Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The source IP 172.16.1.1 must be configured on an interface of R4.
Why this is correct
The source-ip must belong to a local interface for the probe to be sourced correctly.
- ✗
The source IP 172.16.1.1 can be any IP address, even if not local.
Why it's wrong here
The source IP must be a local interface address.
- ✗
The operation will fail because frequency 15 is too high.
Why it's wrong here
Frequency 15 is acceptable.
- ✗
The operation will use TCP instead of ICMP.
Why it's wrong here
It uses ICMP as defined.
