Which three conditions would prevent a static route from being used by the kernel to route traffic? (Choose three.)

Question

Options

• AThe interface specified in the route configuration is down.
• BThere is another route to the same destination, with a higher distance.
• CThe route has a lower metric than another route to the same destination.
• DThe next-hop IP address is unreachable and health monitor is configured.
• EThere is another route to the same destination, with a lower distance.

• A
  83% (25)
• B
  7% (2)
• C
  10% (3)

Explanation

The interface specified in the route configuration is down. If the egress interface is down (administratively or operationally), the kernel will mark the route inactive and won't use it. The next-hop IP address is unreachable and health monitor is configured. When a route's gateway fails its configured health check, the static route is suppressed until the monitor detects it as reachable again. There is another route to the same destination, with a lower distance. The kernel always prefers the route with the lowest administrative distance; any static route with a higher distance to an identical prefix is ignored.
