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
✓
A route-map sequence with no match command matches all routes and applies any set commands.
The continue clause allows a route-map to jump to a later sequence after a match, but not to an earlier one. If a sequence does not have a match statement, it matches all routes by default. The default action for an unmatched route is to deny (implicit deny). The continue clause is processed only if the current sequence matches and the set actions are applied; it does not skip the current sequence's processing. Sequence numbers are evaluated in ascending order, and the first match wins.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
A route-map sequence with no match command matches all routes and applies any set commands.
Why this is correct
Correct. If no match command is configured, the sequence matches all routes by default.
- ✗
The continue clause can cause evaluation to jump to a lower sequence number.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The continue clause only jumps to a higher sequence number (later in the route-map).
- ✗
If a route does not match any sequence, it is permitted by default.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The implicit deny at the end of a route-map denies unmatched routes.
- ✗
When a route matches a sequence with a continue clause, the continue is processed before any set commands in that sequence.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The set commands are applied first, then the continue clause is processed.
- ✓
The continue clause allows a route to be evaluated by a later sequence even if the current sequence matches and applies set actions.
Why this is correct
Correct. After applying set actions, the continue jumps to the specified sequence for further evaluation.
