Which statement correctly defines one major difference between route maps and access lists?
- Access lists can use a match and set commands to modify the packet.
- Route maps can use the set commands to modify the packet or route.
- Route maps can use the set commands to modify the packet header.
- Route maps can use a forward command to route the packet.
Explanation: Route maps are more sophisticated than access lists, operating with logic similar to if-then scripts. While access lists are primarily designed for simple filtering (permit/deny), the major difference is that route maps use match commands to identify conditions and set commands to modify attributes of the packet or route. These set commands allow administrators to change specific characteristics, such as routing metrics during redistribution or next-hop addresses in Policy-Based Routing.
