300-410 Practice Question: Consider the following configuration: ``` ip vrf…

Consider the following configuration: ```

ip vrf CUSTOMER_E

rd 200:1 route-target export 200:1 route-target import 200:1 !

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
 ip vrf forwarding CUSTOMER_E
 ip address 172.16.0.1 255.255.255.0

interface GigabitEthernet0/1
 ip vrf forwarding CUSTOMER_E
 ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0

``` What is the effect of the route-target commands in this VRF-Lite scenario?

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 route-targets are ignored because VRF-Lite does not use MP-BGP.

In VRF-Lite, route-targets are not used unless route leaking is configured. They are typically used in MPLS VPN environments. Here, they have no effect because there is no MP-BGP or route leaking configured.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
The route-targets enable automatic route redistribution between VRFs.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Route-targets alone do not enable redistribution; they are used in MP-BGP for route import/export.
✓
The route-targets are ignored because VRF-Lite does not use MP-BGP.
Why this is correct
This is correct. In VRF-Lite, route-targets are not processed unless there is an MP-BGP configuration.
✗
The route-targets cause the VRF to import and export routes from the global routing table.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Route-targets do not interact with the global table directly.
✗
The configuration will fail because route-targets are not allowed in VRF-Lite.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Route-targets are allowed but have no effect without MP-BGP.
