QuestionQ145

Layer 3 Technologies

Refer to the exhibit. An engineer configures a static route on a router, but when the engineer checks the route to the destination, a different next hop is selected.

What is the reason for this?

  • A Dynamic routing protocols always have priority over static routes.
  • B The metric of the OSPF route is lower than the metric of the static route.
  • C The configured AD for the static route is higher than the AD of OSPF.
  • D The syntax of the static route is not valid, so the route is not considered.
Explanation

The static route has a configured administrative distance of 130, which is higher than OSPF's administrative distance of 110. For routes to the same prefix, the route with the lower administrative distance is preferred and installed in the routing table; therefore, the OSPF route is selected.
