A router has the following routing table entries: 'S 10.0.0.0/8 [1/0] via 192.168.1.1' and 'S 10.1.0.0/16 [1/0] via 192.168.2.1'. A packet destined for 10.1.2.3 arrives. Which route will be used?

Both routes, because they are static and can be load-balanced.

The 10.0.0.0/8 route, because it covers a larger range of addresses.

The 10.1.0.0/16 route, because it is the most specific match.

The 10.0.0.0/8 route, because it has a lower administrative distance.

A router has the following routing table entries: C 192.168.1.0/24, S 192.168.2.0/24 via 192.168.1.254, and S* 0.0.0.0/0 via 192.168.1.1. A packet arrives destined for 192.168.3.10. Which route will the router use to forward this packet?

The static route via 192.168.1.254

The default route via 192.168.1.1

The connected route 192.168.1.0/24

The router drops the packet because no route matches

What is the purpose of the gateway of last resort in a routing table?

To forward packets that do not match any more specific route

To determine the trustworthiness of a routing source

To provide a backup route for a specific network

To select the best route among multiple OSPF routes

A network engineer is troubleshooting a connectivity issue. The routing table shows the following entry: 'S 10.0.0.0/8 [1/0] via 192.168.1.1'. The engineer wants to verify that the next hop is reachable. Which command or action would confirm reachability?

Ping 192.168.1.1 from the router.

Check the administrative distance of the route.
