Common Traps on Show IP Route Output Practice Questions
- ·Longest-prefix match is checked before administrative distance.
- ·Connected and local routes can appear alongside dynamic or static routes.
- ·The selected route may not be the one with the lowest metric if the prefix length differs.
Sample Questions
Practice all 7 →A public API receives global traffic but has been targeted by both volumetric DDoS attacks and SQL injection attempts in HTTP request parameters. Which single GCP service provides protection against both threats?
Explanation: Cloud Armor is GCP's application-layer security service providing DDoS protection (volumetric attacks absorbed at Google's edge) and WAF capabilities (preconfigured OWASP Core Rule Sets for common exploits including SQL injection). VPC firewall rules operate at L3/L4 and don't inspect HTTP payloads.
A web application uses a managed instance group. Traffic spikes sharply between 9 AM and 5 PM and drops to near zero overnight. Which autoscaling metric most directly triggers scale-out before user experience degrades?
Explanation: HTTP load balancing serving capacity (measured as requests per second or CPU utilization per instance at the load balancer backend) is the most direct signal for web traffic autoscaling — it reflects actual request volume hitting the service. CPU utilization can lag since it rises only after instances become saturated.
A team's application emits a custom business metric (orders per minute) via its code. They want to display this metric on a Cloud Monitoring dashboard and alert when it drops below 50 orders per minute. What must be done first?
Explanation: Custom metrics must be written to Cloud Monitoring via the Monitoring API (or client library, Ops Agent custom metrics, or OpenTelemetry). Once the metric is flowing, it can be used in dashboards and alerting policies like any built-in metric.
An operations team wants to count how many times the string 'PaymentFailure' appears in application logs per minute and alert when it exceeds 10 occurrences. Cloud Monitoring doesn't have a native metric for this log pattern. What is the correct approach?
Explanation: Log-based metrics in Cloud Logging extract numeric values or counts from log entries matching a filter. A counter metric counting log entries matching 'PaymentFailure' creates a time-series metric that Cloud Monitoring can then use for dashboards and alerting policies.
A platform team needs a Kubernetes workload that runs exactly one Pod on every node in a GKE cluster — including nodes added in the future. The workload collects host-level metrics. Which Kubernetes resource type should they use?
Explanation: A DaemonSet ensures exactly one Pod runs on every node in the cluster (or nodes matching a node selector). When new nodes are added, the DaemonSet automatically schedules a Pod on them. This is the standard pattern for node-level agents like log collectors, metric exporters, and network plugins.

Frequently asked questions
How do "Show IP Route Output Practice Questions" appear on the real ACE?
Practise interpreting routing-table output, route selection, administrative distance, metrics, next hops and longest-prefix match. These appear throughout the ACE and require you to apply your knowledge, not just recall facts.
How many scenario questions are on the ACE exam?
Cisco doesn't publish an exact breakdown, but scenario-based questions (especially exhibit and command-output formats) make up a significant portion of the ACE. Practicing each scenario type ensures you're ready for any format.
