Question

If router R1 knows a static route to a destination network and then learns about the same destination network through a dynamic routing protocol, how does R1 respond?

Options

  • AIt refuses to advertise the dynamic route to other neighbors
  • BIt sends a withdrawal signal to the neighboring router
  • CIt disables the routing protocol
  • DIt prefers the static route

Explanation

By default the administrative distance of a static route is 1, meaning it will be preferred over all dynamic routing protocols. If you want to have the dynamic routing protocol used and have the static route be used only as a backup, you need to increase the AD of the static route so that it is higher than the dynamic routing protocol.
