What is a characteristic of a floating static route?
- It is used to provide load balancing between static routes.
- When it is configured, it creates a gateway of last resort.
- It is configured with a higher administrative distance than the original dynamic routing protocol has.
- It is simply a static route with 0.0.0.0/0 as the destination IPv4 address.
Answers Explanation & Hints: Floating static routes are static routes used to provide a backup path to a primary static or dynamic route, in the event of a link failure. They must be configured with a higher administrative distance than the original dynamic routing protocol has. A default static route is simply a static route with 0.0.0.0/0 as the destination IPv4 address. Configuring a default static route creates a gateway of last resort.
