D is correct, but for this reason. Note the !A in the output. This means that the response was administratively prohibited by an ACL. This limits the answer to either A or D. Given we see the !A at fa0/1 of R3, the D is the answer.

Selected Answer: D
Its clearly D and !A gives it away. The ! indicates that .6 did reply and the A means it was administratively prohibited.. Hence ACL... https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ios-nx-os-software/ios-software-releases-121-mainline/12778-ping-traceroute.html

Put the ACL to the loopback interface will not work The loopback interface is a control-plane interface so because is a logical interface the ACL will not block the traffic.

The only way in this scenario is to apply the ACL in the physical interface facing R2 to the R3 router: R3#show running-config interface ethernet 0/1 Building configuration... Current configuration : 103 bytes ! interface Ethernet0/1 ip address 10.99.69.6 255.255.255.252 ip access-group 1 in duplex auto end R1#traceroute Protocol [ip]: ip Target IP address: 3.3.3.3 Ingress traceroute [n]: n Source address: 1.1.1.1 Numeric display [n]: Timeout in seconds [3]: Probe count [3]: Minimum Time to Live [1]: Maximum Time to Live [30]: Port Number [33434]: Loose, Strict, Record, Timestamp, Verbose[none]: Type escape sequence to abort.

What you can do instead is doing some policing to the control plane instead? Why? Because the loopback interface is a logical interface so is an interface controlled by the Control Plane (The control plane is generally considered to be where a router or switch makes its decisions. This is software based, and uses the CPU rather than specialised hardware, such as an ASIC).

Here the config: class-map match-all DENY-TRAFFIC-TO-LOOPBACK match access-group 1 policy-map DENY-TRAFFIC-TO-LOOPBACK class DENY-TRAFFIC-TO-LOOPBACK police 8000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop control-plane service-policy input DENY-TRAFFIC-TO-LOOPBACK In this case in the ACL we don't use the deny statement but the permit statement because we permit to the traffic sourced by the host 1.1.1.1 to be policed. R3#show access-lists 1 Standard IP access list 1 10 permit 1.1.1.1 (5234 matches) 20 permit any (77 matches)

D - is the answer take a look at the end "!A" which means filtered by an Access List - Administratively prohibited !

Ref: what !A in traceroute output - Cisco Community Post by glen.grant “… Administratively unreachable. Usually, this output indicates that an access list is blocking traffic.” A. An ACL applied inbound on loopback0 of R2 is dropping the traffic. Wrong answer. B. The loopback on R3 is in a shutdown state. Wrong answer. C. Redistribution of connected routes into OSPF is not configured. Wrong answer. D. An ACL applied inbound on fa0/1 of R3 is dropping the traffic. Correct answer.

A is the correct answer and there is why: B - if loopback on R3 would be in shutdown state then 3.3.3.3 would not be in the routing table of R1. OSPF does not propagate networks configured on shutdown interfaces. In the result there would not be any hops in the output. C - from perspective of R3, network configured on loopback interface is in "Connected" state, so if redistribution of connected routes would not be configured then 3.3.3.3 would not be propagated to R1. The result would be the same as in B D - if ACL would drop inbound traffic of Fa0/1 then in the output would not be adress 10.99.69.6 (second hop). Remember, if router decrement TTL to 0 then it have to send respond to the source of the packet. In the header of the response is an IP address of the router which hit TTL = 0. Sorry for any mistakes, English is not my native language :/

My bad, answer A is about R2 not R3... In this case I think there is no correct answer.

I would say that the loopback int in R3 is in a shutdown state (answer B), because if answer D is true as supposed (All traffic entering fa0/1 in R3 is droped) than we should not see the ip 10.99.69.6 in our traceroute result

D is correct. The reason we see 10.99.69.6 in the output is that we ping the Lo 3.3.3.3 of R3 with his add, so off course we will see the connected add of the Lo 3.3.3.3

look at the output: record route 10.99.69.1 to 10.99.69.5 which is the add of fa0/1 of router, so the Lo is up.
