Exam XK0-005 topic 1 question 5 discussion

D. ip route add 10.0.213.5/32 via 10.0.5.1 dev eth0 The administrator should run the following command to implement the persistent, static route: "ip route add 10.0.213.5/32 via 10.0.5.1 dev eth0" This command adds a static route to the routing table, which specifies that packets sent over the interface "eth0" to the destination address "10.0.213.5/32" should be routed via the gateway "10.0.5.1". The "ip" command is used to manage the Linux IP routing table, and the "route add" option is used to add a new route. The "dev" option specifies the interface over which the packets should be sent. To make the route persistent across reboots, the administrator can add the same command to the appropriate configuration file (e.g., /etc/rc.local).

The correct answer is D. ip route add 10.0.213.5/32 via 10.0.5.1 dev eth0.

D seems to be correct. I tested it locally and it worked.
