How many Show IP Route Output Practice Questions questions are on this page?

This page has 7 Show IP Route Output Practice Questions scenario questions for the 350-401 exam, each with detailed explanations and wrong-answer analysis.

How should I approach 350-401 scenario questions?

Read the full scenario before looking at the answer options. Identify the constraint or requirement in the scenario, then eliminate options that are generally true but wrong for this specific case. Scenario questions reward careful reading over pattern matching.

Practice scenarios

Question 1hardmultiple choice

Study the full EIGRP explanation →

A network engineer is configuring EIGRP on a router that connects to a service provider network. The engineer wants to advertise a default route to internal routers. The engineer configures 'ip default-network 0.0.0.0' and redistributes a static default route into EIGRP. However, internal routers are not receiving the default route. The engineer checks the EIGRP topology table and sees the default route with a metric of 1. What is the most likely reason?

A
The engineer used 'ip default-network' which is not supported in EIGRP; instead, 'default-information originate' should be used.
Why wrong: Ly states that 'default-information originate' should be used for EIGRP. That command is for OSPF, not EIGRP. While 'ip default-network' is indeed not supported in EIGRP, the correct method is to redistribute a properly configured static default route, not to use 'default-information originate'. Therefore, this is not the most likely reason.
B
The static default route is not configured correctly; the engineer should use 'ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 <next-hop>'.
Correct. The static default route must be correctly configured with a next-hop IP address. If the static route is missing or uses an interface instead of a next-hop, it may not be valid, and the redistribution will not propagate the route to internal routers, despite appearing in the topology table with a metric.
C
The internal routers have a route to the default network with a better metric from another source.
Why wrong: Internal routers are not receiving the default route at all, so they cannot have a route with a better metric from another source. This option describes a scenario where the route is received but not preferred, which does not match the problem.
D
The engineer needs to configure 'eigrp stub' on the router to allow default route advertisement.
Why wrong: Configuring 'eigrp stub' on the router would restrict route advertisement, not allow it. To advertise a default route from a stub router, you would need the 'summary' keyword, but the router is not necessarily a stub. This would not be the most likely reason for the failure.

A network administrator is troubleshooting a BGP routing issue where routes from an eBGP neighbor are not being installed in the routing table. The 'show ip bgp' output shows the routes are received but not valid. What is the most likely cause?

A
The AS-path contains the local AS number.
Why wrong: This is incorrect. While an AS-path containing the local AS number can cause routes to be rejected due to loop prevention, the typical symptom is routes not being received at all or being marked as invalid, not the specific 'received but not valid' status. The most common cause for 'not valid' is next-hop unreachability.
B
The next-hop IP address is not reachable.
Correct. For a BGP route to be considered valid and installed in the routing table, the next-hop IP address must be reachable via an IGP or static route. If the next hop is not reachable, the route will appear in the 'show ip bgp' output but be marked as not valid.
C
BGP synchronization is enabled.
Why wrong: This is incorrect. BGP synchronization is a legacy feature that requires the route to be in the IGP before it is advertised. In modern networks, synchronization is disabled by default. Even if enabled, it affects advertisement, not the validity of received routes in the BGP table.
D
The maximum-prefix limit has been exceeded.
Why wrong: This is incorrect. Exceeding the maximum-prefix limit typically causes the BGP session to reset or routes to be withdrawn, not to be marked as 'not valid' in the BGP table. Routes would likely be removed entirely, not just marked invalid.

Question 5easymultiple choice

Open the full BGP breakdown →

A service provider is migrating a customer from a global routing table to a VRF on a Cisco ASR 1000. The customer has a BGP session with the provider for internet access. After moving the customer's interface to VRF CUSTOMER_D, the BGP session goes down. The engineer verifies that the VRF is configured with the correct route-target and that the BGP neighbor is configured under address-family ipv4 vrf CUSTOMER_D. What else is missing?

A
The IP address on the interface was removed when the VRF was applied, and it was not reconfigured.
Correct because the ip vrf forwarding command clears the IP address on the interface, requiring it to be re-entered.
B
The BGP neighbor is not configured with the password command.
Why wrong: Incorrect because a password is not required for BGP to come up.
C
The route-target import/export values are incorrect for the customer.
Why wrong: Incorrect because route-targets affect VPNv4 route distribution, not the BGP session directly.
D
The engineer forgot to configure the VRF under the BGP router-id.
Why wrong: Incorrect because the router-id is global and not VRF-specific.
