  1. The answer is C
    I tested that by my self
    I configured interface 0/0 with IP address then I enabled the interface, then I did “sh ip route , I saw a direct connected route!!

  2. Hmmmm this is another CISCO question with tricky answers,
    Under answer B we are missing IP address and enabled but
    under answer C, not sure if we have any cable connected or not. We can just assume it is connected. In all answers we have all details
    I think right answer here is:
    C. when an interface on the route is configure with an ip address, enabled AND CONNECTED

    On the exam I think I’ll take c for answer

  3. I think it refers to the fact that if the interface is connected as in”B”, but the interface has no ip address or is shutdown, it will not be identified in the routing table.

    1. Yeah C is correct
      “Directly connected networks are added to the router’s routing table if the interface connected to the network has an IP address configured and is in the up and up state. Connected routes always take precedence over static or dynamically discovered routes because they have the administrative distance value of 0 (the lowest possible value). ”

      For this LOGICAL
