When policy-based routing (PBR) is being implemented, which set command will override explicit entries in the routing table?

  • set ip next-hop
  • set default interface
  • set ip precedence
  • set ip default next-hop

Explanation: The set ip next-hop command (without the "default" keyword) causes the router to apply PBR logic before checking the normal destination-based routing table. In contrast, the set ip default next-hop command only applies the policy if the router fails to find an explicit (non-default) match in the routing table.
