A server has two interfaces: eth0 (192.168.1.10/24, gateway 192.168.1.1) and eth1 (10.0.0.10/24, gateway 10.0.0.1). The server needs to reach the 172.16.0.0/16 network via 10.0.0.1. The administrator adds a route with `ip route add 172.16.0.0/16 via 10.0.0.1`. However, traffic to 172.16.0.0/16 still goes via the default gateway 192.168.1.1. What is the most likely cause?

The route was added to the wrong table; it needs to be added to the main table.

The route metric is higher than the default route, so the default is preferred.

The route is not persistent and was lost when the command was run.

The kernel is using policy routing rules that override the main table.

A technician is configuring a laptop to connect to a WPA2-Enterprise network. The network requires a username and password. The technician has created a configuration file for `wpa_supplicant`. What additional step is required to ensure the wireless interface associates with the network?

Run `iw wlan0 connect MyNetwork`

Run `wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf`
