300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command on Router R1: R1# show…

A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1:

R1# show ip policy
Interface     Route-map

GigabitEthernet0/0 PBR-VOICE

R1# show route-map PBR-VOICE

route-map PBR-VOICE, permit, sequence 10 Match clauses:

ip address (access-lists): 130

Set clauses:

ip next-hop 192.168.10.1

Policy routing matches: 0 packets, 0 bytes

R1# show access-lists 130

Extended IP access list 130

10 permit udp any any range 16384 32767

R1# show interfaces GigabitEthernet0/0

GigabitEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up Internet address is 10.1.1.1/24

R1# show ip route 192.168.10.1

% Network not in routing table

Based on this output, what is the most likely problem?

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 next-hop 192.168.10.1 is not reachable.

The next-hop 192.168.10.1 is not in the routing table. For PBR to forward packets to a next-hop, that next-hop must be reachable (in the routing table). If it is not, packets that match the route map are forwarded using the normal routing table instead. The zero matches could be because no traffic matching ACL 130 has arrived, or because the next-hop is missing, but the missing route is a clear issue.

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 access list 130 is not matching any traffic.

    Why it's wrong here

    While possible, the missing route is a more direct problem.

  • The next-hop 192.168.10.1 is not reachable.

    Why this is correct

    The show ip route output indicates the network is not in the routing table, so the next-hop is unreachable, causing PBR to fail to apply the set clause.

  • The interface GigabitEthernet0/0 is down.

    Why it's wrong here

    The show interfaces output shows it is up.

  • The route map is missing a permit statement.

    Why it's wrong here

    The route map has a permit statement.
