   A network administrator is explaining the difference between PBR and traditional routing to a colleague. Which statement accurately describes a key difference?

   • APBR is always faster than traditional routing because it uses hardware offload.
   • BTraditional routing provides more granular control over traffic paths than PBR.
   • CPBR can make forwarding decisions based on source IP, while traditional routing only considers the destination IP.
   • DTraditional routing can match on protocol type, while PBR cannot.

   A campus network uses PBR to send VoIP traffic from a specific subnet to a primary WAN link. The PBR policy sets the next hop to the primary link's gateway. The network team wants to ensure that if the primary link fails, VoIP traffic automatically uses a backup link. What should they configure?

   • AEnable PBR on both links and let the switch choose the best path based on the routing table.
   • BConfigure a tracking object that monitors the primary link's reachability and a fallback action in the PBR policy to use the backup link.
   • CConfigure a static route for the VoIP subnet with a higher administrative distance to the backup link.
   • DRely on the routing protocol to update the routing table and remove the PBR policy.
