Question:
What happens to a static route entry in a routing table when the outgoing interface associated with that route goes into the down state?

• The static route is removed from the routing table.
• The router polls neighbors for a replacement route.
• The router automatically redirects the static route to use another interface.
• The static route remains in the table because it was defined as static.

Explanation: When the interface associated with a static route goes down, the router will remove the route because it is no longer valid.
