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 is forwarded using the routing table.
If no route-map entry matches, the packet is forwarded using the normal routing table lookup. PBR does not drop unmatched packets by default.
