hi
in Lab Networks basics Q 11 
While we are at it, there is also a missing default route on the server devapp01 .
Add the default route via eth0 gateway.
There is hint as below " sudo ip r add default via 172.16.238.1 "
Query
My understanding of this problem as below . The devapp01 server is having 3 interfaces as below
eth0 : 172.16.238.10
eth1 : 172.16.239.10
eth2 : 172.18.0.4
Q1 . How do you know where is IP 172.16.238.1 is configured in the network ?
Q2. Why do you think route needs to be added to 172.16.238.1 and not to 172.16.238.10 which IP address of the eht0 ?
I added route to .10 instead of .1 and it works . below is my working.
