ICND1: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (CCENT, legacy) — Question 17

Which definition of a host route is true?

Answer options

• A. A route that is manually configured
• B. A route used when a destination route is missing.
• C. A route to the exact /32 destination address
• D. Dynamic route learned from the server.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a host route is specifically used when there is no defined route for a destination, allowing for direct traffic to the specified destination. Option A is incorrect as a host route can be configured automatically, not just manually. Option C is misleading since while a host route points to a specific address, it is not exclusively defined by that characteristic. Option D is incorrect because host routes are not dynamic and are not learned from a server.
