Static route syntax understanding: For the command ip route 172.16.4.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.4.2, which statements are true?

Introduction / Context:
This item checks knowledge of Cisco static route configuration and semantics, including administrative distance and the difference between default routes and specific network routes.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Statement 1: Command establishes a static route.
• Statement 2: Uses default administrative distance.
• Statement 3: Configures the default route.
• Statement 4: The subnet mask refers to the source address.

Concept / Approach:
The form is ip route . It creates a static route with default administrative distance 1. A default route would use 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0. The mask applies to the destination network, not a source.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Show running-config or show ip route static will reveal AD of 1 unless overridden.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Any combination including #3 or #4 is incorrect because the command is not a default route and the mask is not a “source” mask.

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing source vs destination masks and thinking any ip route equals a default route.

Final Answer:
1 and 2
