A company’s router needs to send all traffic destined for unknown networks to the IP address 10.0.0.1. Which command should the network administrator use to configure a default IPv4 static route for this purpose?
To configure a default route, the administrator should use the command that specifies the destination network as 0.0.0.0 with a subnet mask of 0.0.0.0. This represents all possible networks. The correct command is ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1. This tells the router to forward any packets destined for networks not in its routing table to the next-hop IP address 10.0.0.1. The other options either use incorrect syntax or incorrect network and mask combinations.
