   A financial services firm runs a Dell PowerSwitch data center network. The security team requires that all traffic from the HR application subnet (10.10.5.0/24) to the internet be inspected by an inline security appliance at 10.10.255.10, while all other subnets use the default gateway. The network engineer must implement this without changing the existing static default route. Which approach should the engineer take?

   • AReplace the existing static default route with a more specific static route for 10.10.5.0/24 pointing to 10.10.255.10.
   • BAdd an access control list on the HR subnet interface that redirects all outbound traffic to the security appliance using a policy-map.
   • CCreate a route map that matches the HR source subnet and sets the next hop to 10.10.255.10, then apply it as policy-based routing on the HR subnet's ingress interface.
   • DConfigure a VRF for the HR subnet with a separate routing table that has a default route pointing to the security appliance.

   A network administrator is troubleshooting PBR on a Dell PowerSwitch. The route map is correctly configured and applied to the ingress interface. However, traffic is not being redirected as expected. The administrator suspects that the next-hop address is unreachable. Which command should the administrator use to verify the reachability of the next-hop address?

   • Ashow arp 10.20.0.1
   • Bping 10.20.0.1
   • Cshow ip route 10.20.0.1
   • Dshow interfaces | include 10.20.0.1

   A network engineer configured PBR on a Dell PowerSwitch to send VoIP traffic to a specific gateway. After implementation, the engineer notices that some VoIP traffic is still using the default route. The 'show route-map' output shows that the match counter is incrementing for the VoIP traffic, but the traffic is not being redirected. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

   • AThe next-hop address in the 'set ip next-hop' command is unreachable from the switch.
   • BThe switch's routing table has a more specific route to the VoIP gateway that overrides PBR.
   • CThe route map is applied to the egress interface instead of the ingress interface.
   • DThe access list used in the route map is incorrectly matching the VoIP traffic.
