- B
Check that the route's destination network and mask are correct.
- C
Remove the default route whenever any destination is unreachable.
- D
Verify that the configured next hop is reachable.
- E

Which statements describe appropriate use and requirements for an IPv4 default route? Select all that apply.
- A
Use it to forward destinations for which no more-specific route matches.
- B
Use it to replace all routes needed to reach internal networks.
- C
Configure it only where forwarding unknown destinations to that next hop is appropriate, and ensure the next hop can return traffic.
- D
Configure it even if the next hop cannot be reached, because the default route resolves the next hop automatically.
