176A network engineer is troubleshooting OSPFv3 adjacency between two directly connected Cisco routers, R1 and R2, both running IOS-XE. The engineer configures OSPFv3 on both routers but notices that the adjacency does not form. The engineer runs 'show ospfv3 neighbor' on R1 and sees no neighbors. What is the most likely cause of this issue?
177An engineer is troubleshooting an OSPFv3 adjacency issue between two routers R1 and R2 connected over a serial link. The link is up/up on both sides, and IPv6 is enabled on the interfaces. However, the 'show ipv6 ospf neighbor' command shows no neighbors. The engineer checks the OSPFv3 configuration. What is the most likely cause of the missing adjacency?
178A network engineer is troubleshooting an OSPFv3 adjacency issue between two directly connected routers. Both routers are configured for OSPFv3 in area 0 on their GigabitEthernet0/0 interfaces. The engineer checks the OSPFv3 neighbor status on R1 and sees that the neighbor state is stuck in EXSTART. The engineer verifies that both interfaces are up and have IPv6 link-local addresses. What is the most likely cause of this problem?
179Which TWO statements correctly describe the configuration and verification of OSPFv3 for IPv6?
180Drag and drop the OSPFv3 commands/terms on the left to the correct descriptions on the right.
181An engineer is troubleshooting a first-hop redundancy issue on a subnet where two routers, R1 and R2, are configured with HSRP. Hosts on the VLAN are intermittently losing connectivity to the default gateway. The engineer runs the `show standby` command on R1 and sees this output: ``` Vlan1 - Group 10 State is Active 2 state changes, last state change 00:00:45 Virtual IP address is 192.168.1.254 Active virtual MAC address is 0000.0c07.ac0a Local virtual MAC address is 0000.0c07.ac0a (v1 default) Hello time 3 sec, hold time 10 sec Next hello sent in 1.2 secs Preemption enabled Active router is local Standby router is 192.168.1.1, priority 200 (configured 200) Priority 150 (configured 150) Group name is "hsrp-Vlan1-10" (default) ``` What is the most likely root cause of the problem?
182A network administrator is troubleshooting a connectivity issue on a subnet where two routers, R1 and R2, are configured with HSRP to provide a virtual gateway. Hosts on the subnet can ping the virtual IP address but cannot reach destinations outside the subnet. The administrator discovers that R1 is the active HSRP router. What is the most likely root cause of the problem?
183Which TWO statements about HSRP active/standby election, priority, and preempt are true?
184A network engineer is configuring HSRP on a pair of Cisco routers to provide first-hop redundancy for a subnet. The goal is to ensure that the router with the highest IPv4 address always becomes the active router, and that it automatically reclaims the active role after a failure. The engineer configures priority 100 on both routers. Which additional configuration is required to meet these objectives?
185A network engineer notices that hosts on VLAN 100 (192.168.10.0/24) cannot ping the loopback interface (10.0.0.1/32) of a directly connected router R2. The engineer checks R1's routing table and sees an entry for 10.0.0.0/24 via a different next-hop, but no entry for 10.0.0.1/32. What is the most likely reason for the connectivity failure?
186A network administrator is troubleshooting connectivity from a PC (192.168.1.10/24) to a server at 10.0.0.5/24. The PC's default gateway is 192.168.1.1. Router R1 has a directly connected route to 10.0.0.0/24 via interface GigabitEthernet0/1, which is connected to another VLAN. The server is actually located on the 10.0.0.0/16 network, reachable via a static route through 192.168.1.2. What is the most likely cause of the connectivity issue?
187Which TWO statements correctly describe how a router selects the best path for a destination network when multiple routing table entries exist?

