Question 259hardScenario

You 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.

You 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.

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.

You 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.

You 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.

You 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.

You 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.

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.

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'.

Read the full NAT/PAT explanation →

You 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.

You 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.

You are connected to R1 via the console. R1 is a newly deployed router that connects two subnets: 192.168.1.0/24 on GigabitEthernet0/0 and 192.168.2.0/24 on GigabitEthernet0/1. There is a default route to the Internet via ISP router at 203.0.113.1, but the network policy requires that traffic from 192.168.1.0/24 to the Internet must exit via a different next-hop 203.0.113.2. You need to implement policy-based routing on R1 to forward traffic from source 192.168.1.0/24 to 203.0.113.2, while all other traffic uses the default route via 203.0.113.1.

The serial link to R2 uses IP subnet 10.0.0.0/30 and is in OSPF area 1. The network administrator wants to advertise a single summary route for these three subnets to R2, reducing the OSPF link-state database size in area 1. R1 is already running OSPF with network statements for its connected subnets in their respective areas. You need to configure route summarization on R1 so that only the summary route is advertised to R2 via the serial link.

You are connected to R1 via console. R1 is a router that has two paths to the Internet: one via ISP1 with next-hop 203.0.113.1, and a backup via ISP2 with next-hop 203.0.113.2. The primary path should be via ISP1, but if it fails, traffic should automatically use ISP2. Currently, R1 has a static default route to ISP1 only. You need to configure a floating static route to ISP2 with an administrative distance of 150 to provide backup connectivity. Additionally, you must ensure that the backup route is only used when the primary route is not available.
