Correct answer & explanation

✓

Create route map with sequence number

First, define the route map with a sequence number. Next, match the interesting traffic using an ACL or prefix list. Then, set the next-hop or interface. Apply the route map under the interface in the inbound direction. Finally, verify with 'show route-map' or 'show ip policy'.

Visual reference

Source Router + ACL permit 10.0.0.0/8 deny any Server 10.0.0.5 ✓ 192.168.1.1 ✗ dropped ACLs evaluate top-down; first match wins — implicit deny all at end

Same concept, more angles

1 more way this is tested on 300-410

These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.

Variation 1. Which TWO configuration steps are required to implement Policy-Based Routing (PBR) on a Cisco router? (Choose TWO.)

easy
  • ✓ A.Create a route-map with match and set commands.
  • ✓ B.Apply the route-map to an interface using the 'ip policy route-map' command.
  • C.Configure an access-list to match the traffic.
  • D.Enable CEF globally.
  • E.Use the 'ip local policy route-map' command.

Why A: Option A is correct because PBR is defined inside a route-map, where 'match' statements identify the traffic (typically via an ACL or prefix-list) and 'set' statements define the forwarding action such as 'set ip next-hop' or 'set interface'. Option B is correct because the route-map must be attached to the ingress interface with the interface-level command 'ip policy route-map <name>' for PBR to take effect on transit traffic. Option C is not required as a separate step because the ACL is referenced within the route-map's match statement rather than configured as an independent mandatory configuration element. Option D is not required because Cisco Express Forwarding is enabled by default on modern Cisco IOS platforms and is not a PBR-specific configuration step. Option E is incorrect for this scenario because 'ip local policy route-map' applies PBR to router-generated (locally sourced) traffic, not to traffic being routed through an interface.