227You are connected to R1 via console. The network has a primary link to the ISP via R2 and a backup link via R3. Configure IPv4 and IPv6 floating static default routes on R1 so that the primary path goes through R2 (AD 1) and the backup through R3 (AD 10). Additionally, configure a static route on R1 for the internal LAN 192.168.10.0/24 via R2 (AD 1). The current configuration includes a static default route ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.3, which causes a recursive routing failure because 10.0.0.3 is not a valid next-hop address. Identify and fix the issue, then apply the floating static routes.
228You are connected to R1. Configure IPv4 and IPv6 static routes, default routes, and floating static routes so that R1 can reach the Internet via R2 (IPv4 and IPv6). The primary route to the Internet should use next-hop 203.0.113.2 (IPv4) and 2001:db8:203:0:113::2 (IPv6). A backup floating static route with administrative distance 200 must exist for IPv4 only, using next-hop 198.51.100.2. Ensure the default routes are correctly configured and troubleshoot any recursive routing failure. Note: R1 currently has an incorrect IPv6 default route pointing to 2001:db8:198:51:100::2 that must be removed.
229You are connected to R1. Configure IPv4 and IPv6 static routes so that R1 can reach the loopback networks on R2 (192.0.2.0/24 and 2001:db8:1::/32) via G0/0. Also, configure a floating static default route via G0/1 (next-hop 203.0.113.2) with an administrative distance of 200 so that it is only used if the directly connected default route fails. The current configuration has a recursive routing failure for the IPv6 route and a missing default route.
230You are connected to R1 via the console. R1 has two directly connected interfaces: G0/0 to R2 (IPv4 only) and G0/1 to a LAN switch (dual stack). Your task: configure IPv4 and IPv6 default routes on R1 pointing to R2 (next-hop 10.0.0.2 and 2001:db8:1::2). Also configure a floating static route to 192.0.2.0/24 via R2 with an administrative distance of 10 (so it is used only if the directly connected route fails). The current running-config shows an incorrect static route that causes recursive routing failure. Identify and fix the issue.
231You are connected to R1. The network consists of three routers: R1, R2, and R3. R1 must reach the loopback network 203.0.113.0/24 on R3 via two paths: a primary static route through R2's G0/0 (192.0.2.2) and a floating static route through R2's G0/1 (198.51.100.2) with an administrative distance of 150. Additionally, R1 already has a default route pointing to 192.0.2.2. Configure the two static routes to 203.0.113.0/24 on R1 as described. The default route does not need to be changed. Verify that the primary route is active and the floating route is used only if the primary fails.
232You are connected to a multilayer switch MLS1. Configure a static default route for IPv4 that points to next-hop 192.0.2.2, but also configure a floating static default route with an administrative distance of 10 that uses next-hop 198.51.100.2. Additionally, configure a static host route for IPv6 host 2001:db8:1::10/128 via next-hop 2001:db8:1::1. The current configuration has a recursive routing failure for the IPv4 default route because the next-hop 192.0.2.2 is not reachable; you must first fix that by adding a directly connected static route. Ensure the floating route becomes active only when the primary route fails.
233You are connected to R1. Configure IPv4 and IPv6 static routes so that R1 can reach the loopback networks on R2 and R3 (203.0.113.0/24 and 2001:db8:1::/48) with proper failover. Ensure that the primary link (G0/0 to R2) is preferred over the backup link (G0/1 to R3) using a floating static route with an appropriate administrative distance. Additionally, configure a default route on R1 for IPv4 and IPv6 so that traffic to unknown destinations is forwarded via the primary link. Troubleshoot the existing configuration to identify and fix a recursive routing failure caused by a wrong next-hop address in one of the static routes.
234You are connected to R1 via console. R1 must forward traffic to the 203.0.113.0/24 and 2001:db8:1::/48 networks through R2 (10.0.0.2/30, 2001:db8:ff::2/64). The primary path must use a next-hop of 10.0.0.2 for IPv4 and 2001:db8:ff::2 for IPv6. Additionally, configure a floating static default route for IPv4 that uses R3 (192.0.2.2/30) as a backup only when the primary path fails. The current configuration has errors: the IPv4 static route points to a wrong next-hop (10.0.0.5) and the primary default route is missing, causing the floating route (AD 100) to become active instead of serving as a backup. Fix these issues so that both primary and backup routes work correctly.
