Which two statements are true about the command ip route 172.16.3.0 25 (CCNA 200-301)
Which two statements are true about the command ip route 172.16.3.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.4?
(Choose two)
A) It establishes a static route to the 172.16.3.0 network.
B) It establishes a static route to the 192.168.2.0 network.
C) It configures the router to send any traffic for an unknown destination to the 172.16.3.0 network.
D) It configures the router to send any traffic for an unknown destination out the interface with the address 192.168.2.4.
E) It uses the default administrative distance.
F) It is a route that would be used last if other routes to the same destination exist.
Solution
Correct answer: A) It establishes a static route to the 172.16.3.0 network and E) It uses the default administrative distance.
A - This command creates a static route to the network 172.16.3.0/24. Any packets destined for this network will be forwarded to the next-hop IP address 192.168.2.4.
E - Static routes have a default administrative distance of 1. This means that this route will be preferred over routes learned via dynamic routing protocols, which typically have higher administrative distances.
Why the other options are incorrect:
B - Incorrect. The command specifies the next-hop address (192.168.2.4), not a static route to the 192.168.2.0 network.
C - Incorrect. The route only applies to traffic destined for the 172.16.3.0/24 network, not for unknown destinations.
D - Incorrect. This command does not deal with unknown destinations; it specifically routes traffic for the 172.16.3.0/24 network.
F - Incorrect. Since static routes have a default administrative distance of 1, they are typically preferred unless there is another static route with a lower metric.
