Question 160
An enterprise network designer recommends: Use the BGP origin-attribute comparison in the supported path selection sequence. Which situation most clearly calls for this action?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This case requires the Origin type tie break action. A route with IGP origin can be preferred over an incomplete-origin path in this tie.
Incorrect Answers
This other case would be better matched to Restore IP routing reachability to the route's recursive BGP next hop. The path can participate in valid best-path selection after next-hop resolution.
This other case would be better matched to Inspect detailed BGP routes, attributes, next hops, and the active-path indication. The ranking evidence can identify the selection criterion behind the chosen path.
This other case would be better matched to Prefer the route with the shorter AS-path length under the normal selection sequence. The fewer-AS route can win when earlier selection criteria are equal.
