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 denies all routes by default.
Why it's wrong here
No, an empty route-map with permit permits all routes.
- ✓
It permits all routes and applies no changes.
Why this is correct
Correct. An empty permit route-map matches everything and does nothing.
- ✗
It permits all routes and sets the metric to 0.
Why it's wrong here
No set clause is present, so no metric change occurs.
- ✗
It denies all routes and logs the action.
Why it's wrong here
No, the default action for permit is to permit; deny must be explicitly configured.
