The router will prefer the more specific prefix, 10.0.0/24.

I definitely remember that 10.0.0/24 is more specific than 10.0.0/18, so maybe that means it will show up in the routing table? I hope I got this right!

I'm a bit confused about the output format. I feel like I saw something like this in our labs, but I can't recall the exact details.

I think we practiced a similar question where the longest prefix match was key. I might lean towards option C based on that.

I remember something about prefix length and how the router chooses the most specific route, but I'm not sure which option that leads to.

This seems straightforward to me. The router will select the most specific route, which is the 10.0.0/24 prefix. I'm confident Option C is the correct answer.

I'm not entirely sure about this one. I'll need to think it through step-by-step to make sure I understand how the router will process these routes.

Okay, I think I know how to approach this. The router will select the most specific route, which should be the 10.0.0/24 prefix. I'll go with Option C.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the different prefix lengths. I'll need to review my knowledge of longest prefix match to determine the correct output.

This looks like a tricky routing question. I'll need to carefully consider the prefix lengths and how the router will handle the overlapping routes.

Hmm, that's a good point. I see why Option C could be the correct answer now.
JU

I disagree, I believe the output will be Option C because it shows the most specific route.
GO

I bet the answer is Option B. The router will probably combine the prefixes into a single entry for 10.0.0.0/18.
EL

Yes, the router will summarize the prefixes into a single entry for 10.0.0.0/18.

Haha, this looks like a classic routing question. You've got to love the CLI output on these exams!
WI

I think the output will be Option A because it shows the longest prefix match.

Hmm, I'm not sure. The different prefixes might get merged into a single entry. I'll have to think about this one a bit more.

Option C looks like the correct output to me. The router should display the most specific prefix, which is 10.0.0.0/24 in this case.
EL
Elbert

Definitely, option C is the correct choice based on the given prefixes.
KA
Kayleigh

That makes sense, the router will prioritize the more specific prefix in the output.
LI
Lina

Yes, the router should display the 10.0.0.0/24 prefix as it is more specific.
MA

I agree, option C seems to be the most specific prefix.
