NSE 7 – Network Security Architect — Question 14

Which of the following conditions must be met for a static route to be active in the routing table? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. The next-hop IP address is up.
• B. There is no other route, to the same destination, with a higher distance.
• C. The link health monitor (if configured) is up.
• D. The next-hop IP address belongs to one of the outgoing interface subnets.
• E. The outgoing interface is up.

Correct answer: C, D, E

Explanation

For a static route to be active, the outgoing interface must be operational (E), the next-hop IP address must belong to the outgoing interface's subnet (D), and if a link health monitor is configured, it must also be operational (C). Options A and B are incorrect because they do not directly influence whether the static route is active in the routing table.
