Question 450
After removing the remote IPv6 service 2001:db8:90::/64, a router must delete only its configuration `ipv6 route 2001:db8:90::/64 2001:db8:1::2`. Which command performs the exact deletion?
- no ipv6 route 2001:db8:90::/64 2001:db8:1::2
- clear ipv6 route *
- no ipv6 unicast-routing
- no ipv6 route ::/0 2001:db8:1::2
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:The no form with the original remote prefix and next hop removes just that route definition from running configuration.
Incorrect Answers
B:Clearing routing state does not remove the specifically configured static route and can disrupt other learned entries.
C:Disabling IPv6 routing affects the entire device and is unnecessary to remove a single obsolete static entry.
D:Deleting a default route is a different operation and would leave the obsolete /64 configured.
Question 451
An IPv6 router cannot reach remote 2001:db8:100::/56 and no OSPFv3 is enabled; a valid reachable next hop is available. Which static route action should target *that exact /56* rather than ::/0 or one /64?
- Configure ipv6 route 2001:db8:100::/56 with valid next hop
- Use ipv6 route ::/0 via the same next hop as a substitute
- Use ipv6 route 2001:db8:100::/64 via the next hop
- Use ipv6 route 2001:db8:100::/48 via the next hop
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:A static IPv6 route can target a site prefix without enabling a dynamic protocol.
Incorrect Answers
B:A default route is much broader and would affect unrelated IPv6 destinations, not the required /56 only.
C:A /64 covers only one portion of the /56 and omits the other /64 networks in the intended block.
D:A /48 includes many destinations outside the requested /56 and is not the exact remote prefix.
Question 452
A Cisco IOS XE release does not permit a recursive static IPv6 next hop to be resolved through the installed ::/0 route by default. An operator explicitly needs the documented legacy default-route recursion behavior. Which global command enables it?
- ipv6 route static resolve default
- ipv6 nd ra suppress all
- ipv6 route ::/0 Null0
- ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Null0
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Cisco documents `ipv6 route static resolve default` as the control to allow recursive static IPv6 next hops to resolve using ::/0 when that legacy behavior is deliberately required.
Incorrect Answers
B:Suppressing router advertisements affects IPv6 host discovery and does not change route-recursion through ::/0.
C:Installing a Null0 default blackholes unknown IPv6 destinations; it does not enable the recursive next-hop lookup behavior.
D:The IPv4 default route changes only the IPv4 RIB, not how a recursive IPv6 static route resolves through an IPv6 default.
Question 453
The router currently forwards 2001:db8:50::/64 through ISP A. A maintenance exception requires only host 2001:db8:50::99 to use reachable ISP B next hop 2001:db8:2::2, leaving other hosts on ISP A. What most-specific route should be added?
- ipv6 route 2001:db8:50::99/128 2001:db8:2::2
- ipv6 route 2001:db8:50::/64 2001:db8:2::2
- ipv6 route ::/0 2001:db8:2::2
- ipv6 route 2001:db8:50::99/64 2001:db8:2::2
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:A /128 route matches only the one named IPv6 host; longest-prefix matching directs it over ISP B while retaining /64 forwarding for others.
Incorrect Answers
B:Replacing or competing for the entire /64 would affect all hosts in that subnet, contrary to the single-host exception.
C:A /0 default changes forwarding for otherwise unmatched IPv6 destinations and is not scoped to this host.
D:The prefix /64 applied to a non-network host address does not represent a host-specific IPv6 route; /128 is needed.
Question 454
An IPv6 static route to 2001:db8:90::/64 uses next hop fe80::a on GigabitEthernet0/0. The route is configured, but the engineer needs to check whether Neighbor Discovery has an L2 mapping for that scoped peer. Which IOS output is the relevant next check?
- show ipv6 neighbors GigabitEthernet0/0
- show ip arp GigabitEthernet0/0
- show running-config | include ^ip route
- show spanning-tree vlan 1
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:The IPv6 neighbor cache reports ND reachability and link-layer address information for peers on the selected IPv6 interface, including scoped fe80 neighbors.
Incorrect Answers
B:The IPv4 ARP table serves IPv4 neighbors, not the ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery resolution required for fe80::a.
C:An IPv4 static route configuration filter will not reveal IPv6 neighbor-cache reachability or the scoped peer link-layer mapping.
D:Spanning Tree status shows Layer 2 topology roles, not the IPv6 neighbor binding for a specific link-local next hop.
Question 455
OSPFv3 has a preferred 2001:db8:200::/64 with AD 110. The engineer wants a static IPv6 route for the **same /64** as a standby only. How should its administrative distance be set?
- Configure the static IPv6 route with an AD higher than 110 but lower than 255
- Assign the IPv6 static an AD 1 and expect OSPF AD 110 to stay primary
- Use AD 110 equal to OSPF and assume guaranteed passive standby behavior
- Use AD 255 and expect it to install when OSPF fails
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:For an identical prefix, a valid higher AD (for example 200) keeps the static inactive while OSPF AD 110 is installed and allows it to become eligible when the primary is removed and next-hop resolution works.
