Refer to the exhibit.
RTA is configured with a basic configuration. The link between the two routers is operational and
no routing protocols are configured on either router. The line shown in the exhibit is then added to
router RTA. Should interface Fa0/0 on router RTB shut down, what effect will the shutdown have
on router RTA?
A.
A route to 172.16.14.0/24 will remain in the RTA routing table.
B.
A packet to host 172.16.14.225 will be dropped by router RTA.
C.
Router RTA will send an ICMP packet to attempt to verify the route.
D.
Because router RTB will send a poison reverse packet to router RTA, RTA will remove the
route.

The POINT of this question is to MAKE VERY SURE you understand WHY static routes suck.
really….it STAYS in the routing table even though it is unreachable….congestion…unneeded traffic flow…just to have the far end router DISCARD it.
This question shows WHY static routes are a bad design.
