Exam 300-410 topic 1 question 32 discussion

The engineer should configure the LOCAL_PREF attribute to avoid using the high-delay ISP link if the second ISP link is up. LOCAL_PREF allows you to prioritize routes within the local autonomous system, ensuring that the lower-delay link is preferred for outbound traffic. Correct answer is option : D

It D. The key word is TWO routers in the AS. We need a solution that works for both, and only needs to be configured once. Yes, weight could work, however it isnt the best solution here since its locally significant.

D is correct

Both options A and C, influence inbound routing from external systems. Not relevant, here, as we are trying to influence outbound path selection. Given that the engineer is dealing with two routers connected to different ISPs, using LOCAL_PREF is preferred because it ensures that the preference is consistent across the entire AS, not just on a single router. So, while configuring **weight** can achieve a similar outcome on a single router, **local preference** is generally preferred for broader and more consistent influence across all routers within the AS.

I choose D. Because the question said he is configuring the "2" router connecting to ISP, if he can configure the router connecting to the two routers, he can change the WEIGHT. But if he is on the two router, the only config that can influence other is Local_Pref.

i think it's A

I choose D

I think it is A. only A is possible to affect choosing for both directions. The other options only affect one direction.

If the question stated TWO cisco routers, then the answer would be B. Setting the weight with an inbound route map, you can influence outbound traffic. The same goes for local preference, second attribute in the list of preference in cisco routers, but first in non-cisco routers. I agree that the answer should be D.

The answer is D, The Local Preference attribute is used: To choose between multiple exit paths from your network - Non-transitive and optional attribute - Local to an AS only * Default local preference is 100 (IOS) - Used to influence BGP path selection * Determines the best path for outbound traffic - Path with highest local preference wins

D is correct: Three steps are by far the most important ones. Prefer the path with the highest local preference Prefer the path with the shortest AS path Prefer the path with the lowest multi-exit discriminator (MED)

The given answer is correct

D IS CORRECT

A and 100% sure

Weight is the correct answer

D is correct You can use local preference to choose the outbound external BGP path.

B weight
