20+ practice questions focused on Show IP Route — one of the most tested topics on the CCNA 200-301 v2 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Show IP Route PracticeDrag and drop the following steps into the correct order to configure HSRP on an interface and verify the active/standby election process, including failover and verification.
Explanation: The correct order for HSRP configuration is step A: first enter interface configuration mode, set HSRP version, configure the virtual IP, optionally set priority to influence active router selection, enable preempt to allow the higher-priority router to reclaim active role, and verify with 'show standby' to see real-time roles and states. Step B is incorrect because HSRP is configured per interface, not via global configuration and VLAN creation; the virtual IP is set on the interface, not on a VLAN. Step C is wrong because priority should be set after entering interface configuration mode, not before, and verification should use 'show standby' not 'show running-config'. Step D is invalid because there is no global 'router hsrp' command; HSRP configuration is done directly on the interface, and 'debug standby' is not a reliable verification command. 'show standby' is the standard command to verify active/standby status.
A 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?
Explanation: Option B is correct because OSPFv3 requires explicit interface-level configuration to enable the protocol on a specific interface. The correct command is 'ospfv3 1 ipv6 area 0' (or 'ipv6 ospf 1 area 0' for the traditional OSPFv3 configuration). Without this command, the interface does not participate in OSPFv3, so no Hello packets are sent or received, preventing adjacency formation.
Drag and drop the following steps into the correct order to configure OSPFv3 for IPv6 on a Cisco IOS-XE router.
Explanation: To configure OSPFv3 for IPv6, first enable IPv6 routing globally with 'ipv6 unicast-routing'. Next, enter OSPFv3 configuration mode using 'router ospfv3 1' to set process parameters. Then, apply OSPFv3 on each interface with 'ipv6 ospf <process-id> area <area-id>'. Finally, verify adjacencies with 'show ipv6 ospf neighbor'.
R1 learns the route 192.0.2.0/24 via OSPF, RIP, and a static route configured with an administrative distance of 130. Based on this information, which two statements are correct?
Explanation: The router installs the OSPF route because it has the lowest administrative distance among the routes shown. The static route with AD 130 is intentionally floating, and the RIP route has a higher AD than OSPF. Route selection first prefers longest match, then lower AD among routes to the same prefix length.
A network administrator is troubleshooting a connectivity issue between two remote sites connected via a WAN link. Hosts on VLAN 10 at Site A (192.168.10.0/24) cannot ping the server at Site B (10.10.20.100). The router at Site A has a default route configured with the next-hop IP address 10.10.10.2. The administrator checks the routing table on Router A and notices that the default route is not installed. What is the most likely cause of the problem?
Explanation: Option D is correct because the default route uses a next-hop IP (10.10.10.2) and will only be installed in the routing table if that next-hop is reachable. Since the router’s routing table shows no default route, the most likely cause is that the next-hop 10.10.10.2 is unreachable, preventing the static route from being used. This explains why traffic fails despite the configuration.
