Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
show route resolution
Why it's wrong here
This command shows the resolution state of inet.3 routes for BGP, not general recursive static next-hop resolution status.
- ✓
show route protocol static detail
Why this is correct
This command provides detailed path attributes, next-hop states, and resolution metrics for static routes.
- ✗
show route forwarding-table destination 10.0.1.1
Why it's wrong here
This checks the forwarding table for the next-hop IP, but does not provide the specific static route resolution tracking output.
- ✗
show system route summary
Why it's wrong here
This command is invalid and does not exist in Junos OS.
