19. Which two statements correctly describe the concepts of administrative

distance and metric? (Choose two.)

Administrative distance refers to the trustworthiness of a particular route*

10.1.1.0/24 network.

network

22. A network administrator configures the interface fa0/0 on the router R1 with
the command ip address 172.16.1.254 255.255.255.0. However, when the
administrator issues the command show ip route, the routing table does not show
the directly connected network. What is the possible cause of the problem?

to forward packets destined for the network 0.0.0.0 to the device with IP address
209.165.200.226
to provide a route to forward packets for which there is no route in the
routing table*