235You are connected to R1. Configure static routes so that R1 can reach the IPv4 network 203.0.113.0/24 and the IPv6 network 2001:db8:acad:1::/64 via R2 (G0/0 10.0.0.2/30). Additionally, configure a floating static default route (IPv4) with an administrative distance of 200 via R2, and a fully specified IPv6 default route via R2. Then, verify that the IPv4 static route to 203.0.113.0/24 is correctly installed by checking the routing table. The current configuration has an incorrect next-hop causing recursive routing failure for the IPv4 static route.
236You are connected to R1 via console. R1 must reach the remote loopback 2001:db8:1::1/128 on R3 via R2 (2001:db8:0:2::2/64). Currently, IPv6 ping fails. Additionally, configure a floating static default route via R2 (198.51.100.2/30) with an appropriate AD so that it only becomes active if a dynamic default route (with default AD 1) is absent. Identify and fix the recursive routing failure, correct the next-hop, set the correct AD, and ensure the default route is present.
237You are connected to R1 via the console. Configure single-area OSPFv2 on R1 and R2 so that they form a full adjacency. The link between R1 and R2 uses 203.0.113.0/30. R1 has G0/0 203.0.113.1/30 and R2 has G0/0 203.0.113.2/30. R1's router-id must be 1.1.1.1, and R2's router-id must be 2.2.2.2. R1's GigabitEthernet0/0 interface is configured as a passive interface under OSPF, preventing OSPF hello messages from being sent out of that interface. Ensure that R1 does not send OSPF hellos out of its loopback0 interface (203.0.113.129/32). After configuration, verify the adjacency is established and OSPF routes are exchanged.
238You are connected to R1. Configure OSPFv2 on R1 and R2 so that they form a full adjacency and can exchange routes. Currently, the adjacency is stuck in EXSTART state. Identify and fix the issue, then verify the adjacency becomes FULL.
239You are connected to R1 via console. The network administrator has attempted to configure OSPFv2 between R1, R2, and R3 but OSPF neighbor adjacencies are failing. Configure R1 to correct all issues so that R1 becomes FULL neighbors with both R2 and R3. Do not modify any other device's configuration.
240You are connected to R1. R1, R2, and R3 are connected via serial links as shown. Configure single-area OSPFv2 on all three routers so that all interfaces in the 10.0.0.0/8 range participate in OSPF area 0, except the loopback interfaces. Currently R1 cannot form OSPF adjacencies with R2 and R3. Examine the running-config of R1 below and determine the corrective actions needed.
241You are connected to R1 via console. R1 and R2 are directly connected via GigabitEthernet0/0. Configure OSPF process 1 on both routers so that they form a full adjacency. R1's router-id must be 1.1.1.1, and R2's router-id must be 2.2.2.2. Use network statements to advertise the direct link. Ensure that R1 does not send OSPF hellos out of its GigabitEthernet0/1 interface. The current configuration on R1 has mismatched hello and dead timers, and an incorrect network type, preventing adjacency. Fix all issues.
242You have console access to both R1 and R2. Configure OSPFv2 on both routers to establish a single-area adjacency in area 0. The link between R1 and R2 uses 10.0.0.0/30. Currently, OSPF is not configured on either router. After configuration, verify the adjacency forms and routes are exchanged.
243You are connected to R1. R1 has OSPF configured on GigabitEthernet0/0 with network 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.3 area 1, ip ospf hello-interval 10, and ip ospf dead-interval 40. R2 has OSPF configured on its GigabitEthernet0/0 with network 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.3 area 0, ip ospf hello-interval 5, and ip ospf dead-interval 20. Correct these mismatches so that R1 and R2 become OSPF neighbors.
