300-410 Practice Question: An engineer configured IP SLA 80 to monitor a…

An engineer configured IP SLA 80 to monitor a remote server (192.168.100.100) using ICMP echo. The IP SLA is used in a track object for a static route. The engineer notices that the IP SLA state is 'Active', but the track object shows 'Down'. What is the most likely cause?

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 track object is configured with a 'delay up' timer that has not yet expired.

The track object can be configured with a threshold (e.g., 'threshold' or 'delay') that causes it to remain 'Down' even if the IP SLA is 'Active'. For example, if the track object has a 'delay up' timer, it will not transition to 'Up' immediately.

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 track object is configured with a 'delay up' timer that has not yet expired.

    Why this is correct

    A 'delay up' timer forces the track to wait before transitioning to 'Up' after the IP SLA becomes 'Active'. This is a common cause of mismatch.

  • ✗

    The IP SLA probe is using a different source IP than expected.

    Why it's wrong here

    Source IP does not affect the track object state; the IP SLA is 'Active'.

  • ✗

    The track object is referencing the wrong IP SLA number.

    Why it's wrong here

    If the track referenced the wrong IP SLA, the track would likely show 'Up' or 'Down' based on that other SLA, but the symptom is a mismatch.

  • ✗

    The router's routing table is full, preventing the track object from updating.

    Why it's wrong here

    Routing table fullness does not affect track object state.
