An administrator needs to configure a static route on a router to reach the network 10.1.0.0/16 via the next-hop IP address 192.168.2.2 through ethernet interface. Which command should be used?
The command ip route 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.168.2.2 correctly configures a static route to the destination network 10.1.0.0 with the subnet mask 255.255.0.0, specifying the next-hop IP address as 192.168.2.2. This instructs the router to forward packets destined for the 10.1.0.0/16 network to the specified next hop. The other options are incorrect: ip route 192.168.2.2 255.255.0.0 10.1.0.0 reverses the destination network and next-hop IP address; ip route 10.1.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.2 uses an incorrect subnet mask, defining a /24 network instead of the required /16; ip route 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 serial0/0 specifies an outgoing interface rather than a next-hop IP address, which may not be appropriate if the interface is not point-to-point or if there are multiple paths.
