Which CLI command assigns the IP address 192.168.88.1/24 to interface ether2?

Which CLI command assigns the IP address 192.168.88.1/24 to interface ether2?

• A. /ip address add address=192.168.88.0/24 interface=ether2
• B. /ip address add address=192.168.88.1/24 interface=ether2
• C. /ip address set address=192.168.88.1/24 interface=ether2
• D. /ip address add address=192.168.88.2/24 interface=ether2

Answer: (D)

This tests how to assign a specific IPv4 address to an interface using the RouterOS CLI. To set an IP on an interface, you use the /ip address add command, providing the address in CIDR notation and the interface name. For the required IP, 192.168.88.1/24 must be assigned to ether2. The correct command is: /ip address add address=192.168.88.1/24 interface=ether2. This creates a new address entry binding that host IP to that interface within the 192.168.88.0/24 network. Why the other options don’t fit: using 192.168.88.0/24 would attempt to assign the network address, which is not used as a host IP on an interface. using set would modify an existing entry rather than create the new binding you need. using 192.168.88.2/24 assigns a different host IP instead of the requested one.
