Directly Connected Static Route

Directly Connected Static Routes: -

·         A directly connected route that is directly attached to one of the router interfaces. When a router interface is configured with an IP address, the interface becomes a Directly Connected.

·         You must specify only the interface on which all packets are sent to the destination network in a directly connected static route.

·         The router assumes the destination is directly attached to the output interface and the packet destination is used as the next-hop address.

·         Directly Connect static route have a default administrative distance of 0.

·         The next-hop can be an interface, only for point-to-point interfaces.

·         For broadcast interfaces, the next hop must be an IPv4/IPv6 address.
