Question:
What is a characteristic of a static route that creates a gateway of last resort?
- It backs up a route already discovered by a dynamic routing protocol.
- It uses a single network address to send multiple static routes to one destination address.
- It identifies the gateway IP address to which the router sends all IP packets for which it does not have a learned or static route
- It is configured with a higher administrative distance than the original dynamic routing protocol has.
Explanation: A default static route is a route that matches all packets. It identifies the gateway IP address to which the router sends all IP packets for which it does not have a learned or static route. A default static route is simply a static route with 0.0.0.0/0 as the destination IPv4 address. Configuring a default static route creates a gateway of last resort.
