Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
It sends ICMP echo requests from 10.0.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 every 10 seconds.
Why this is correct
The icmp-echo command defines the destination, source-ip sets the source, and frequency sets the interval.
- ✗
It sends ICMP echo requests from 192.168.1.1 to 10.0.0.1 every 10 seconds.
Why it's wrong here
The source-ip is the local address, not the destination.
- ✗
It sends ICMP echo requests every 10 seconds but only after the first successful reply.
Why it's wrong here
The schedule starts immediately, regardless of replies.
- ✗
It sends ICMP echo requests only once and then stops.
Why it's wrong here
The frequency 10 and life forever ensure continuous probing.
