A static route is configured for a FortiGate unit from the CLI using the following commands: config router static edit 1 set device "wan1" set distance 20 set gateway 192.168.100.1 next end Which of…

If the administrative status of the wan1 interface is down, the static route will not be considered valid or active and will not appear in the routing table.

For any route to be considered valid and active in the routing table, its associated outgoing interface must have its link status displayed as up, indicating physical connectivity.

While a lower distance value makes a route preferred, the specified distance of 20 itself does not prevent the route from being displayed in the routing table, provided its interface is up and the gateway is reachable; it only affects its selection priority compared to other routes.

The FortiGate's interface IP address and the configured next-hop gateway IP address must reside on the same IP subnet for the FortiGate to directly reach the gateway and establish the route's validity.
