What command would you use to set a static route with a next-hop IP of 10.0.13.2 and an administrative distance of 115?

The command used to set a static route in a Cisco IOS environment follows a specific syntax. The correct command includes the "ip route" keyword, the destination network (10.0.0.0), the subnet mask (255.0.0.0), and the next-hop IP address (10.0.13.2). In Cisco devices, administrative distance is implicitly set to the default value for static routes (which is typically 1) unless specified otherwise. However, in this context, the administrative distance is set to 115 explicitly as part of the command.

This command effectively tells the router how to reach the specified destination network through a specific next-hop device, prioritizing this route with the defined administrative distance. The inclusion of 115 in this context allows for manipulation of the route's priority compared to other routing protocols.

Other similar options do not follow the correct syntax or command structure used in Cisco IOS devices, which is why they are not appropriate for setting static routes. The use of "route add", "static ip route", and "set ip route" deviates from the accepted command format in Cisco environments, as those phrases do not exist in the command line interface for configuring static routes.
