Selected Answer: A

the workstation seems to lack a default route (gateway) to reach resources outside its local network. The correct command to add a default route is: A. route ADD 0.0.0.0 MASK 0.0.0.0 <gateway IP address> metric <metric value> So, the technician should use: A. route ADD 0.0.0.0 MASK 0.0.0.0 10.10.51.10 metric 35

Selected Answer: A

A. route ADD 0.0.0.0 MASK 0.0.0.0 10.10.51.10 metric 35 This command will add a default route (0.0.0.0 with a subnet mask of 0.0.0.0) to the routing table, with the specified gateway IP address that traffic should be routed through when the destination is not within the local subnet. The metric value is used to give it a relative cost compared to other routes; a lower metric means a higher priority if multiple routes exist.
