300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command on Router R1: R1# show…
A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1:
R1# show ip vrf interfaces Interface VRF IP Address Protocol
GigabitEthernet0/0 BLUE 10.1.1.1 up GigabitEthernet0/1 BLUE 10.1.2.1 up GigabitEthernet0/2 RED 192.168.1.1 up Loopback0 BLUE 10.0.0.1 up Loopback1 RED 192.168.0.1 up
Based on this output, which statement is correct?

Correct answer & explanation
✓
GigabitEthernet0/2 is in VRF RED with IP address 192.168.1.1.
The 'show ip vrf interfaces' command displays all interfaces assigned to VRFs and their IP addresses. The output shows that GigabitEthernet0/0, GigabitEthernet0/1, and Loopback0 are in VRF BLUE, while GigabitEthernet0/2 and Loopback1 are in VRF RED. There are no interfaces in the global routing table shown here, but that is normal for VRF-Lite.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
All interfaces are in the global routing table.
Why it's wrong here
The output lists each interface against a named VRF (BLUE or RED), so none reside in the global routing table; VRF assignment is shown explicitly in the VRF column. It tempts candidates because interfaces absent from any VRF do sit in the global table, which is the normal default before VRF configuration.
- ✓
GigabitEthernet0/2 is in VRF RED with IP address 192.168.1.1.
Why this is correct
GigabitEthernet0/2 is bound to VRF RED and holds 192.168.1.1, exactly as the `show ip vrf interfaces` output lists it. The command maps each interface to its VRF and assigned address, so the RED row confirms both the VRF membership and the IP, satisfying the question's requirement to interpret the table directly.
- ✗
Loopback0 is in VRF RED.
Why it's wrong here
The output lists Loopback0 against VRF BLUE with address 10.0.0.1; Loopback1, not Loopback0, belongs to RED. It is tempting because both loopbacks appear in the same table and RED is the second VRF shown, so a quick scan can pair the wrong loopback with the wrong VRF.
- ✗
GigabitEthernet0/1 has IP address 10.1.2.2.
Why it's wrong here
GigabitEthernet0/1 is listed with IP address 10.1.2.1, not 10.1.2.2; the .2 host address is not present anywhere in the output. It is tempting because GigabitEthernet0/1 genuinely sits in VRF BLUE, so the interface name and VRF are correct even though the address is misquoted.
