Question 1000
A routing table shows S 172.16.8.0/24 via 192.0.2.2 and C 192.0.2.0/24 on GigabitEthernet0/0. What does the connected entry provide for the static route?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The static route points to an IP on the connected subnet; the router resolves that next hop to an on-link adjacency before forwarding remote-prefix traffic.
Incorrect Answers
Only the gateway is on-link; the 172.16.8.0/24 destination remains reached through a router.
Recursive next-hop resolution does not alter the static source code of a remote route.
The next-hop IP is in the connected /24 and needs no unrelated default route.
