A network administrator has been tasked to configure R1 and R2, and both PCs from each remote network must be able to communicate with each other. PC1 can ping its default gateway, and PC2 can do the same. However, ping tests from both PCs failed. Base on the output shown, what could be the cause of this problem?

Theres no static route configured on R2

Theres an IP address overlapping problem

R1 must be configured with a correct ip route statement

R2 doesnt have to be configured with Static route because R1 and R2 is directly connected

The gateway of last resort is not set

Explanation

Static routes are manually configured, it defines explicit paths between two routers. In this scenario, both routers must be configured with a static route statement (default or specific). Each static route statement must point to the remote network, i.e., from R2, issue the ip route 172.16.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.1. The network address 172.16.0.0 is the destination or remote network while the IP address 10.1.1.1 is the next-hop address.
