Your network is configured as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)
Server1 regularly accesses Server2.
You discover that all of the connections from Server1 to Server2 are routed through Router1.
You need to optimize the connection path from Server1 to Server2.
Which route command should you run on Server1?
A.
Route add -p 10.10.10.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 172.23.16.2 METRIC 100
B.
Route add -p 10.10.10.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1 METRIC 50
C.
Route add -p 10.10.10.12 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1 METRIC 100
D.
Route add -p 10.10.10.12 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.0 METRIC 50
Explanation:
Destination – specifies either an IP address or host name for the network or host.
subnetmask – specifies a subnet mask to be associated with this route entry. If subnetmask
is not specified, 255.255.255.255 is used.
gateway – specifies either an IP address or host name for the gateway or router to use when
forwarding.
costmetric – assigns an integer cost metric (ranging from 1 through 9,999) to be used in
calculating the fastest, most reliable, and/or least expensive routes. If costmetric is not
specified, 1 is used.
interface – specifies the interface to be used for the route that uses the interface number. If
an interface is not specified, the interface to be used for the route is determined from the
gateway IP address.

why metric 100 and not 50?
Adeel, given the possible answers, A is correct. While 50 may be better, it is not one of the choices.
indeed only A gives a correct gateway for server1.
metric does not matter here, it’s just to confuse. it’s the gateway: only A has the right gateway
Agree with den.
