What happens to packets that do not meet any of the defined match criteria of a route map?

  • They are flagged as undeliverable.
  • They are dropped.
  • They are routed through the normal routing process for forwarding.
  • They are routed using the default route.

Explanation: In the context of Policy-Based Routing (PBR), if a packet does not match any of the criteria defined in the route map, or if the set actions cannot be performed (e.g., the next-hop is unreachable), the packet is not dropped. Instead, it falls back to the normal destination-based routing process using the routing table.
