A network administrator needs to configure a static route on a router to reach the remote network 172.16.0.0/16 via the next-hop IP address 192.168.1.1. Which command should be used to accomplish this?
The correct command is ip route 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.168.1.1. This command specifies the destination network 172.16.0.0 with the subnet mask 255.255.0.0 (which corresponds to /16), and directs packets to the next-hop IP address 192.168.1.1. The other options are incorrect because they either use the wrong subnet mask, misplace the next-hop IP address, or have incorrect syntax.
