An administrator has configured a custom routing table and policy rules on a RHEL 8 system. The configuration works until the next reboot, then the rules are lost. What is the recommended way to make the policy routing persistent?

Add the ip rule commands to /etc/rc.local and make it executable.

Create a script in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and call it from the interface configuration.

Use a NetworkManager dispatcher script in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ that applies the rules when the network comes up.

Add the ip rule commands to /etc/profile.

On a Red Hat-based system, which file is used to configure a bonding interface named bond0?

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0

What is the purpose of policy routing in Linux?

To route packets based on criteria other than the destination address, such as source address or packet marks

To isolate network stacks for different processes

To prioritize network traffic based on QoS rules

To combine multiple network interfaces for redundancy
