What is the purpose of a floating static route?
- It is commonly used when a dynamic routing protocol is not being used.
- It allows connectivity to remote destinations that are not contained in the routing table.
- It allows summarization of contiguous networks.
- It allows an alternate connection to be used when the preferred link fails.
Explanation: A floating static route is a backup route with an administrative distance that is higher than a dynamically learned route or another static route. The purpose of a floating static route is to use a particular path to a destination network that is not the best route, but is used only when the preferred route is down.
