Question:
A network administrator configures a router by the command ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 209.165.200.226. What is the purpose of this command?
- to forward all packets to the device with IP address 209.165.200.226
- to add a dynamic route for the destination network 0.0.0.0 to the routing table
- to forward packets destined for the network 0.0.0.0 to the device with IP address 209.165.200.226
- to provide a route to forward packets for which there is no route in the routing table
Explanation: The command ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 adds a default route to the routing table of a router. When the router receives a packet and does not have a specific route toward the destination, it forwards the packet to the next hop indicated in the default route. A route created with the ip route command is a static route, not a dynamic route.
