300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command to troubleshoot a VRF…
A network engineer runs the following command to troubleshoot a VRF route issue:
R1# show ip route vrf CUSTOMER summary IP routing table name is CUSTOMER (0x1) IP routing table maximum-paths is 32
Route Source Networks Subnets Overhead Memory (bytes) connected 2 0 0 320 static 1 0 0 160 eigrp 100 3 0 0 480 Internal 3 Total 6 0 0 960
What does this output indicate?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the ability to interpret the 'summary' keyword output, where candidates may mistakenly think the table is empty or only contains connected routes if they overlook the route source breakdown.
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
✓
The VRF CUSTOMER routing table has 6 routes, including static and EIGRP routes.
The output shows the VRF CUSTOMER routing table summary, listing 2 connected routes, 1 static route, and 3 EIGRP routes, totaling 6 routes. This confirms that the VRF contains routes from multiple sources, including static and EIGRP, making option A correct.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The VRF CUSTOMER routing table has 6 routes, including static and EIGRP routes.
Why this is correct
The summary shows connected, static, and EIGRP routes totaling 6.
- ✗
The VRF CUSTOMER routing table is empty.
Why it's wrong here
There are 6 routes.
- ✗
The VRF CUSTOMER has only connected routes.
Why it's wrong here
Static and EIGRP routes are also present.
- ✗
The VRF CUSTOMER routing table has an error due to overlapping subnets.
Why it's wrong here
No error is indicated in the summary.

Quick reference
Routing Protocol Comparison
| Protocol | Metric | Max Hops | Algorithm | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RIP v2 | Hop count | 15 | Bellman-Ford | Distance vector |
| OSPF | Cost (bandwidth) | Unlimited | Dijkstra (SPF) | Link state |
| EIGRP | Composite metric | Unlimited | DUAL | Hybrid |
| IS-IS | Cost | Unlimited | Dijkstra | Link state |
| BGP | Policy / attributes | Unlimited | Path vector | Path vector |
RIP's 15-hop limit makes it unsuitable for large networks. OSPF and EIGRP dominate modern enterprise deployments.
