Which statement is true concerning configuring static routes using next-hop addresses?

• Routers cannot use more than one static route with a next-hop address.
• When the router identifies that a packet is destined for a route associated with a nexthop address in the routing table, the router requires no further information and can immediately forward the packet.
• Routers configured with the static route using a next-hop address must either have the exit interface listed in the route or have another route with the network of the next hop and an associated exit interface.
• Routes associated with a next-hop address are more efficient than routes going to exit interfaces.

Explanation: All routes in the routing table must be resolved to an exit interface in the routing table. If a route has only a next-hop IP address, that next-hop address must eventually be resolved to another route in the routing table that does include an exit interface, such as a directly connected network. Some static routes, such as those with Ethernet exit interfaces, can include both an exit interface and a next-hop IP address.
