Router R1 learns two routes with BGP for prefix 200.1.0.0/16. Comparing the two routes,
route 1 has a shorter AS_Path Length, smaller MED, the same Weight, and smaller Local
PreferencE. Which of the following is true about Router R1’s choice of best path for this
prefix?
A.
Route 1 is the best route.
B.
Route 2 is the best route.
C.
The routes tie as best, but one will be picked to be placed in the routing table based on
tiebreakers.
D.
Neither route is considered best.
Explanation:
Of the items listed in the question, Weight is the first one considered in the best path
algorithm, and it is a tiE. The next item considered, Local Preference, uses bigger- is-better
logic, so Route 2 will be considered best.
