HPE7-A07 Exam - Topic 7 Question 21 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A07 exam

Topic #: 7
[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 I might confuse the options since they all look similar. I need to double-check the attributes before making a choice.

This question reminds me of a practice question where we had to choose the best path based on metrics. I hope I can apply that here!

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 precedence.

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

No problem, I'm familiar with BGP route selection. I'll methodically go through the attributes for each route and apply the BGP decision process to identify the route marked with the ">" symbol.

I'm a little confused by the different route attributes shown in the table. I'll need to refresh my memory on how BGP compares these to select the best route.

Okay, I got this. The route with the ">" symbol is the best route based on the BGP decision process. I'll carefully analyze the attributes for each route to determine which one would be selected.

I remember learning about non-repudiation in class. It's the mechanism that ensures the sender can't deny sending a message. That's definitely the answer I'm going with.
