CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 740

An engineer must configure a core router with a floating static default route to the backup router at 10.200.0.2. Which command meets the requirements?

Answer options

• A. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.200.0.2 1
• B. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.200.0.2 10
• C. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.200.0.2
• D. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.200.0.2 floating

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it specifies a metric of 10, making the route a floating static route that will only be used if lower-priority routes are not available. Option A uses a metric of 1, which is not floating, while options C and D do not specify a metric, making them regular static routes.