Incorrect Answers
B:With both eligible for the same /64, the lower AD 1 static would displace the OSPF primary.
C:Equal preference does not provide a deliberate higher-distance floating backup hierarchy.
D:On Cisco, AD 255 is not eligible for route installation, so it cannot be used as a functioning backup.
Question 456
A Cisco IOS router has a configured static IPv4 route to 10.10.0.0/16 with administrative distance 255. Its next hop is otherwise reachable. What should the administrator expect from this route in the normal IPv4 routing table?
- It is not installed because administrative distance 255 means the source is treated as unusable
- It is installed with the same preference as a directly connected route
- It wins over an OSPF route at administrative distance 110 because 255 is larger
- It is installed as an automatic default route to 0.0.0.0/0
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Cisco administrative distance 255 is treated as an unreliable route source, so the route is not installed in the IPv4 RIB despite next-hop reachability.
Incorrect Answers
B:Connected routes normally have administrative distance zero, and 255 does not give static routes the preference of connected routes.
C:When comparing same-prefix eligible routes, smaller AD is preferred; 255 is not eligible rather than a better preference.
D:Specifying a /16 static route does not turn it into the IPv4 default prefix; a /0 route is separately required for a default.
Question 457
A router advertises the aggregate 10.88.0.0/16 while more-specific connected and learned routes serve actual customer networks inside it. To prevent traffic for nonexistent /16 subnets from looping outward, which aggregate safety route can be configured with a less specific match than the real routes?
- ip route 10.88.0.0 255.255.0.0 Null0
- ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Null0
- ip route 10.88.0.0 255.255.255.0 Null0
- ip route 10.88.0.0 255.255.0.0 GigabitEthernet0/0
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:A /16 static Null0 discard catches unallocated destinations in the aggregate, while installed longer-prefix routes forward valid subnets ahead of it.
Incorrect Answers
B:A Null0 default applies to every otherwise unmatched IPv4 destination, far outside the requested customer aggregate.
C:A /24 discard covers just 10.88.0.0/24 and leaves many unallocated /16 destinations without the intended discard safety net.
D:An Ethernet interface-only route forwards toward the link and may trigger ARP rather than deliberately discard unknown aggregate destinations.
Question 458
A CE router has a default route to ISP A. It must instead route exactly the customer subnet 10.60.8.0/21 via ISP B next hop 192.0.2.5, without covering adjacent 10.60.16.0/21. Which IPv4 static route is the narrowest correct match?
- ip route 10.60.8.0 255.255.248.0 192.0.2.5
- ip route 10.60.8.0 255.255.240.0 192.0.2.5
- ip route 10.60.8.0 255.255.255.0 192.0.2.5
- ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.0.2.5
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:A /21 mask (255.255.248.0) covers the aligned third octets 8 through 15 and does not include adjacent 16 through 23.
Incorrect Answers
B:The /20 mask is too broad for this allocation, and 10.60.8.0 is not an aligned /20 prefix boundary.
C:A /24 includes only third-octet 8 and fails to cover the remainder of the specified /21 subnet.
D:A default route is not limited to the customer subnet and would alter unrelated Internet forwarding.
Question 459
An IPv6 static route is configured but not installed because the next-hop cannot be resolved by any legitimate connected or recursive path. Which verification addresses the actual cause instead of changing an unrelated ACL?
- Change a security ACL that has no relation to the static next-hop recursion failure
- Lower the static route administrative distance without checking whether its next hop can resolve
- Add a more general default route to mask the failed next hop without validating reachability
- Confirm next-hop reachability and route recursion
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Static forwarding still depends on a valid resolved egress adjacency.
Incorrect Answers
A:Traffic filtering and the route’s eligibility to install are different stages; the indicated failure is unresolved next-hop reachability.
B:AD only ranks eligible sources; a route whose next hop cannot be resolved still cannot install correctly.
C:A fallback prefix may change forwarding but does not diagnose the configured route’s recursion failure.
Question 460
A router has a primary route to 10.40.0.0/16 and a separate static backup via ISP B; the backup must become inactive again when the primary recovers. Which relative distance arrangement ensures this preference?
- Give the backup static a lower AD than the primary dynamic source
- Make the two same-prefix routes the same AD and assume automatic preferred restoration
- Configure the fallback with higher AD than primary
- Give the backup route AD 255 so it always installs last
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:The primary source automatically wins same-prefix selection when available.
Incorrect Answers
A:The static would win while both are available, contrary to remaining inactive when the primary recovers.
B:Equal AD does not establish an unambiguous primary/standby preference.
D:AD 255 is not an eligible installed route and cannot provide the intended failover.
