Which order of steps is the correct way to create a static route?

Answer options

• A. 1) Enter the route and netmask 2) Specify the outgoing interface for packets to use to go to the next hop 3) Enter the IP address for the specific next hop 4) Add an IPv4 or IPv6 route by name
• B. 1) Enter the IP address for the specific next hop 2) Add an IPv4 or IPv6 route by name 3) Enter the route and netmask 4) Specify the outgoing interface for packets to use to go to the next hop
• C. 1) Enter the route and netmask 2) Enter the IP address for the specific next hop 3) Specify the outgoing interface for packets to use to go to the next hop 4) Add an IPv4 or IPv6 route by name
• D. 1) Enter the IP address for the specific next hop 2) Enter the route and netmask 3) Add an IPv4 or IPv6 route by name 4) Specify the outgoing interface for packets to use to go to the next hop

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because it follows the proper sequence: first, you define the route and netmask, then specify the next hop's IP address, followed by the outgoing interface, and finally, add the route by name. The other options misplace steps, which could lead to incorrect routing configuration.
