A direct route (also called a connected route) is automatically created when an interface is assigned an IP address and is up.

Option A (Incorrect): The administrator does NOT need to manually configure a direct route. It is automatically added when an IP is assigned to an interface.

Option B (Incorrect): Direct routes have a higher priority than dynamic routes (e.g., OSPF, RIP, etc.).

Option C (Correct): Direct routes have the highest priority among all routing types (default priority = 0, which is the highest).

Option D (Incorrect): Static routes have a lower priority (default 60) than direct routes (0).

Thus, the correct answer is C (The direct route has the highest priority.)

In STP, a port moves from Learning to Forwarding state after the Forward Delay timer has expired. This delay ensures stability by allowing time for the topology to converge before the port begins forwarding user traffic, thereby preventing loops in the network during the transition​.

In OSPF, the Backup Designated Router (BDR) is selected based on the highest priority and, in case of a tie, the highest router ID. Given that Router D has the appropriate settings, it is designated as the BDR, providing backup for the DR (Designated Router) in this network configuration​.

Detailed Explanation:Small campus networks are characterized by simple architecture, limited user counts, and straightforward network requirements. Wide coverage is typically associated with larger campus or enterprise networks. (Reference: HCIA-Datacom Training Material, Campus Network Characteristics)
