Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Navigate to the virtual router, add a static route, configure destination and next-hop, then commit.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because you must first select the virtual router, then create a new static route entry, define its parameters, and finally commit the changes.
- ✗
Navigate to the virtual router, configure destination and next-hop, add the static route, then commit.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot configure parameters for a route that hasn't been added yet; the Add button must be clicked first to create the entry.
- ✗
Navigate to the virtual router, add a static route, commit, then configure destination and next-hop.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because committing before configuring the route parameters would result in an incomplete or default route, which is not the intended configuration.
- ✗
Add a static route, navigate to the virtual router, configure destination and next-hop, then commit.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you must first select the virtual router where the static route will be added; you cannot add a route without first being in the correct context.
