NSE7 Exam - Question 36


Which of the following conditions must be met for a static route to be active in the routing table? (Choose three.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: ABCDE

For a static route to be active in the routing table, several conditions must be satisfied. First, the link health monitor (if configured) must be up. This ensures that the route is properly monitored and can be trusted. Additionally, the next-hop IP address should fall within one of the outgoing interface subnets; this ensures proper routing path configuration. Lastly, the outgoing interface itself must be operational and up to facilitate traffic flow through the route.

C, D and E is correct

Tested in lab: D is wrong, it is still installed in active routing table. A is wrong, I added a route with a dummy IP that is not up and the route was installed. Answer is C and E according to official documentation from Fortinet. I'm guessing this should be a 2 answer question.

CDE. The distance has to be lower, not higher.

A makes no sense & B - lower, not higher. So it must be C,D,E!

"A" makes perfect common sense, it means your next-hop must be UP & reachable. How can you pass traffic upstream to a neighbor that's not UP? You will blackhole your traffic....brother.

That's not the question. The route is active regardless of the next hop status (except you are using the link monitor [C]). And it is not a black hole route, because there is no next hop to be resolved by ARP. - lummi

Higher distance is less referred...Let's remember the basics. First user E as your premise, then A & C fall perfectly into place.

the correct answer is A and C, it is not mandatory that next hop address would be the IP address of the outgoing interface and routes with lower distance and lower priorities are preferred

Recording to the answers it must be C,D,E

Question is asking how to get the route into the routing table, not how to actually route traffic to it, thus A is incorrect. B is obviously wrong (should be lower) which leaves us CDE.
