300-410 Practice Question: Configured IP SLA 30 to monitor the reachability…
A network engineer configured IP SLA 30 to monitor the reachability of a server (10.10.10.10) using ICMP echo probes. The IP SLA is linked to a track object that is used in a static default route. The engineer notices that the IP SLA state is 'Active', but the static route is not present in the routing table. The track object shows 'Up'. What should the engineer check first?
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
✓
Verify that the static route includes the 'track' keyword and references the correct track object number.
If the track object is up and the static route is not installed, the issue is likely that the static route configuration does not properly reference the track object, or the route is being overridden by another route with lower administrative distance.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Verify that the static route includes the 'track' keyword and references the correct track object number.
Why this is correct
The static route must be configured with 'ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 <next-hop> track <track-number>'. If missing or wrong track number, the route will not be installed.
- ✗
Check if the server is responding to ICMP echo requests.
Why it's wrong here
The IP SLA is 'Active', so the server is responding.
- ✗
Ensure the IP SLA probe is configured with a timeout value less than the frequency.
Why it's wrong here
Timeout configuration does not affect route installation; it only affects probe failure detection.
- ✗
Reboot the router to clear any routing table inconsistencies.
Why it's wrong here
Rebooting is unnecessary; the issue is configuration-related.
