NSE 7 – Network Security Technologies 7.2 — Question 3

Which two conditions would prevent a static route from being added to the routing table? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The next-hop IP address is unreachable.
• B. The interface specified in the route configuration is down.
• C. The route has a lower priority value than another route to the same destination.
• D. There is another other route to the same destination, with a lower distance.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

A static route will not be added if the interface mentioned in the configuration is down (B), as the route cannot be operational. Additionally, if there is another route to the same destination with a lower distance (D), that route will take precedence, preventing the static route from being added.
