Question 520
At a regional hospital campus in Richmond, engineers report that two static routes to the same destination use an unintended preference and select the backup during normal operation. The work affects clinical scheduling and bedside devices. Which test result most directly confirms the required behavior?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This observation tests the Static/default route and route preference requirement at a regional hospital campus in Richmond. The expected result is that the intended destination resolves through the authorized next hop and no unwanted default-route black hole remains. The necessary correction is to install the correct destination prefix and reachable next hop, then validate route preference before expecting application reachability; a saved configuration alone would not prove it is working. In this case, the observed fault is that two static routes to the same destination use an unintended preference and select the backup during normal operation.
Incorrect Answers
At a regional hospital campus in Richmond, this measures a different network requirement, OSPF neighbor prerequisites and states. The case describes that two static routes to the same destination use an unintended preference and select the backup during normal operation, so accepting this result would leave the primary fault without direct verification.
At a regional hospital campus in Richmond, the observation may be useful for a separate BGP peer state and AS compatibility test, but it does not establish that two static routes to the same destination use an unintended preference and select the backup during normal operation has been resolved. The relevant check is the Static/default route and route preference outcome.
At a regional hospital campus in Richmond, this measures a different network requirement, Dynamic route filtering and redistribution. The case describes that two static routes to the same destination use an unintended preference and select the backup during normal operation, so accepting this result would leave the primary fault without direct verification.
