300-410 Route Maps and Route Filtering Practice Question
This 300-410 practice question tests your understanding of route maps and route filtering. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Which TWO statements about the 'match ip address' command within a route-map are true? (Choose TWO.)
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
It can reference a standard access-list, extended access-list, or prefix-list.
The 'match ip address' command can reference either a standard or extended access-list, or a prefix-list. It matches the destination network of the route. It cannot match source address (that would be 'match ip next-hop' or 'match ip route-source'). The command can be used in both permit and deny sequences. A single route-map sequence can have multiple match commands, but they are logically ANDed only if under the same match statement type.
Key principle: NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✓
It can reference a standard access-list, extended access-list, or prefix-list.
Why this is correct
The command accepts access-list numbers/names and prefix-list names.
Related concept
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
✗
It matches the source IP address of the route.
Why it's wrong here
It matches the destination network; source matching uses 'match ip route-source'.
✗
It can only be used in a route-map sequence with a 'permit' clause.
Why it's wrong here
It can be used in both permit and deny sequences.
✓
If multiple access-lists are listed in the same match command, they are evaluated with a logical OR.
Why this is correct
Multiple entries in a single match command are ORed; if any matches, the condition is true.
Related concept
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
✗
The command 'match ip address prefix-list' is not valid.
Why it's wrong here
The syntax 'match ip address prefix-list NAME' is valid and commonly used.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
→Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
→Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
→Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.
Key takeaway
NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A small business has 20 workstations on the 192.168.1.0/24 network and one public IP from its ISP. The router uses PAT (NAT overload) so all 20 devices share one public address using different source ports. NAT questions test whether you understand the four address terms and which direction each translation applies.
