Regarding Policy Routing, the following description error is ?( Single choice questions).

Full set: 607 questions
Answer options
A: When configuring local policy routing, if two next hop and two outbound interfaces are set in the policy at the same time, packet forwarding only distributes the load between the two outbound interfaces.
B: Interface policy routing is only supported for application in the inbound direction of an interface.
C: Interface policy routing only takes effect for forwarded packets, but has no effect on packets sent locally.
D: If the message matches the permit table entry in the interface policy route , the message must be forwarded according to the next hop specified by the interface policy route Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. If the message matches the permit table entry in the interface policy route , the message must be forwarded according to the next hop specified by the interface policy route
Explanation

The statement that a matched packet must be forwarded according to the policy-based route (PBR) is incorrect. If the next hop specified in the PBR policy is unreachable or the outbound interface is down, the router will not use the policy. Instead, it will ignore that PBR rule and fall back to forwarding the packet based on the destination IP address lookup in the main IP routing table (FIB). PBR provides a preferred path, not a guaranteed one under all network conditions.

Why Incorrect

A. This is a correct statement. When both next-hop and outbound interface are set, the interface takes precedence for load balancing.
B. This is a correct statement. Interface PBR is applied to traffic entering an interface to influence its forwarding decision.
C. This is a correct statement. Interface PBR affects transit traffic, while local PBR is required for traffic originating from the router itself.
