Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Overview of PBR (Policy-Based Routing):

Policy-Based Routing (PBR) allows you to override traditional routing decisions by defining user-specific policies.

Interface-Based PBR: Applied to packets arriving at a specific interface and affects traffic being forwarded through the device.

Local PBR: Applied to traffic generated by the local router itself (e.g., locally originated packets such as management traffic).

2. Analysis of Each Statement:

Option A: Interface-based PBR takes effect only for forwarded packets.

Correct (True Statement).

Interface-based PBR applies only to packets arriving at a specific interface and being forwarded through the router. It does not affect locally originated traffic.

Option B: Local PBR takes effect only for locally originated packets.

Correct (True Statement).

Local PBR specifically applies to traffic generated by the router itself, such as pings, SNMP requests, or routing protocol updates.

Option C: Interface-based PBR is configured on an interface and takes effect only for incoming packets on the interface.

Correct (True Statement).

Interface-based PBR is applied directly on the interface using commands like policy-based-route. It only affects traffic entering the specified interface.

Option D: Local PBR is configured in the protocol view.

Incorrect (False Statement).

Local PBR is not configured in the protocol view. It is typically configured using the command local-policy in the system view to handle traffic generated by the router.

3. Summary:

Correct Answer: D (Local PBR is NOT configured in the protocol view).

In the provided configuration, IS-IS is enabled on Loopback0 but not on Loopback3 of R2. As a result, R2 will advertise the route 10.0.2.2/32 (from Loopback0) to R1 through IS-IS. However, the route 10.0.2.3/32 will not be advertised because IS-IS is not enabled on that loopback interface. The import-route direct command does not override this behavior ​.

The asbr-summary command is executed in the global OSPF view to summarize external routes. The abr-summary command is executed in the OSPF area view to summarize routes between areas. By default, the advertise parameter is enabled unless explicitly overridden by the not-advertise option ​.

Explanation of VRRP Roles and Their Functions:

In VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol), devices are assigned roles as either Master or Backup after an election process. Each role has specific responsibilities to ensure the availability of the virtual IP address.

Matching Roles and Mechanisms:

Master:

Periodically send VRRP Advertisement packets.

The Master device sends advertisement packets to inform Backup devices that it is active.

Respond to an ARP request destined for a virtual IP address with an ARP reply carrying the virtual MAC address.

The Master device is responsible for responding to ARP requests for the virtual IP and forwarding traffic for it.

Backup:

Transition from Master to Backup immediately if a VRRP Advertisement packet with a higher priority is received.

A Backup device becomes Master only if the current Master stops sending advertisement packets or has a lower priority.

Discard IP packets destined for the virtual IP address.

Backup devices do not process traffic for the virtual IP address unless they become the Master.
