Although answer D almost seems right, it is not; the mask is the mask used on the remote network, not the source network. Since there is no number at the end of the static route, it is using the default administrative distance of 1.

Which of the following statements are true regarding the command ip ro...
The correct answer is option 'A': 1 and 2.
Explanation:
The command "ip route 172.16.4.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.4.2" is used to establish a static route. Let's break down the given statements and analyze them:
1. The command is used to establish a static route:
- This statement is true. The "ip route" command is used to configure static routes on a network device. In this case, it is establishing a static route for the network 172.16.4.0 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, with the next hop IP address of 192.168.4.2.
2. The default administrative distance is used:
- This statement is also true. Administrative distance is a metric used by routers to determine the preferred route to a destination when multiple routes exist. In this case, since the command does not specify a specific administrative distance, the default administrative distance is used. The default administrative distance for a static route is typically 1.
3. The command is used to configure the default route:
- This statement is false. The command is not used to configure the default route. The default route is a special type of static route that is used when there is no specific route available for a destination. It is typically configured as "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 ".
4. The subnet mask for the source address is 255.255.255.0:
- This statement is false. The command does not specify a source address or subnet mask. It only specifies the destination network (172.16.4.0) and its subnet mask (255.255.255.0), along with the next hop IP address (192.168.4.2).
In conclusion, the correct statements are 1 and 2. The command is used to establish a static route and the default administrative distance is used. The other statements are false.
