In a Cisco IOS routing table, what does the letter 'S' at the beginning of a route entry indicate?

The route was manually configured as a static route.

The route was learned from the OSPF routing protocol.

The route is directly connected to one of the router's interfaces.

The route was learned from the EIGRP routing protocol.

In the routing table entry '10.1.2.0/24 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0', what does '10.1.2.0' represent?

The destination network address

A router has two OSPF routes to the same destination network 10.20.0.0/16. Route A has a metric of 30 and was learned from a neighbor at 192.168.1.1. Route B has a metric of 45 and was learned from a neighbor at 192.168.2.1. Which route will be installed in the routing table?

Route B, because the higher metric indicates a more stable path.

The route with the lower administrative distance, which is Route A.

Both routes, because OSPF supports equal-cost load balancing.

Route A, because OSPF uses cost as the metric and lower is better.

What is the primary purpose of administrative distance in a routing table?

To determine the trustworthiness of a routing source when multiple protocols provide routes to the same destination

To compare routes from the same routing protocol and choose the one with the lowest metric

To calculate the bandwidth and delay of a path

To identify the next-hop router for a route
