A network engineer runs the following command to troubleshoot a Policy-Based Routing (PBR) issue:

R1# debug ip policy

Policy routing debugging is on R1#

*Mar  1 00:10:45.456: IP: s=172.16.1.5 (FastEthernet0/0), d=8.8.8.8, len 64, policy match
*Mar  1 00:10:45.456: IP: s=172.16.1.5 (FastEthernet0/0), d=8.8.8.8, len 64, policy routed
*Mar  1 00:10:45.456: IP: FastEthernet0/0 to Serial0/0 10.1.1.2

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 packet was successfully policy-routed to 10.1.1.2 via Serial0/0.

The debug shows a packet from 172.16.1.5 to 8.8.8.8 that matched the policy and was routed out of Serial0/0 to next-hop 10.1.1.2. This indicates successful PBR operation.

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 packet was successfully policy-routed to 10.1.1.2 via Serial0/0.

    Why this is correct

    The output shows 'policy routed' and the egress interface and next-hop.

  • ✗

    The packet was dropped due to no matching route.

    Why it's wrong here

    The packet was routed, not dropped.

  • ✗

    The next-hop 10.1.1.2 is unreachable.

    Why it's wrong here

    If unreachable, the packet would be rejected, not routed.

  • ✗

    The route-map is misconfigured with wrong ACL.

    Why it's wrong here

    The packet matched, so ACL is correct.
