300-410 Routing table summary output Practice Question

This 300-410 practice question tests your understanding of route maps and route filtering. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. A key principle to apply: routing table summary output. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

A network engineer runs the following command to troubleshoot redistribution with route-maps:

R1# show ip route summary

IP routing table name: Default-IP-Routing-Table(0)
IP routing table maximum-paths: 32

What does this output indicate?

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

BGP is not receiving any routes, possibly due to filtering.

The output shows that BGP has zero routes, indicating BGP is not receiving any routes, possibly due to filtering. This is the most significant finding for troubleshooting redistribution. While OSPF does have more routes than EIGRP numerically, that is not directly indicative of redistribution issues and is not the primary takeaway.

Key principle: Routing table summary output

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • BGP is not receiving any routes, possibly due to filtering.

    Why this is correct

    Correct. BGP shows 0 networks and 0 subnets, meaning no routes are being received, likely due to filtering.

    Related concept

    Routing table summary output

  • EIGRP is redistributing routes into OSPF.

    Why it's wrong here

    The summary does not show redistribution; it only shows route counts per source.

  • OSPF has more routes than EIGRP.

    Why this is correct

    Incorrect. Although OSPF has numerically more routes, the question focuses on redistribution troubleshooting, and the absence of BGP routes is more relevant.

    Related concept

    Routing table summary output

  • The router has a total of 13 routes.

    Why it's wrong here

    The total shows 3 networks and 10 subnets, which is 13 routes, but the question asks what the output indicates. Both A and C are correct, but A is more relevant to troubleshooting filtering.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.

Trap categories for this question

  • Command / output trap

    The summary does not show redistribution; it only shows route counts per source.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

Treat this as a scenario question. Identify the problem, the constraint, and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Routing table summary output
  • BGP route filtering

TExam Day Tips

  • Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
  • Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

Real-world example

How this comes up in practice

A network engineer at a university connects two campus buildings via a fibre link. Both routers run OSPF, but no adjacency forms — even though both routers can ping each other. The engineer finds one router is in area 0 and the other in area 1. OSPF adjacency requires matching area numbers, hello/dead timers, and network type. IP reachability alone is not enough.

RIP's 15-hop limit makes it unsuitable for large networks. OSPF and EIGRP dominate modern enterprise deployments.
