Drag and drop the steps to verify and validate Policy-Based Routing (PBR) operational state into the correct order, from first to last.
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
Check interface for PBR enablement (show ip policy)
First, check if PBR is enabled on the interface. Then view the route map statistics and hit counts. Examine the set actions and next-hop status. Use 'show ip policy' to confirm policy map. Finally, use 'show route-map' to validate sequence and matches.

Same concept, more angles
2 more ways 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. A network engineer runs the following command to troubleshoot a Policy-Based Routing (PBR) issue: R1# show route-map PBR-MAP route-map PBR-MAP, permit, sequence 10 Match clauses: ip address (access-lists): 101 Set clauses: ip next-hop 10.1.1.2 Policy routing matches: 50 packets, 6000 bytes What does this output indicate?
easy- ✓ A.PBR is successfully forwarding matching traffic to 10.1.1.2.
- B.The next-hop 10.1.1.2 is not reachable.
- C.The ACL 101 is misconfigured.
- D.PBR is not applied to any interface.
Why A: The output shows that 50 packets have matched the route-map and have been policy-routed to next-hop 10.1.1.2. This indicates PBR is working.
Variation 2. A network engineer runs the following command to troubleshoot a Policy-Based Routing (PBR) issue: R1# show ip policy Interface Route-map FastEthernet0/0 PBR-MAP Serial0/0 PBR-MAP What does this output indicate?
medium- ✓ A.The same route-map is applied to multiple interfaces, which may lead to unintended policy routing.
- B.PBR is applied globally.
- C.The route-map PBR-MAP is misconfigured.
- D.PBR is only active on FastEthernet0/0.
Why A: The output shows that the same route-map PBR-MAP is applied to both FastEthernet0/0 and Serial0/0. This could cause unexpected behavior if the route-map uses interface-specific conditions.
