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 event manager policy registered
No. Type Time Created Name 1 applet 00:01:23 UTC Mar 1 2025 OSPF_Neighbor_Down
R1# show ip ospf neighbor Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface 10.1.1.2 1 FULL/DR 00:00:36 192.168.1.2 GigabitEthernet0/0
Based on this output, what is the most likely conclusion?
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 EEM policy is registered but not yet triggered because the OSPF neighbor is up.
The EEM policy OSPF_Neighbor_Down is registered, but the OSPF neighbor is in FULL state. The correct answer is that the EEM policy has not been triggered because the OSPF neighbor is up.
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 OSPF neighbor is down.
Why it's wrong here
The neighbor state is FULL, indicating it is up.
- ✗
The EEM policy has been triggered.
Why it's wrong here
There is no evidence of triggering; the neighbor is up.
- ✓
The EEM policy is registered but not yet triggered because the OSPF neighbor is up.
Why this is correct
The neighbor state FULL shows the neighbor is operational, so the down event has not occurred.
- ✗
The EEM policy is misconfigured.
Why it's wrong here
There is no indication of misconfiguration; the policy is registered and ready.

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.
