Wait, are we sure about that? I thought directly connected routes took priority.

I feel like the static route is too broad for this specific destination. I might lean towards the Auto VPN option instead.

I practiced a similar question where the directly connected route was the answer, but I’m not confident if that applies here too.

I think the non-Meraki VPN route could be relevant since it matches the subnet closely, but I need to double-check the specifics.

I'm a little confused by the different route types here. I'll need to make sure I understand the differences between auto VPN, static, and directly connected routes.

Okay, I've got this. The destination IP is in the 172.18.0.0/16 network, so the Auto VPN route should be the most specific match.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to think through the subnet masks and prefix lengths to determine which route would be selected.

This looks like a straightforward routing table lookup question. I'll need to carefully consider the destination IP address and compare it to the routes in the table.

I'm going with option D because, well, it's the only one that actually makes sense. The other options are like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded.

Oh, this is easy. It's gotta be the directly connected route. I mean, why would the Meraki MX even bother with all those fancy VPN routes when it can just take the straightforward path, you know?

Haha, the 'non-Meraki VPN route' option is like the black sheep of the family. I bet the Meraki MX would never even look at that one.

Hmm, I think it's gotta be option D. The question specifically mentions the destination IP is 172.18.24.12, and the directly connected route for 172.18.16.0/20 seems like the most specific match.
