Implementing Cisco Enterprise Advanced Routing and Services (ENARSI) — Question 58

An engineer configured policy-based routing for a destination IP address that does not exist in the routing table.
How is the packet treated through the policy for configuring the set ip default next-hop command?

Answer options

• A. Packets are not forwarded to the specific next hop.
• B. Packets are forwarded based on the routing table.
• C. Packets are forwarded based on a static route.
• D. Packets are forwarded to the specific next hop.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the policy-based routing configuration takes precedence, directing packets to the specified next hop regardless of the routing table. The other options are incorrect as they suggest alternative behaviors that do not apply when policy-based routing is active.
