Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH, legacy) — Question 25
A company wants to configure BGP on a router so that other BGP neighbors cannot influence the path of a particular route.
Which action must be taken to accomplish this configuration?
Answer options
- A. Configure a low router ID for the route.
- B. Configure a high local preference for the route.
- C. Configure a high weight for the route.
- D. Configure a low MED for the route.
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Configuring a high local preference for the route ensures that this specific path is preferred over others by the BGP process, effectively preventing neighboring routers from influencing its selection. The other options do not provide the same level of control; a low router ID does not affect path selection, a high weight is relevant only to the local router, and a low MED is less preferred than higher values, which does not achieve the intended objective.
