Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Enter global configuration mode, then configure the static route using the ip route command with the destination network, subnet mask, and next-hop address, then verify with the show ip route command
Static routes require global config mode and must specify the destination network, subnet mask, and next-hop address or exit interface.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Enter global configuration mode, then configure the static route using the ip route command with the destination network, subnet mask, and next-hop address, then verify with the show ip route command
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because you must first enter global configuration mode to allow configuration commands, then issue the ip route command to define the static route, and finally verify the route with show ip route to ensure it is installed in the routing table.
- ✗
Configure the static route using the ip route command first, then enter global configuration mode, then verify with show ip route
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the ip route command is a global configuration command and must be issued while in global configuration mode; attempting to configure it before entering that mode will result in an error.
- ✗
Enter global configuration mode, then verify with show ip route, then configure the static route using the ip route command
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because verifying the route before configuring it serves no purpose; the route cannot exist until it is configured. The verification step should come after configuration to confirm the route was added.
- ✗
Verify with show ip route, then enter global configuration mode, then configure the static route using the ip route command
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because verification should occur after configuration, not before. Also, entering global configuration mode after verification does not affect the order, but verifying before configuring is the logical error.
