CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 320

A network technician does not have access to the GUI of a server and needs to adjust some network properties. Given the command: route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.169.1.222 metric 1
Which of the following is the technician attempting to alter?

Answer options

• A. The technician is clearing the route table.
• B. The technician is adding a static IP address.
• C. The technician is clearing the subnet mask setting.
• D. The technician is setting the default gateway.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the command is used to set a default gateway for the network. The other options do not accurately describe the function of the command; it does not clear the route table, assign a static IP, or remove a subnet mask.
