Question 180
An enterprise network designer recommends: Attach a standard BGP community to selected routes using routing policy. Which situation most clearly calls for this action?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This case requires the BGP standard community action. Multiple peers can classify routes by the shared community tag without matching every prefix.
Incorrect Answers
This other case would be better matched to Use local preference for iBGP-internal egress policy rather than assuming EBGP carries LOCAL_PREF. Outbound path preference can be coordinated inside the AS without relying on external propagation.
This other case would be better matched to Use a permitted BGP export policy to prepend its own AS number to the backup announcement. Remote networks may see a longer AS path and prefer the other ingress when other factors tie.
This other case would be better matched to Use a BGP large community in the supported community policy design. Extended tagging can carry structured 32-bit components without relying on legacy 16-bit community fields.
