Question 470
After implementing a correction at a retail network core in Chicago, engineers must verify that this original problem is resolved: A prefix policy meant to constrain inbound BGP routes is applied only outbound to the peer. Which observed result BEST demonstrates success?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for route-map attachment direction. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Apply the appropriate prefix filter or route-map to the intended neighbor and inbound direction', actually resolved the reported issue at a retail network core in Chicago. The original failure was: A prefix policy meant to constrain inbound BGP routes is applied only outbound to the peer.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies ospf authentication mismatch in a different situation, such as when an OSPF neighbor receives hellos but rejects authenticated packets because key or mode differs across the link. For the reported route-map attachment direction incident at a retail network core in Chicago, the required acceptance evidence is: Incoming advertisements are filtered in the received path set rather than only changing what is sent outward. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies same-prefix administrative distance in a different situation, such as when an internal EIGRP route and an OSPF route advertise the identical IPv4 prefix, but the engineer expects OSPF to win solely because its interface cost is lower. For the reported route-map attachment direction incident at a retail network core in Chicago, the required acceptance evidence is: Incoming advertisements are filtered in the received path set rather than only changing what is sent outward. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies ospf cost path choice in a different situation, such as when an engineer expects OSPF to choose the highest interface speed but configured interface cost forces a different path. For the reported route-map attachment direction incident at a retail network core in Chicago, the required acceptance evidence is: Incoming advertisements are filtered in the received path set rather than only changing what is sent outward. This other result does not test that condition directly.
