Question 880
At a logistics WAN in Rotterdam, a post-change check targets this documented issue: A PBR match access-list denies one source and an operator assumes those packets will be dropped by the route-map. Which observation is the strongest evidence that the repair worked?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for pbr acl match semantics. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Recognize ACL deny as no match for that PBR sequence; enforce dropping with a separate filtering policy if required', actually resolved the reported issue at a logistics WAN in Rotterdam. The original failure was: A PBR match access-list denies one source and an operator assumes those packets will be dropped by the route-map.
Incorrect Answers
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 pbr acl match semantics incident at a logistics WAN in Rotterdam, the required acceptance evidence is: Denied-match packets proceed to subsequent PBR evaluation or ordinary forwarding rather than being treated as an ACL block. This other result does not test that condition directly.
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 pbr acl match semantics incident at a logistics WAN in Rotterdam, the required acceptance evidence is: Denied-match packets proceed to subsequent PBR evaluation or ordinary forwarding rather than being treated as an ACL block. 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 pbr acl match semantics incident at a logistics WAN in Rotterdam, the required acceptance evidence is: Denied-match packets proceed to subsequent PBR evaluation or ordinary forwarding rather than being treated as an ACL block. This other result does not test that condition directly.
