c) R(config-if)#ip route 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 10.1.1.255

d) R(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0/32 10.1.1.255

2. What is the primary purpose of configuring a static route on a router? (Choose one answer)

a) To automatically learn all possible network paths

b) To manually define a path to a remote network that is not directly connected

d) To encrypt traffic between two remote hosts

3. A network administrator configures the following static route: R(config)# ip route 192.168.99.0 255.255.255.0 GigabitEthernet0/1. What is a potential issue with this configuration if the link to the next-hop router is down? (Choose one answer)

a) The route will be automatically removed from the routing table until the interface comes back up

b) The route will remain in the routing table, and packets will be dropped because they are forwarded to a down interface

c) The router will not accept the command because a next-hop IP address must be specified

d) The router will dynamically reroute traffic using a different known path

4. For a host on a network to communicate with a host on a different network, it must be configured with which of the following? (Choose one answer)

a) A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server address
