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.

Key term
MPLS Layer 2 VPN
An MPLS Layer 2 VPN is a virtual private network technology that connects two or more customer sites at the data link layer, allowing them to communicate as if they were on the same local Ethernet segment, while using a service provider’s MPLS backbone.
Key term
MPLS Layer 3 VPN
A technology that uses Multiprotocol Label Switching to create secure, scalable virtual private networks that connect multiple sites at the network layer, where the service provider manages routing between customer sites.
