You need to configure Server1 to use Router2 to connect to the Internet if Router1 fails

Your network has a router named Router1 that provides access to the Internet. You have a
server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2. Server1 to use Router1 as the
default gateway.
A new router named Router2 is added to the network. Router2 provides access to the
Internet. The IP address of the internal interface on Router2 is 10.1.14.2S4.
You need to configure Server1 to use Router2 to connect to the Internet if Router1 fails.
What should you do on Server1?

Your network has a router named Router1 that provides access to the Internet. You have a

You need to configure Server1 to use Router2 to connect to the Internet if Router1 fails.
What should you do on Server1?

A.
Add a route for 10.1.14.0/24 that uses 10.1.14.254 as the gateway and set the metric to 1.

B.
Add 10.1.14.254 as a gateway and set the metric to 1.

C.
Add a route for 10.1.14.0/24 that uses 10.1.14.254 as the gateway and set the metric to
500.

D.
Add 10.1.14.254 as a gateway and set the metric to 500.

Explanation:
To configure the Automatic Metric feature:
1. In Control Panel, double-click Network Connections.
2. Right-click a network interface, and then click Properties.
3. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
4. On the General tab, click Advanced.
5. To specify a metric, on the IP Settings tab, click to clear the Automatic metric check box,
and then enter the metric that you want in the Interface Metric field.
To manually add routes for IPv4
Open the Command Prompt window by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button.
In the search box, type Command Prompt, and then, in the list of results, click Command
Prompt.
At the command prompt, type route -p add [destination] [mask <netmask>] [gateway] [metric
<metric>] [if <interface>].

The correct answer is D (not C)
To add another gateway fire with admin rights:
route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 10.1.14.254 metric 500

I think B is correct. The lower the metric highest is the priority.
So I think answer should be B.

Your are right but the question say that you have to use router2 in case of failure. The Metric must be higher than the default gateway.

The correct answer is B because the rest doesn’t work.

Adeeb

Adeeb

Sorry I thought it should use router 2 first.
Yes the answer is D.

Yes Adeeb is right the answer is D

right answer is c…. it routes second router is a network cant be reached…. using the second router as a gateway and metric to 500

I had this question at my exam and reached 100% in Network, so I am 110% sure the correct answer is D.

Thanks Dennis , good to know 🙂 .
The answer can’t be C because its sets a GW to a specific address scope, its will go through router2 only when you look for address in the area of 10.1.14.0/24.

So the correct answer is D.

Answer A and C are bogus. Why add a route for 14.1.14.0 as the gateway is on that same range. Try to make a firewall rule out of it. If you can’t make the rule, you can’t make that route.
B and D are valid options, but router2 has inferiority (no priority)

The keyword’s here are “internet access”

Metric 1 would give it a primary roll for routing trafic, wich is NOT asked.
So this rules out A AND B.

Metric 500 gives it a secondary roll for routing trafic.

C is not the answer bcz: it only routes addresses 10.1.14.0/24 (which is a NONE routable/”life” range on the internet! (10…(A-Class), 127…(B-Class), 192…(C-Class)). The solution however should route ALL trafic comming in to the internet.

So the only logical answer is D.

Logically, we know that the metric needs to be higher than 1, because 1 is the absolute minimum and it may be taken by the routers.
So we have C and D options.
From C and D, what we want to do is add a portal, an entrance, a gateway for the machines to reach the internet.
So logicaly the gateway is D.

@ B-Art —- your explanation came from the dumps… lol

Shouldn’t it be ‘D’? We don’t know the subnet of the network so you would add a static route with gateway 10.1.14.254 and mask 0.0.0.0 /0 (all subnets) and a high metric to ensure it is only used if router1 is unavailable.

As ‘C’ states /24 for the destination, which for all we know is the wrong network.
