Can a static route have a next hop address?
Configure a static route on R1 where the next hop cannot be recursive to another static route. Cisco recommends that you configure both the outbound interface and the next hop address for a static route.
Why is my static route still in the routing table?
The floating static route is not installed on R1 and the primary static route is still in the routing table for R1, even though the serial port 1/0 link is shut down. This occurs because static routes are recursive in nature. You always keep the static route in the routing table as long as you have a route to the next hop.
Can a static router perform ARP for each destination address?
Therefore, this kind of static route is not recommended. When you specify the next hop address on a directly connected interface, the router does not perform ARP for each destination address. An example is ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Ethernet0 192.168.1.1.
Are there two static routes to the same destination?
There are two static routes to the same destination (172.31.10.0/24) on R1. One route is the regular static route and another route is a floating static route, which is the backup, or redundant path to the destination network on the LAN.
Which is the default route for the next hop 200?
The default route with the next hop 200.1.1.2 allows the switch to forward traffic to the gateway of last resort (for traffic the switch cannot route). show ip interface brief – Lists a brief summary of an interface’s IP information and status. This command is used to verify that the VLAN interfaces and ports on the switch are up/up.
How is the next hop determined in IPv4?
When routing traffic, the next hop is decided on according to the longest prefix match (LPM) algorithm. A destination IPv4 address may match multiple routes in the IPv4 Static Route Table.
How to configure IPv4 static routes through the CLI?
This article provides instructions on how to configure IPv4 static routes on the switch through the Command Line Interface (CLI). Static routing refers to the configuration of the path selection of routers.
When to specify outbound interface and next hop IP address?
Cisco highly recommends that you specify the outbound interface and the next hop IP address when you configure static routes. When the outbound interface is a point-to-point type of link (for example, a serial link), the specification of the next hop address is not needed.
