Static Routes - Next Hop IP address vs Exit Interface
In this video, we experiment with various ways of configuring static routes , what really happens under the hood and discuss the advantages and drawbacks associated with the same.
Setting the context - 00:00
IPv4 static routes configured with only an exit interface - 8:37
IPv4 static routes configured with only an next-hop IP address - 18:54
IPv4 static routes configured with both next-hop IP address and exit interface - 26:48

FYI - 42:36, I had run the "show ip route" soon after the e0/1 was shut. Hence you see the 10.0.13.0/24 (connected route) has been removed from the routing table and the route from RIP hadn't arrived on R1 yet. RIP sends periodic updates every 30 sec so you will see 10.0.13.0/24 ( RIP route via R2) if you run the show command again post 30 sec.