244You are connected to R1 via the console. Configure OSPFv2 on R1 and R2 to establish a single-area OSPF adjacency in area 0. The link between R1 (G0/0) and R2 (G0/0) uses 10.0.0.0/30, and both routers must use an MTU of 1500. The current configuration has mismatched hello/dead timers and an area mismatch, preventing adjacency. Fix all issues so that R1 and R2 become fully adjacent.
245You are connected to R1. Configure single-area OSPFv2 on R1 and R2 so that they become fully adjacent. The link between them is 10.0.0.0/30, with R1 using G0/0 and R2 using G0/1. The current configuration has mismatched hello/dead timers: R1's G0/0 uses hello 10 and dead 40, while R2's G0/1 uses hello 30 and dead 120. Also, the 'passive-interface loopback0' command is missing on R1. Ensure OSPF is enabled in area 0, use router-id 1.1.1.1 on R1 and 2.2.2.2 on R2, and correct the timer mismatch.
246You are connected to R1 via the console. Configure single-area OSPFv2 on R1, R2, and R3 so that all three routers can exchange routes. The current configuration has mismatched hello/dead timers on the link between R1 and R2, and an area mismatch on the link between R2 and R3. Correct these issues and ensure OSPF adjacencies form.
247You are connected to R1. Configure OSPFv2 on R1 and R2 so that they form a full adjacency and can exchange routes. The current configuration has mismatched hello/dead timers blocking the adjacency. Adjust only the necessary settings on R1 to match R2's OSPF timers.
248You are connected to R1 via console. You have attempted to configure single-area OSPFv2 on R1 and R2 so that they form a full adjacency, but the adjacency is not establishing. The link between them is 192.168.1.0/30. R1 uses G0/0 (192.168.1.1/30) and R2 uses G0/0 (192.168.1.2/30). R1's router-id must be 1.1.1.1, and R2's router-id must be 2.2.2.2. Additionally, ensure that no OSPF hello packets are sent on R1's loopback0 interface (10.0.0.1/32). After troubleshooting, identify what is causing the issue and what must be corrected. Then verify the adjacency is full and passive-interface is set correctly.
249You are connected to R1 via console. R1 and R2 are directly connected via their GigabitEthernet0/0 interfaces. Configure OSPFv3 for IPv6 on both routers so that the loopback0 interface on R2 (with IPv6 address 2001:db8:acad:2::1/64) is reachable from R1. Enable IPv6 unicast routing, enable OSPFv3 on the appropriate interfaces, and verify the neighbor adjacency and routing table. (Note: R2 already has OSPFv3 configured and is waiting for R1 to complete its configuration.)
250You are connected to R1, a router that must establish OSPFv3 adjacency with R2 over the directly connected link G0/0. The current configuration is incomplete: OSPFv3 process is configured but not enabled on the interface, and global IPv6 unicast routing is missing. Configure R1 so that it becomes an OSPFv3 neighbor with R2 and learns the loopback route 2001:db8:1:2::/64 via OSPFv3. Then verify neighbor state and routing table.
251You are connected to R1, a Cisco router that must establish OSPFv3 adjacency with R2 over its GigabitEthernet0/0 link. The link uses IPv6 addresses 2001:db8:1:1::1/64 on R1 and 2001:db8:1:1::2/64 on R2. R1 currently has IPv6 unicast routing enabled but no OSPFv3 process configured. Configure R1 so that it forms a full OSPFv3 neighbor relationship with R2 and installs the loopback network 2001:db8:2:2::/64 (advertised by R2) into its IPv6 routing table.
252You are connected to R1 via console. Configure OSPFv3 for IPv6 on R1 and R2 so that IPv6 loopback interfaces on both routers can communicate. R1's GigabitEthernet0/0 and R2's GigabitEthernet0/1 are directly connected. Ensure OSPFv3 is enabled on the correct interfaces and verify neighbors and routes.
