In this network, Host A is trying to reach Host D. There is no routing protocol running, but Router B and C have the following static routes configured:
Router B: ip route 10.1.3.0 255.255.255.0 ethernet 1
Router C: ip route 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 ethernet 1
A.
This will not work because Router B has no idea of how to forward traffic to the 10.1.3.0/24 network.
B.
This will work because Router B will recognize that Router C is on the 10.1.2.0/24 network through a router discovery protocol and
will forward traffic for 10.1.3.0/24 to Router C.
C.
This will not work because a broadcast interface in a static route command cannot be specified.
D.
This will work because Router B will ARP for Host D’s IP address on the 10.1.2.0/24 network and Router C will answer.
