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: 0 packets, 0 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
✓
The route-map is correctly configured but no traffic has matched it yet.
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.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The route-map is correctly configured but no traffic has matched it yet.
Why this is correct
The packet counter shows 0 matches, so no packets have triggered PBR.
- ✗
The next-hop 10.1.1.2 is unreachable, causing PBR to fail.
Why it's wrong here
The output does not show reachability; the counter is 0, not errors.
- ✗
The access-list 101 is misconfigured and blocking all traffic.
Why it's wrong here
The route-map shows match clauses, but no indication of ACL misconfiguration.
- ✗
The verify-availability feature is preventing any matches.
Why it's wrong here
verify-availability does not block matches; it only affects forwarding if next-hop is down.
