Correct answer & explanation
✓
Routes with prefix 10.0.0.0/8 or more specific are denied; all others are permitted.
The route-map FILTER is applied inbound. Sequence 10 denies any route matching prefix-list BLOCKED (10.0.0.0/8 and more specific). Sequence 20 permits all other routes. Routes with 10.x.x.x are denied.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
All routes are accepted because the deny statement is misconfigured.
Why it's wrong here
The deny statement is correctly configured and will block matched routes.
- ✓
Routes with prefix 10.0.0.0/8 or more specific are denied; all others are permitted.
Why this is correct
Prefix-list BLOCKED matches 10.0.0.0/8 and any more specific prefix (le 32), so those are denied. Sequence 20 permits the rest.
- ✗
Only routes exactly matching 10.0.0.0/8 are denied; other 10.x.x.x routes are permitted.
Why it's wrong here
The 'le 32' means any prefix length from 8 to 32 is matched, so all 10.x.x.x routes are denied.
- ✗
The route-map is applied outbound, so it affects routes sent to 10.2.2.1.
Why it's wrong here
The keyword 'in' means it is applied to inbound updates.