253You are connected to R1. Configure OSPFv3 for IPv6 on R1 and R2 so that the loopback0 interface on R1 (IPv6 address 2001:db8:1::1/64) can ping the loopback0 interface on R2 (IPv6 address 2001:db8:2::1/64). The routers are connected via their GigabitEthernet0/0 interfaces using IPv6 addresses 2001:db8:12::1/64 (R1) and 2001:db8:12::2/64 (R2). OSPFv3 process ID 100 must be used, and all interfaces must be in area 0.
254You are connected to R1. Configure OSPFv3 for IPv6 so that R1 and R2 can exchange IPv6 routes over their directly connected link. Enable IPv6 routing, assign OSPFv3 process and area on the interface, and verify that the neighbor adjacency forms and routes appear in the IPv6 routing table.
255You are connected to R1 via console. Configure OSPFv3 for IPv6 on both R1 and R2 so that the loopback0 interface on R2 (IPv6 address 2001:db8:1:2::1/64) is reachable from R1. The link between R1 and R2 uses the subnet 2001:db8:1:1::/64 with R1's G0/0 having IPv6 address 2001:db8:1:1::1/64 and R2's G0/0 having 2001:db8:1:1::2/64. OSPFv3 process ID must be 100 and all interfaces must be in area 0. After configuration, verify OSPFv3 neighbors and the IPv6 route to the loopback0 network.
256You are connected to R1. The network must route IPv6 traffic between two directly connected routers using OSPFv3. Configure OSPFv3 on R1's GigabitEthernet0/0 interface in area 0, enable IPv6 unicast routing, and verify that R1 forms an OSPFv3 neighbor adjacency with R2 and learns the remote network 2001:DB8:CAFE:2::/64 via OSPFv3.
257You are connected to R1. Configure OSPFv3 for IPv6 on R1 and R2 so that they can exchange IPv6 routes. R1's GigabitEthernet0/0 is connected to R2's GigabitEthernet0/0. R1 has a loopback0 with IPv6 address 2001:db8:1::1/32, and R2 has a loopback0 with IPv6 address 2001:db8:2::2/32. Ensure OSPFv3 is enabled on both routers, the link interfaces are in area 0, and R1 learns the loopback route from R2.
258You are connected to R1. The network uses HSRP to provide first-hop redundancy for VLAN 10 clients. R1 should be the active router with a priority of 150, preempt enabled, and should track interface GigabitEthernet0/1 (decrement priority by 20 if it goes down). The virtual IP is 192.168.10.254. Currently, both routers are active for the same group. Fix the configuration on R1 so that it becomes the active router and preempts when possible.
259You are connected to R1. The network uses HSRP for default gateway redundancy. Currently, both routers R1 and R2 are in the 'Active' state for HSRP group 10, causing traffic issues. Configure HSRP on R1 so that it becomes the Active router with a priority of 150, preempt enabled, a virtual IP of 192.168.1.254, and track interface GigabitEthernet0/1 so that if it goes down, the priority decrements by 20. Then verify the configuration with 'show standby brief'.
260You are connected to R1 via the console. R1 and R2 are running HSRP for the VLAN 10 subnet 192.168.10.0/24. Currently both routers are active for group 10, causing instability. Configure R1 so that it becomes the active router when its G0/0 interface is up, and R2 takes over only if R1's G0/0 fails. Also correct the virtual IP address to 192.168.10.1. Verify with show standby brief.
261You are connected to R1. Configure HSRP so that R1 becomes the active router for VLAN 10, with a virtual IP of 192.168.10.1. Ensure that R1 preempts if it comes back online after a failure. Also, configure R1 to decrement its HSRP priority by 20 if its GigabitEthernet0/1 interface goes down. The current configuration shows both routers as active — identify and fix the issues.
