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

There is no 'pivot exploit' command in Metasploit; pivoting is a post-exploitation routing technique, not a standalone exploit module.

Reconfiguring network settings inside Meterpreter modifies the victim host's network configuration, which does not establish a tunnel for the attacker to route traffic through the compromised host.

Setting a payload to 'propagate' is not a Metasploit concept for pivoting; propagation relates to worm-like spreading, not controlled LAN traversal via routing.

After obtaining a Meterpreter session on a compromised host, the pentester uses the 'route add' command (or 'run post/multi/manage/autoroute') to create a route in Metasploit's routing table. This instructs Metasploit to tunnel subsequent exploit traffic through the Meterpreter session to reach internal LAN subnets that are otherwise unreachable from the attacker's machine.
