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 tracking object can monitor the state of an IP SLA operation and change state when the operation fails.
Object tracking allows IP SLA operations to influence routing decisions. The 'track' command is used to create a tracking object that monitors the state of an IP SLA operation. When the IP SLA operation fails, the tracked object changes state, which can then be used to adjust routing, such as floating static routes. The tracking object can be referenced by multiple routing protocols or static routes. The tracking object does not directly modify the routing table; it provides a state that other features use. The IP SLA operation must be configured before the tracking object can reference it.
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 tracking object can monitor the state of an IP SLA operation and change state when the operation fails.
Why this is correct
Correct because the tracking object uses the IP SLA operation's success/failure to determine its own state (up/down).
- ✓
The 'track' command is used to create a tracking object that references an IP SLA operation by its operation number.
Why this is correct
Correct because the syntax is 'track object-id ip sla operation-number state' or similar, linking the tracker to the IP SLA probe.
- ✗
Object tracking can only be used with static routes, not with dynamic routing protocols like EIGRP or OSPF.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because object tracking can be used with dynamic routing protocols via route policy or conditional advertisement, though static routes are the most common use.
- ✗
The tracking object automatically modifies the routing table when the IP SLA operation fails.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because the tracking object only provides state information; the routing change must be configured separately (e.g., using a floating static route with the track option).
- ✗
An IP SLA operation can be configured after the tracking object that references it.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because the tracking object requires the IP SLA operation to exist first; otherwise, the tracker will be in an error state.
Quick reference
Routing Protocol Comparison
| Protocol | Metric | Max Hops | Algorithm | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RIP v2 | Hop count | 15 | Bellman-Ford | Distance vector |
| OSPF | Cost (bandwidth) | Unlimited | Dijkstra (SPF) | Link state |
| EIGRP | Composite metric | Unlimited | DUAL | Hybrid |
| IS-IS | Cost | Unlimited | Dijkstra | Link state |
| BGP | Policy / attributes | Unlimited | Path vector | Path vector |
RIP's 15-hop limit makes it unsuitable for large networks. OSPF and EIGRP dominate modern enterprise deployments.
