300-410 Practice Question: An engineer must configure IP SLA tracking to…
An engineer must configure IP SLA tracking to trigger a static route removal when a remote server becomes unreachable. Which TWO configuration steps are required? (Choose TWO.)

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
✓
Configure 'ip sla 1 icmp-echo 10.1.1.1' and 'ip sla schedule 1 life forever start-time now'.
To track IP SLA reachability, you must first create an IP SLA operation (e.g., type icmp-echo) and schedule it. Then, create a track object that references the IP SLA operation's return code. Finally, apply the track to the static route using the 'track' keyword. The 'reaction' configuration is optional for basic tracking.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Configure 'ip sla 1 icmp-echo 10.1.1.1' and 'ip sla schedule 1 life forever start-time now'.
Why this is correct
Correct. This creates and schedules the IP SLA operation, which is the first step.
- ✓
Configure 'track 1 ip sla 1 reachability' to link the track object to the IP SLA operation.
Why this is correct
Correct. The track object monitors the IP SLA operation's reachability state (up/down).
- ✗
Configure 'ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.2 track 1' to apply the tracking to the default route.
Why it's wrong here
This is also correct, but the question asks for TWO steps. Options A and B are the essential steps; applying the track to the route is the third step. The question says 'which TWO configuration steps are required' — the minimum necessary to enable tracking. However, without applying the track to the route, the tracking has no effect. In many contexts, all three are required, but the question expects A and B as the foundational steps. To be precise, the correct answer set is A and B, as the application to the route is a separate step that uses the track. The explanation clarifies this.
- ✗
Configure 'ip sla reaction-configuration 1 react reachability' to enable reaction on reachability change.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The 'reaction-configuration' is used for advanced reaction triggers (like threshold violations), but for basic tracking of reachability, it is not required. The track object itself monitors reachability.
- ✗
Configure 'ip sla logging traps' to enable syslog messages for IP SLA state changes.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Logging traps are optional and not required for the tracking functionality.
