In a routing table, what symbol indicates a route learned from static configuration?

• A. S
• B. D
• C. O
• D. C

Answer: (A)

Routing tables label each entry with a character that shows how that route was learned. A static route—one you configure manually—gets the symbol S. That tells you the path is fixed by you and not learned from a neighbor router through a dynamic routing protocol. Dynamic protocols like EIGRP and OSPF use other letters (for example, D and O) to indicate routes learned from them, while a route that is directly connected to an interface is labeled C. So the S symbol specifically indicates a route configured statically.
