300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command on Router R1: R1# show…

A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1:

R1# show route-map TEST

route-map TEST, permit, sequence 10 Match clauses:

ip address (access-lists): 10

Set clauses: metric 50 route-map TEST, deny, sequence 20 Match clauses:

ip address (access-lists): 20

Set clauses:

Based on this output, what is the effect of this route-map when applied to a redistribution command?

⚠ Common exam trap

Cisco often tests the implicit deny at the end of a route-map, leading candidates to forget that unmatched routes are denied, not permitted with default values.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Routes matching ACL 10 are redistributed with metric 50; routes matching ACL 20 are denied; all other routes are also denied.

Route-map TEST processes sequences in order. Sequence 10 permits routes matching ACL 10 and sets their metric to 50. Sequence 20 denies routes matching ACL 20. Since there is no explicit permit for other routes, the implicit deny at the end of the route-map denies all unmatched routes. Thus, only routes matching ACL 10 are redistributed with metric 50.

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 redistributed with metric 50.

    Why it's wrong here

    Only routes matching ACL 10 get metric 50; others are denied.

  • Routes matching ACL 10 are redistributed with metric 50; routes matching ACL 20 are denied; all other routes are also denied.

    Why this is correct

    This matches the route-map logic.

  • Routes matching ACL 20 are redistributed with default metric.

    Why it's wrong here

    Sequence 20 is deny, so those routes are not redistributed.

  • The route-map has no effect because set clauses are missing in sequence 20.

    Why it's wrong here

    The deny action still prevents redistribution.
