[All HPE7-A07 Questions]

A BGP routing table contains multiple routes to the same destination prefix.

Referring to the table below which route would be marked with a ">" symbol?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: E

In BGP, the route marked with a '>' symbol is the best route that is chosen based on BGP attributes in the following order: highest weight (Cisco-specific), highest local preference, originated by BGP running on the local router, shortest AS path, lowest origin type, lowest MED, eBGP over iBGP, closest IGP neighbor, and lowest BGP router ID. Based on the table provided, Option E would be marked with a '>' symbol as it has the highest local preference of 100 which is a decisive factor in the BGP best path selection process.

I feel like Option D is the best choice. It has the highest local preference.

Nah, it’s actually about the origin type too, not just AS path.

Wait, I didn’t know AS path length was that important!

Option C has the lowest AS path, so it gets the ">" symbol.

I feel like I need to double-check the rules about route selection. Was it the one with the highest local preference or the lowest MED?

This question reminds me of a practice test where we had to analyze similar routing tables. I think the route with the lowest AS path wins?

I think it has something to do with the BGP attributes like AS path or local preference, but I can't recall the exact order of importance.

I remember that the ">" symbol indicates the best route, but I'm not sure how to determine which one it is from the table.
