Options

• Awith import route targets 101:102 and 202:201
• Bwith import route targets 201:202 and 401:402
• Cwith export route targets 301:202 and 101:102
• Dwith export route targets 201:202 and 401:402

Explanation

Option B is correct because Router 2 needs to import the route targets that Router 1 exports for shared services - import RTs on Router 2 must match Router 1's export RTs (201:202 and 401:402) for the routes to be accepted into Router 2's VRF.

Why the distractors fail:

• A is wrong because 101:102 and 202:201 are not the RT values Router 1 exports - these are likely Router 2's own export RTs or other VRF values shown in the exhibit, so no match occurs.
• C is wrong on two levels: it uses export instead of import (wrong direction), and the RT values (301:202 and 101:102) don't match Router 1's shared-service exports.
• D uses the correct RT values (201:202 and 401:402) but configures them as export rather than import - export RTs tag routes leaving a VRF, they don't control which routes are accepted into it.

Memory tip: Think of it as a lock-and-key: one router's export RT is the key, and the receiving router's import RT is the lock - they must match. "To receive, you import."
