A BIG-IP Administrator needs to create a route to send traffic destined to 10.1.1.1 to another router with an address of 192.168.1.1. Which TMSH command should the administrator use?

The correct answer is A. create/net route 10.1.1.1/32 gw 192.168.1.1. The correct TMSH syntax for creating a static host route on BIG-IP places the destination network first followed by the 'gw' keyword and gateway address.

Why each option

The correct TMSH syntax for creating a static host route on BIG-IP places the destination network first followed by the 'gw' keyword and gateway address.

Acreate/net route 10.1.1.1/32 gw 192.168.1.1Correct

The command 'create net route 10.1.1.1/32 gw 192.168.1.1' uses the correct TMSH module path ('net route'), the proper destination host with a /32 prefix mask, and the 'gw' keyword to specify the next-hop gateway of 192.168.1.1. This follows BIG-IP TMSH syntax for static route creation under the net module.

Bcreate met route 192.168.1.1/32 gw 10.1.1.1

'met' is not a valid TMSH module name for routing, and the destination and gateway addresses are reversed from the stated requirement.

Cadd met route 192.168.1.1/32 gw 10.1.1.1

'add' is not a valid TMSH verb for creating routes - TMSH uses 'create' to add new objects - and 'met' is not a valid TMSH module.

Dadd inet route 10.1.1.1/32 gw 192.168.1.1

'add inet' is not valid TMSH syntax; BIG-IP TMSH uses 'create net route' for static route creation, and 'inet' is not a recognized TMSH module for routing.
