Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 818

When the “deny” statement is used within a route map that is used for policy-based routing, how is the traffic that matches the deny route-map line treated?

Answer options

• A. Traffic is routed to the null 0 interface of the router and discarded.
• B. Traffic is returned to the normal forwarding behavior of the router.
• C. An additional sequential route-map line is needed to divert the traffic to the router's normal forwarding behavior.
• D. An additional sequential route-map line is needed to policy route this traffic.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because when traffic matches a deny statement in a route map, it does not get dropped but instead defaults back to the router's normal forwarding process. Options A, C, and D incorrectly suggest that traffic would be discarded or require additional configuration to revert to standard behavior, which is not the case.
