directly owns 10.10.10.0/24 and IOS installs its connected AD 0 route. Why should an engineer avoid relying on an additional higher-distance static duplicate of that same directly connected subnet?

  1. Prefer the duplicate static over the connected prefix merely because static routes are manually configured
  2. Assume the duplicate static will load-balance with a connected route regardless of different AD
  3. Delete the connected interface route while preserving its operational addressing
  4. Do not rely on a higher-distance static duplicate of the connected subnet

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Connected routes normally have AD 0 and are chosen while the interface is up.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Directly connected AD 0 is normally more preferred than static AD 1 or greater for the same prefix.

B:

Installed next-hop load balancing does not automatically combine two different preference sources for the same destination.

C:

A connected route exists by virtue of interface operational/address state and is not removed by a normal no ip route.
