   In which scenario is static routing most appropriate?

   • AA network that requires automatic failover to a backup link within seconds.
   • BA network with multiple redundant paths that need load balancing.
   • CA small network with a few routers and a stable topology.
   • DA large enterprise network with hundreds of routers and frequent topology changes.

   In static routing, what is the primary action required to establish a route to a new network?

   • AEnable a routing protocol on the router's interfaces.
   • BReboot the router to load the new route from the startup configuration.
   • CConfigure the route manually using a command such as 'ip route'.
   • DWait for the router to exchange routing updates with neighbors.

   A small remote site connects to the main office via a single MPLS link. The site has a few local subnets and no redundancy. The administrator wants to ensure that the site can still reach the main office even if the MPLS link goes down, but without adding a second physical link. Which option is the most practical?

   • AConfigure a static default route pointing to the MPLS link, and rely on the ISP to provide backup.
   • BConfigure a floating static route to a null interface.
   • CAdd a second WAN link (e.g., broadband) and configure static routes with different administrative distances.
   • DUse a dynamic routing protocol to automatically reroute if the MPLS link fails.

   A network administrator is managing a small office with a single router connecting to an ISP. The office has only a few subnets, and the network topology is static. The administrator wants to ensure that the routing behavior is completely predictable and does not depend on any protocol timers or updates. Which routing method should be used?

   • AA hybrid approach using both static and dynamic routes
   • BStatic routing
   • CDynamic routing with RIP
   • DDynamic routing with OSPF

   A network architect is designing a new data center network with multiple pods, each containing several racks. The network will use leaf-spine topology with redundant paths. The architect needs to ensure that the routing can scale to thousands of routes and converge quickly in case of link failures. Which routing approach is most suitable?

   • AUse static routing on all leaf and spine switches.
   • BUse OSPF with a single area.
   • CUse a dynamic routing protocol like BGP with ECMP.
   • DUse RIP for simplicity.
