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
✓
show route-map
The 'show route-map' command displays the configured route-map statements and their match/set conditions. The 'show ip policy' command lists interfaces with PBR applied and the associated route-map. 'show ip route' does not show PBR policy details. 'debug ip policy' is a debug command, not a verification show command. 'show access-lists' only shows ACLs, not PBR-specific information.
