ICND1: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (CCENT, legacy) — Question 65

The command ip route 192.168.100.160 255.255.255.224 192.168.10.2 was issued on a router. No routing protocols or other static routes are configured on the router. Which statement is true about this command?

Answer options

• A. The interface with IP address 192.168.10.2 is on this router.
• B. The command sets a gateway of last resort for the router.
• C. Packets that are destined for host 192.168.100.160 will be sent to 192.168.10.2.
• D. The command creates a static route for all IP traffic with the source address 192.168.100.160.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the command specifies that packets aimed at the destination IP 192.168.100.160 should be forwarded to the next hop at 192.168.10.2. Option A is incorrect as it does not confirm that the interface exists on this router, option B is incorrect since it does not set a gateway of last resort, and option D misinterprets the command as it does not create a static route for all IP traffic based on the source address.
