B) The router selects the second route, because this route matches the destination address 9.1.4.5 more accurately.
A) The router selects the first route, because the priority of OSPF is higher.
C) The router selects the second route, because the metric of RIP is smaller.
D) The router selects the second route, because the outbound interface is Ethernet0, which is faster than Serial0.

Actual exam question for Huawei's H35-210_V2.5 exam
Question #: 102
Topic #: 9
[All H35-210_V2.5 Questions]

The routing table of a router contains the following two entries:

Destination/Mask Protocol Pre Cost Nexthop Interface

9.0.0.0/8 OSPF 10 50 1.1.1.1 Serial0

9.1.0.0/16 RIP 100 5 2.2.2.2 Ethernet0

If the router needs to forward packets with the destination address of 9.1.4.5, which of the following statements is correct?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

When a router forwards packets, it selects the route with the longest prefix match (most specific route) for the destination address.

First Route : Matches 9.0.0.0/8, which covers all IP addresses starting with 9.

Second Route : Matches 9.1.0.0/16, which is more specific and covers IP addresses starting with 9.1.

For the destination address 9.1.4.5 , the second route (9.1.0.0/16) is a better match because it is more specific than the first route (9.0.0.0/8).

Option A : Incorrect. OSPF has a higher priority, but the longest prefix match takes precedence over priority.

Option B : Correct. The second route matches the destination address more accurately.

Option C : Incorrect. Metric is not considered when comparing routes with different prefix lengths.

Option D : Incorrect. Interface speed is irrelevant in route selection.

Still, specificity trumps priority here. B is the way to go.

I feel like the interface speed shouldn't matter here, but I can't recall if it affects the decision-making process.

I practiced a similar question, and I believe the metric plays a role, but in this case, the destination match seems more important.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about OSPF having a higher priority. Does that mean it would always be chosen?

I think the router would choose the second route since 9.1.4.5 matches the /16 mask better than the /8.
