Which statement about the route-map based redistribution of static routes is true when using 'redistribute static route-map connected-routes' with a permit in the route map named 'connected-routes'?

Which statement about the route-map based redistribution of static routes is true when using 'redistribute static route-map connected-routes' with a permit in the route map named 'connected-routes'?

• A. The command will redistribute all static routes without any match in the route map
• B. The command will redistribute all static routes with a denial in the route map
• C. The command will redistribute all static routes with a matching permit in the route map 'connected-routes'
• D. The command will not redistribute any static routes unless explicitly denied

Answer: (C)

Route-map filtering controls what gets redistributed. When you issue a redistribution command that references a route-map, the router checks every static route against that route-map. If a route matches a permit statement, it is eligible to be redistributed into the target protocol. If it doesn’t match or hits a deny clause (or there’s no match at all), it is not redistributed. So, with the route-map named connected-routes and a permit inside it, the command will redistribute only those static routes that match that permit. Routes that don’t match are blocked by the route-map’s implicit deny. This is why the correct behavior is redistributing the static routes with a matching permit in the route map.