262You are connected to R1. Configure HSRP on interface GigabitEthernet0/0 so that R1 becomes the active router for group 10 with a virtual IP of 192.0.2.254/24. Ensure that R1 preempts if it regains a higher priority, and track interface GigabitEthernet0/1 to decrement priority by 20 if it goes down. Additionally, troubleshoot the current configuration: both routers are showing as active for group 11 with virtual IP 203.0.113.1, which is incorrect — the virtual IP should be 203.0.113.254 for group 11.
263You are connected to R1. Configure HSRP on R1 and R2 so that R1 is the active gateway for VLAN 100 with a virtual IP of 192.0.2.254. R1 should preempt and track its G0/1 interface to decrement priority by 20 if it goes down. Currently, both routers show active for the group, and the virtual IP is incorrectly set. Troubleshoot and fix the configuration on R1 only.
264You are connected to R1 via the console. The routers R1 and R2 are directly connected using their GigabitEthernet0/0 interfaces, which are in VLAN 100 and use subnet 192.168.1.0/24. Both routers are currently showing as active for HSRP group 10. Configure HSRP on R1's GigabitEthernet0/0 to become the active router (priority 150, preempt enabled, virtual IP 192.168.1.254). Ensure that if R1's GigabitEthernet0/1 WAN interface goes down, its HSRP priority decrements by 30 so that R2 can take over. Also, correct any existing misconfiguration in the HSRP setup.
265You are connected to R1. The network requires HSRP for default gateway redundancy on subnet 192.168.1.0/24. R2 should be the active router, and R1 the standby. Currently, both routers show as active. Configure R1 with priority 90, enable preempt, ensure the virtual IP is 192.168.1.254, and configure tracking of interface GigabitEthernet0/1 (subnet 203.0.113.0/30) so that if R1's tracked interface goes down, its priority decreases by 20. Verify the final state with 'show standby brief'.
266You are connected to R1, which is part of an HSRP group with R2. The current configuration has both routers active for the same virtual IP, causing instability. Configure R1 with a higher priority, enable preempt, and set the virtual IP to 192.168.1.1. Also, configure interface tracking so that if R1's G0/1 goes down, its priority decreases by 15. Verify with 'show standby brief'.
267You are connected to R1, a multilayer switch acting as an HSRP active gateway for VLAN 100. The network requires R1 to be the active router with a virtual IP of 192.168.100.1. Currently, both R1 and the peer router R2 show as active in 'show standby brief', and the virtual IP is misconfigured. Configure HSRP on R1 to fix these issues: set priority to 110, enable preempt, correct the virtual IP, and track interface GigabitEthernet0/1 (decrement priority by 20 if it goes down).
268You are troubleshooting connectivity from R1 to the 203.0.113.0/24 network. R1 is a multilayer switch running routed ports. Currently, R1 has two paths to reach that network: one via R2 (192.0.2.2) and one via R3 (198.51.100.2). The path via R2 is preferred, but after a link failure between R1 and R2, traffic should automatically fail over to the R3 path. However, after the failure, traffic is still being sent to R2. Examine the routing table and configuration, then fix the issue so that the floating static route takes over correctly when the primary route is lost.
269You are connected to R1. Configure R1 so that it uses a floating static route to reach the 203.0.113.0/24 network via R2 only when the primary route (learned via EIGRP) fails. The primary route has an administrative distance of 90. Currently, R1 has no route to 203.0.113.0/24 because EIGRP is down on the direct link. Ensure the floating static route is installed and used.
270You are connected to R1 via the console. The network currently uses EIGRP as its IGP, but you recently configured a static default route toward R2 (next-hop 203.0.113.2) to reach the Internet. However, traffic from R1 to the Internet is not taking the expected path. Examine the provided routing table and partial configuration, then fix the issue so that the static default route is used only when the EIGRP-learned default route is unavailable.
