A network administrator executes the command `ip route 10.50.1.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.1.2 120` on a Cisco IOS router. What does the numeric value `120` at the end of this command represent?
- The administrative distance configured for the static routeCevap
- BThe metric cost calculated for reaching the next-hop router
- CThe maximum hop count permitted along the network path
- DThe autonomous system number associated with the next-hop router
Cevap
The administrative distance configured for the static route
In Cisco IOS software, the standard syntax for configuring a static route is `ip route <prefix> <mask> {ip-address | exit-interface} [distance]`. When an optional integer value such as 120 is included at the end, it defines the administrative distance (AD) of the static route, overriding the default static route AD of 1.
