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
ip next-hop verify-availabilityPolicy routing matches: 100 packets, 12000 bytes
What does this output indicate?
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
✓
PBR is successfully forwarding traffic matching ACL 101 to next-hop 10.1.1.2.
The output shows that 100 packets have matched the route-map and have been policy-routed. This indicates PBR is functioning correctly.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
PBR is successfully forwarding traffic matching ACL 101 to next-hop 10.1.1.2.
Why this is correct
The packet counter increments, showing successful policy routing.
- ✗
The next-hop 10.1.1.2 is unreachable.
Why it's wrong here
If unreachable, packets would be rejected, not counted as matches.
- ✗
The route-map is not applied to any interface.
Why it's wrong here
The counter shows packets are being matched, so it is applied.
- ✗
The ACL 101 is blocking all traffic.
Why it's wrong here
If blocked, no matches would occur.

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 ip next-hop verify-availability Policy routing matches: 0 packets, 0 bytes What does this output indicate?
medium- ✓ A.The route-map is correctly configured but no traffic has matched it yet.
- B.The next-hop 10.1.1.2 is unreachable, causing PBR to fail.
- C.The access-list 101 is misconfigured and blocking all traffic.
- D.The verify-availability feature is preventing any matches.
Why A: The output shows that the route-map PBR-MAP has a match clause referencing access-list 101 and a set clause with next-hop 10.1.1.2 and next-hop verify-availability. The packet counter is 0, meaning no packets have been policy-routed yet.
