Which of the following instances would be appropriate to use a static route on a router?
  1. Reach a network that is more than 15 hops
  2. Configure a route to the first router on the network segment
  3. Configure a route from an ISP router to a consumer network
  4. Configure a route when the administrative distance of the current routing protocol is too low
Explanation
Answer - C - Static routes should be used to configure a route from an ISP router to a consumer network.

Key Takeaway: A static route is a route that is created manually by a network administrator. The advantages of a static route include easier configuration and absence of a routing protocol overhead. Static routes can precisely control the traffic going on your network. A route between an ISP router and the consumer network is a WAN link and is an example of a stub network. Since there is no need to run a routing protocol over the WAN links between an ISP Router and a consumer network, a static route can be configured.
