A recursive static route is a route whose next hop and the destination network are covered by another learned route in the Routing Information Base (RIB). Such static routes cannot be installed in the RIB because they are considered redundant routes.
What is the difference between a directly connected static route and a recursive?
A directly attached static route relies on its exit interface in order for packets to be sent to its destination, while a recursive static route uses the IP address of the next hop router.
What are 4 types of static routes?
The following types of IPv4 and IPv6 static routes will be discussed:
- Standard static route.
- Default static route.
- Summary static route.
- Floating static route.
