The route 209.165.200.224 255.255.255.224 209.165.202.129 254 is already in the routing table and it is the only route that leads to 209.165.200.224 apart from the default route. We only have one primary link with no backup! But since it is the only route with an AD higher than one, I would pick it.

options B,C have administrative distance costs of 1, so they can't be a floating static route or a backup route. Only option A has an AD higher than one

The administrative distance is the same on both the primary link as well as the supposedly floating static route! 254 ! Should have been greater than 254 so it can be chosen as a backup, I believe !

Selected Answer: A
A is correct. You will only see one of 2 routes in the the table cause the floating route will be only in the table when the primary route fails and comes as alternate. The route with 254 AD should be the floating route, and the primary route has problems (not in table). I agree with yasuke, the question should have stated " which command configured the floating static route...."

Literally spent hours on this one. All the commands are already on the screen, we need to know which one is the backup and which one is the primary. The default route is the default route so ignore that. Leaves us with two routes, one with the lower administrative distance is the primary link: 209.165.201.0 [1/0] via 209.165.202.130 The remaining higher administrative distance is the backup link 209.165.200.224 [254/0] via 209.165.202.129 ..honestly not sure. The primary link is

This was an odd question for several reasons: - The "primary link".........at first I thought it was referring to the default route (gateway of last resort) - Interesting to note: if there is only 1 route in the subnetted network.......no mask is displayed for the line of the subnetwork....so you have to assume the mask on the line above - Yes, to agree with bwg: the AD is the same for the answer and the diagram's network......I would think it needs to be a higher number. Otherwise, other factors being equal (AD).....you are just inserting what the system already has

Yeah this question is messed up. If the AD value was missing from the end of the A command that would do it because the current route in the routing table would be the floating static. If there is a correct answer here I can't see it.
