- A
All connected routes will be redistributed into EIGRP with a metric of 100.
Why wrong: Only routes matching the ACL (10.0.0.0/8) will be redistributed; others are denied by the ACL.
- B
Only connected routes with a prefix matching 10.0.0.0/8 will be redistributed into EIGRP with metric 100; all other connected routes are not redistributed.
The route-map matches the ACL, which permits only 10.0.0.0/8. The set metric applies to matched routes. The deny statement in the ACL causes other routes to be denied by the route-map.
- C
No routes will be redistributed because the route-map sequence number is not specified.
Why wrong: Route-map sequence numbers are optional; if omitted, the sequence number defaults to 10. The configuration is valid.
- D
The redistribution will fail because the route-map must specify a metric for EIGRP redistribution.
Why wrong: The route-map does specify a metric via set metric 100. Even if it didn't, redistribution would still occur but might require a default metric.
Quick Answer
The correct answer is that only connected routes with a prefix matching 10.0.0.0/8 will be redistributed into EIGRP with metric 100, while all other connected routes are excluded. This happens because the route-map RMAP, applied to the redistribute connected command, uses match ip address FILTER, which permits only the 10.0.0.0/8 range; any route not matching that ACL is implicitly denied, and since the ACL ends with a deny any any, no other connected routes pass through. On the Cisco CCNP ENARSI 300-410 exam, this scenario tests your understanding of how route-maps filter redistribution—specifically that a route-map used with redistribute connected does not automatically permit all routes; it only permits those matching the ACL, and the set metric command applies only to matched routes. A common trap is assuming the route-map’s permit statement alone allows all connected routes, but the ACL inside it controls the actual match. Memory tip: think of the route-map as a bouncer—only routes with the right “ID” (the ACL prefix) get in and receive the metric stamp.
300-410 Device Management Practice Question
This 300-410 practice question tests your understanding of device management. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Given the following partial configuration on router R3:
ip access-list extended FILTER permit ip 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any deny ip any any
! route-map RMAP permit 10 match ip address FILTER set metric 100 !
router eigrp 100
redistribute connected route-map RMAP
What is the effect of this configuration?

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
Only connected routes with a prefix matching 10.0.0.0/8 will be redistributed into EIGRP with metric 100; all other connected routes are not redistributed.
The route-map RMAP is configured to permit routes matching ACL FILTER (which permits 10.0.0.0/8) and set their metric to 100. However, the route-map is applied to redistribution of connected routes. Only connected routes that match the ACL will be redistributed; the set metric command will apply metric 100 to those routes. Routes not matching the ACL will be denied (since the ACL denies all other traffic) and not redistributed.
Key principle: ACLs process entries top to bottom and stop at the first match. Entry order and interface direction matter as much as the permit or deny statement.
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 connected routes will be redistributed into EIGRP with a metric of 100.
Why it's wrong here
Only routes matching the ACL (10.0.0.0/8) will be redistributed; others are denied by the ACL.
- ✓
Only connected routes with a prefix matching 10.0.0.0/8 will be redistributed into EIGRP with metric 100; all other connected routes are not redistributed.
- ✗
No routes will be redistributed because the route-map sequence number is not specified.
Why it's wrong here
Route-map sequence numbers are optional; if omitted, the sequence number defaults to 10. The configuration is valid.
- ✗
The redistribution will fail because the route-map must specify a metric for EIGRP redistribution.
Why it's wrong here
The route-map does specify a metric via set metric 100. Even if it didn't, redistribution would still occur but might require a default metric.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: ACLs stop at the first match
ACLs are processed top to bottom. The first matching entry wins, and an implicit deny usually exists at the end.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
ACL questions test precision: source, destination, protocol, port and direction. A generally correct ACL can still fail if it is applied on the wrong interface or in the wrong direction.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Standard ACLs match source addresses.
- Extended ACLs can match source, destination, protocol and ports.
- The first matching ACL entry is used.
- There is usually an implicit deny at the end.
TExam Day Tips
- Check inbound versus outbound direction.
- Read the ACL from top to bottom.
- Look for a broader permit or deny above the intended line.
Key takeaway
ACLs process entries top to bottom and stop at the first match. Entry order and interface direction matter as much as the permit or deny statement.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A security administrator must allow nursing staff to reach a patient records server while blocking access from the guest Wi-Fi VLAN. After applying an extended ACL, traffic is still blocked from nursing workstations. The ACL was applied outbound instead of inbound on the wrong interface. Questions like this test ACL direction and placement rules.
What to study next
Got this wrong? Here's your next step.
Review ACL processing order, placement rules (standard near destination, extended near source), and inbound vs outbound direction. Study wildcard masks and implicit deny. Then practise related 300-410 ACL questions on filtering logic and placement.