271You are connected to R1. The network currently uses a static default route pointing to ISP1 (198.51.100.1) via GigabitEthernet0/0. However, the backup link to ISP2 (203.0.113.1) via Serial0/0/0 has a floating static default route with an administrative distance of 130. The backup route is not taking over when the primary link fails. Configure the floating static route correctly so that it becomes active when the primary route is lost, and verify that the routing table shows the backup default route with the appropriate next-hop.
272You are troubleshooting a network connectivity issue on R1. The network 192.168.10.0/24 behind R2 must be reachable from R1 via the primary path through R2 (192.0.2.2). A backup path via R3 (198.51.100.2) should automatically take over if the primary fails. Currently, traffic to 192.168.10.0/24 is incorrectly using the backup path even though the primary path is operational. Analyze the routing table and configuration, then fix the issue so that the primary path is preferred when available.
273You are troubleshooting connectivity from R1 to the 172.16.20.0/24 network. The network engineer configured a floating static route on R1 as a backup for the OSPF-learned route, but after the primary OSPF route fails, the backup does not take over. Examine the current routing table and partial configuration on R1, then fix the issue so that when the OSPF neighbor goes down, R1 can still reach 172.16.20.0/24 via R3.

283Two directly connected routers, R1 and R2, are configured with single-area OSPF in Area 0. The administrator notices that they are not forming a full OSPF neighbor adjacency. The exhibit displays relevant portions of the running configurations. What is the most likely cause of the problem?
284A network engineer configures a primary default route via Gi0/0 (next-hop 192.168.12.2) and a floating static default route via Gi0/1 (next-hop 192.168.12.6) with AD 200. To test failover, the engineer issues the shutdown command on Gi0/0. After this, the router does not have a default route in the routing table. Which problem explains this behavior?
285Two routers, R1 and R2, have been configured with HSRP for VLAN 10 to provide default gateway redundancy to hosts. The virtual IP address is 192.168.10.1. After configuration, end hosts report inconsistent connectivity to the gateway, and a failover test reveals that when the active router is shut down, connectivity is lost. The network administrator checks the HSRP status on both routers. Based on the output shown, what is the most likely cause of the redundancy failure?
286A network administrator configures OSPF on two routers, R1 and R2, connected via their Serial0/0/0 interfaces (IP addresses 10.1.1.1/30 and 10.1.1.2/30). They verify that both routers use the same OSPF process ID and area 0, but R1's 'show ip ospf neighbor' shows no adjacencies. Given the partial exhibit from R1, what is the most likely cause of the adjacency failure and its correct solution?
287An administrator configured a floating static default route on R1 as a backup to reach 10.10.10.0/24. The primary path is learned via OSPF, and the floating static route uses an administrative distance of 130. After the primary OSPF neighbor fails, traffic to 10.10.10.0/24 is dropped. According to the exhibit, why is the backup default route not being used?

296Which TWO statements about IPv4 and IPv6 static routes, including floating static routes, are correct?
297Which TWO statements are true about OSPFv2 neighbor adjacency, network statements, and passive interfaces?
298A router learns a route to 172.16.0.0/16 via OSPF (administrative distance 110) and a route to 172.16.10.0/24 via EIGRP (administrative distance 90). No other overlapping routes exist. Which TWO statements about how the router handles these routes are correct?
299An enterprise network uses an IPv6 dual-stack design. Router R1 has a primary default route ::/0 via 2001:db8:1::1 with AD 1 and a floating default route with AD 10 via link-local address fe80::2. After the primary link fails, the floating route fails to install, and R1 loses all external connectivity. The administrator confirms the backup interface is up/up.
300An administrator has just configured OSPF in a single area between router R1 and router R2, which are directly connected via their Gi0/0 interfaces with IP addresses 10.0.0.1/30 and 10.0.0.2/30. On R1, the command show ip ospf neighbor shows no entries, and a further check on R2 with show ip ospf interface gi0/0 indicates that the interface is passive. Which configuration error is most likely causing the adjacency failure?
