Question 83

What will be the egress interface if the traffic's ingress interface is ethernet1/6 sourcing from 192.168.111.3 and to the destination 10.46.41.113 during the time shown in the image?

    Correct Answer: D

    The egress interface will be ethernet1/3. According to the policy-based forwarding (PBF) rule defined, the egress interface should be ethernet1/5 if the traffic matches the defined criteria. However, the PBF rule is scheduled to be active only from 16:00 to 21:00 daily. The current time shown in the image is 12:49:55, which is outside the scheduled time for the PBF rule. Therefore, the PBF rule will not be applied, and normal routing will occur. According to the routing table, the next hop for the destination 10.46.41.113 is through ethernet1/3. Thus, the egress interface is ethernet1/3.

Discussion
shetoshandasaOption: D

The answer is D, because current time is outside the scheduled time

QintaoOption: D

D. PBF is to e1/5, but the current time is not in time schedule. the normal routing will go to e1/3

confusionOption: D

D. PBF + schedule for it, but current time is not within the schedule, so normal routing occurs.

ChanderiaOption: D

Answer is D Because in routing longest prefix match is preferred and for 10.46.41.113/32 egress interface is eth1/3

MarshpillowzOption: D

Answer is D

DenskyDenOption: D

D. PBF + schedule is not on par with the current time the traffic was generated.

English error in the question adds confusion. Should be "...at the time shown" and not "...during the time shown" as during = range and the only range shown is that in the scheduler.
