Question 662 of 2,152
IPv6 Traffic Filtering and uRPFhardDrag & DropObjective-mapped

Quick Answer

The correct troubleshooting order for uRPF and IPv6 ACLs begins by verifying the uRPF configuration on the interface, then checking the routing table for the source prefix, inspecting ACLs that may block traffic, examining uRPF drop counters, and finally using debug ipv6 packet to capture dropped packets. This sequence is critical because uRPF validates the source address against the routing table before any ACL processing occurs, so misconfigurations or missing routes must be identified first to avoid chasing false ACL-related drops. On the Cisco CCNP ENARSI 300-410 exam, this drag-and-drop question tests your ability to logically isolate whether a failure is due to reverse path forwarding, a routing table gap, or an ACL rule, with a common trap being to jump straight to debugging without first confirming the uRPF mode (strict or loose) or the presence of a default route. Remember the mnemonic “CRAD” for the order: Configuration, Route, ACL, Drops, then Debug.

300-410 IPv6 Traffic Filtering and uRPF Practice Question

This 300-410 practice question tests your understanding of ipv6 traffic filtering and urpf. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. 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.

Drag and drop the steps to troubleshoot IPv6 traffic filtering and uRPF adjacency or connectivity failures into the correct order, from first to last.

Correct answer & explanation

Check uRPF configuration on the interface

Troubleshooting starts with checking the uRPF configuration on the interface, then verifying the routing table for the source prefix, checking for ACLs that might block traffic, examining uRPF drop counters, and finally using debug ipv6 packet to capture dropped packets.

Key principle: OSPF neighbour adjacency depends on matching area, hello/dead timers, network type, and authentication — IP reachability alone is not enough.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: OSPF can fail even when IP connectivity looks correct

OSPF neighbour formation depends on matching areas, timers, network type, authentication and passive-interface behaviour. Do not choose an answer only because the devices can ping.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

OSPF questions usually test the details that control adjacency and route selection. Read the neighbour state, area, router ID and interface configuration before deciding what is wrong.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • OSPF neighbours must agree on key parameters.
  • Router ID selection can affect neighbour relationships and LSDB output.
  • OSPF cost influences the preferred path.
  • A route can appear in OSPF information but not become the installed route.

TExam Day Tips

  • Check area mismatch first when OSPF adjacency fails.
  • Review passive interfaces when a network is advertised but no neighbour forms.
  • Use show ip ospf neighbor and show ip route clues carefully.

Key takeaway

OSPF neighbour adjacency depends on matching area, hello/dead timers, network type, and authentication — IP reachability alone is not enough.

Real-world example

How this comes up in practice

A network engineer at a university connects two campus buildings via a fibre link. Both routers run OSPF, but no adjacency forms — even though both routers can ping each other. The engineer finds one router is in area 0 and the other in area 1. OSPF adjacency requires matching area numbers, hello/dead timers, and network type. IP reachability alone is not enough.

What to study next

Got this wrong? Here's your next step.

Review OSPF neighbour requirements — matching area type, hello and dead timers, network type, stub flags, and authentication. Study show ip ospf neighbor states (INIT, 2-WAY, FULL). Then practise related 300-410 OSPF questions on adjacency and route selection.
