so I get this question:
packets destined for servers on the 172.16.254.0 network are being dropped. What command should the administrator issue to ensure that these packets are sent out the gateway of last resort, Serial 0/0/1?
with this routing table(only wrote down the needed info):
172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 3 subnets
R 172.16.1.0
C 172.16.2.0
C 172.16.3.0
C 192.168.1.0/24
s* 0.0.0.0/0
the answer should be that the administrator has to use ip classless. But I dont understand why.
172.16.254.0 doesn't fit in the parent route since its a /24, so why doesn't it automaticly go to the default route?
