   An administrator configured PBR on a Dell PowerSwitch to send traffic from the finance department (source 10.50.0.0/16) to a logging appliance at 10.60.0.10. The route map is named 'FIN-PBR' and is applied to interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1. After testing, the administrator finds that traffic is not being redirected. The 'show route-map FIN-PBR' output shows that the match counter is not incrementing. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe route map is applied to the wrong interface; it should be applied to the egress interface where the traffic exits.
   • BThe access list used in the route map is not matching the finance subnet correctly.
   • CThe switch's routing table has a more specific route to the logging appliance that overrides PBR.
   • DThe logging appliance at 10.60.0.10 is not reachable from the switch.

   A network administrator is planning to implement PBR on a Dell PowerSwitch to improve network performance. The goal is to send large data transfers from the storage subnet (10.90.0.0/16) over a dedicated high-bandwidth link, while other traffic uses the standard link. The administrator wants to verify that the PBR policy is working after implementation. Which verification method provides the most direct evidence that the policy is being applied?

   • ACheck the 'show mac address-table' output to see if the storage subnet's MAC addresses are learned on the high-bandwidth link interface.
   • BCheck the 'show route-map' output for match counters that increment when storage traffic is sent.
   • CCheck the 'show ip route' output to see if the storage subnet has a specific route to the high-bandwidth link.
   • DCheck the 'show interfaces' output to see if the high-bandwidth link interface is receiving traffic.

   A company wants to use PBR on its Dell PowerSwitch to ensure that traffic from the research department (10.70.0.0/16) is sent to a high-performance WAN link, while all other traffic uses the standard WAN link. The administrator has configured a route map and applied it to the research VLAN interface. Which additional configuration is required to ensure that the research traffic is sent to the high-performance WAN link?

   • AA 'match ip address' command in the route map that specifies the research subnet.
   • BA 'set ip default next-hop' command in the route map that specifies the high-performance WAN router's IP address.
   • CA 'set interface' command in the route map that specifies the egress interface for the high-performance WAN link.
   • DA 'set ip next-hop' command in the route map that specifies the high-performance WAN router's IP address.
