Exam JN0-347 topic 1 question 94 discussion

1. Can the BGP next hop be resolved? 2. Prefer the path with the highest local preference value. (for non BGP path choose the lowest) 3. Prefer the path with the shortest AS-path length. 4. Prefer the path with the lowest origin value. 5. Prefer the path with the lowest MED value. 6. Prefer the path learned using EBGP(Active Route) over paths learned using IBGP (lowest IGP). 7. Prefer paths with the lowest IGP metric: (Best EXIT from AS) a. Examine route tables inet.0 and inet.3 for the BGP NH, and then install the physical next hop(s) for the route with the lowest preference. b. For preference ties, install the physical next hop(s) found in inet.3. c. For preference ties within the same route table, install the physical next hop(s) where the greater number of equal-cost paths exists. 8. Prefer routes from the peer with the lowest router ID (RID), unless multipath is enabled: a. For external routes from different ASs, do not alter the active route based on the lowest RID to prevent MED oscillation. 9. Prefer paths with the shortest cluster length. 10. Prefer routes from the peer with the lowest peer ID (BGP peering address), unless multipath is enabled
