SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 271

An engineer must implement static route tracking on Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense and reroute traffic by using a backup path if the primary path fails. The engineer already defined the primary static route, and the primary path is already monitored. Which action must the engineer take to meet the requirement?

Answer options

• A. Establish an IP SLA ICMP echo request.
• B. Configure a tracking object for the static route
• C. Assign a unique tracking ID to the static route
• D. Configure a secondary static route that has higher precedence

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because creating a secondary static route with higher precedence allows for rerouting traffic when the primary route fails. Option A is incorrect as establishing an IP SLA ICMP echo request does not directly reroute traffic. Option B is not sufficient alone without a backup route, and option C does not influence the routing decision.
