A Junos router is being configured to provide connectivity to a building across town on network 10.10.10.0/24. The next-hop router is at 10.10.1.1, reachable through interface ge-0/0/1. After committing the configuration shown in the exhibit, users still cannot reach the 10.10.10.0/24 network, and the route is not active in the routing table.

In this scenario, which statement is correct?

  • A The next-hop address 10.1.1.1 is not directly connected or reachable through another route.
  • B Static routes must include the outgoing interface as the next hop.
  • C The static route requires a preference value to be specified or it will not install.
  • D The static route requires the retain keyword to remain active in the routing table.
Explanation

The static route is configured with next-hop 10.1.1.1, but the reachable next-hop router is 10.10.1.1. A Junos static route is activated only when its specified next-hop address is reachable. Static routes have a default preference of 5 and can use a next-hop IP address without explicitly specifying an outgoing interface.
