Referring to the exhibit, which routing configuration is required for these two users to access the remote server?
In this topology, the two users sit on the 10.1.1.0/24 subnet, connected through a switch to a router interface with address 10.1.1.254. The server resides on the 10.1.2.0/24 subnet, reachable through the same router's other interface, addressed 10.1.2.254. Since the router has direct interfaces on both subnets, it already possesses routes to each subnet without requiring a dynamic routing protocol or any special configuration on the router beyond its interface addressing. For end hosts to reach a destination outside their own local subnet, however, each host must know where to forward that off-subnet traffic — this is accomplished by configuring a default gateway. The users must have their default gateway set to 10.1.1.254 (the router's address on their subnet), and the server must have its default gateway set to 10.1.2.254 (the router's address on its subnet). Without these default gateway settings, the hosts would have no way of directing inter-subnet traffic to the router, even though the router itself is capable of routing between the two connected networks.
