A pentester is using Metasploit to exploit an FTP server and pivot to a LAN. How will the pentester pivot using Metasploit?

'pivot exploit' is not a valid Metasploit command or workflow; pivoting is a post-exploitation routing technique, not a separate exploit module invocation.

Reconfiguring network settings within Meterpreter affects the target host's network configuration, not Metasploit's internal routing used for pivoting.

Setting a payload controls what executes on a target after exploitation; it does not establish routing through a pivot host to reach internal network segments.

After obtaining a Meterpreter session on a compromised host, a pentester uses the 'route add' command (e.g., 'route add 192.168.1.0/24 [session_id]') to instruct Metasploit to tunnel subsequent exploit traffic through that session to reach otherwise inaccessible LAN segments. This route statement tells the Metasploit framework to proxy traffic for the specified subnet via the compromised pivot host.
