Question 1
Mesa needs an IPv4 default route through next hop 192.0.2.1. Which command is correct? Choose ONE.
- ip default-gateway 192.0.2.1
- ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.0.2.1
- ipv6 route ::/0 192.0.2.1
- ip route 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0 192.0.2.1
Correct Answer: B
Correct Answer
Answer B is correct because An IPv4 default static route uses destination 0.0.0.0 with mask 0.0.0.0 and the desired next hop. For CHG-7824 at Mesa, the branch administrator checks Mesa’s protocol state; CHG-7824 is judged from the observable result at Mesa. For CHG-7824, this choice fits Mesa: the branch administrator gets the required Mesa outcome and can verify CHG-7824 directly.
Incorrect Answers
Answer D is incorrect because 255.255.255.255 is not the IPv4 default-route destination. For CHG-7824 at Mesa, the branch administrator checks Mesa’s protocol state; CHG-7824 is judged from the observable result at Mesa. For CHG-7824, this choice fails Mesa: the branch administrator leaves the required Mesa condition unmet and, under t11-pt1-q01, should reject it for chg-7824.
Answer A is incorrect because `ip default-gateway` is not the routed-device static route used when IP routing is operating. For CHG-7824 at Mesa, the branch administrator checks Mesa’s protocol state; CHG-7824 is judged from the observable result at Mesa. For CHG-7824, this choice fails Mesa: the branch administrator leaves the required Mesa condition unmet and, under t11-pt1-q01, should reject it for chg-7824.
Answer C is incorrect because That is IPv6 route syntax and cannot install an IPv4 default route. For CHG-7824 at Mesa, the branch administrator checks Mesa’s protocol state; CHG-7824 is judged from the observable result at Mesa. For CHG-7824, this choice fails Mesa: the branch administrator leaves the required Mesa condition unmet and, under t11-pt1-q01, should reject it for chg-7824.
Question 2
Pioneer needs an IPv6 default static route through 2001:db8:1::1. Which command fits? Choose ONE.

Question 6
Birch has OSPF route 10.60.0.0/16. Which static-route distance would make a backup route float behind OSPF? Choose ONE.
- 1
- 200
- 110
- 90
Correct Answer: B
Correct Answer
Answer B is correct because A static AD of 200 is less preferred than OSPF AD 110, so it becomes eligible only when the preferred OSPF route disappears. For CHG-7909 at Birch, the change reviewer checks Birch’s protocol state; CHG-7909 is judged from the observable result at Birch. For CHG-7909, this choice fits Birch: the change reviewer gets the required Birch outcome and can verify CHG-7909 directly.
Incorrect Answers
Answer A is incorrect because The normal static AD 1 would beat OSPF and become primary. For CHG-7909 at Birch, the change reviewer checks Birch’s protocol state; CHG-7909 is judged from the observable result at Birch. For CHG-7909, this choice fails Birch: the change reviewer leaves the required Birch condition unmet and, under t11-pt1-q06, should reject it for chg-7909.
Answer D is incorrect because AD 90 is still lower than 110, so the static route would be preferred.

Question 10
Nimbus intends to route 172.20.0.0/16 but configures mask 255.255.255.0. What is the main effect? Choose ONE.
- The route becomes a default route
- The route covers only 172.20.0.0/24 instead of the required /16
- The route becomes a host route
- The route automatically summarizes to /16
Correct Answer: B
Correct Answer
Answer B is correct because Mask 255.255.255.0 creates a /24, so destinations outside the first /24 do not match the intended 172.20.0.0/16 route.

Question 15
Orchid uses IPv6 link-local FE80::2 as a static next hop on an Ethernet link. What additional information is normally necessary? Choose ONE.
- The NTP source
- The DNS domain name
- The outgoing interface
- The OSPF process ID
Correct Answer: C
Correct Answer
Answer C is correct because IPv6 link-local addresses are scoped to a link, so a static route using a link-local next hop must identify the outgoing interface that provides that scope. For CHG-8062 at Orchid, the branch administrator checks Orchid’s protocol state; CHG-8062 is judged from, under t11-pt1-q15, the observable result at orchid. For CHG-8062, this choice fits Orchid: the branch administrator gets the required Orchid outcome and can verify CHG-8062 directly.

Question 19
Aspen configures two static routes to the same prefix with identical administrative distance and valid independent next hops. What can the router do? Choose ONE.
- Choose the path with the numerically smaller next-hop IP
- Always reject the second static route
- Install multiple equal-cost static paths if supported
- Convert both routes to OSPF
Correct Answer: C
Correct Answer
Answer C is correct because Equal-cost static routes to the same destination can coexist and provide load sharing when both next hops are valid and the platform permits multiple paths. For CHG-8130 at Aspen, the branch administrator checks Aspen’s protocol state; CHG-8130 is judged from, under t11-pt1-q19, the observable result at aspen. For CHG-8130, this choice fits Aspen: the branch administrator gets the required Aspen outcome and can verify CHG-8130 directly.

For CHG-8130, this choice fails Aspen: the branch administrator leaves the required Aspen condition unmet and, under t11-pt1-q19, should reject it for chg-8130.
Question 20
A Drift recursive static route uses next hop 198.51.100.9, which is reachable through a connected 198.51.100.0/24. What enables the route to forward traffic? Choose ONE.
- The routing table can resolve the next-hop address to an egress interface
- DNS learned a hostname for 198.51.100.9
- NTP synchronized the router clock
- HSRP elected 198.51.100.9 as active
Correct Answer: A
Correct Answer
Answer A is correct because The connected route supplies recursive resolution for 198.51.100.9, allowing the static destination route to determine where packets should leave. For CHG-8147 at Drift, the change reviewer checks Drift’s protocol state; CHG-8147 is judged from, under t11-pt1-q20, the observable result at drift. For CHG-8147, this choice fits Drift: the change reviewer gets the required Drift outcome and can verify CHG-8147 directly.
