CCIE Routing and Switching (legacy) — Question 27

Which option describes the effect of the command ip route vrf DMZ 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 172.16.5.5 global?

Answer options

• A. It creates a static route in the VRF DMZ for 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0, and the nexthop is in the global routing table.
• B. It creates a static route in the global routing table for 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0, and the next hop is in the VRF DMZ.
• C. It creates a static route in the VRF DMZ for 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0, and the next hop is in the VRF DMZ.
• D. It creates a static route in the global routing table for 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0, and the next hop is in the global routing table.
• E. It creates a static default route in the VRF DMZ, and the next hop is in the global routing table.

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The command ip route vrf DMZ 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 172.16.5.5 global configures a static default route within the specified VRF DMZ, directing traffic to the global routing table's next hop. Options A, B, C, and D incorrectly describe the route's VRF context or the location of the next hop, failing to acknowledge the correct association with the global routing table.
