[Lcdp-ccna] Static route challenge

[lance <la...@ja...>]

Was just doing the static route interactive challenge in 12.5.1 from the
cisco online material.
Any one know why we sett a static route between router Lab_A and Lab_D
when they are not 
Directly connected. I thought that was the point of a static route. It
appears that Lab_B is the forwarding
Router but there is no mention of lab_C which is on the route to Lab_D
after Lab_B.
 
 
What am I missing here?
It seems funny to set a static route without specifying the whole path.
