Implementing Cisco Enterprise Advanced Routing and Services (ENARSI) — Question 331

Which BGP attribute can be used to influence the path that outgoing traffic takes from your AS to other Autonomous Systems? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. MED
• B. AS_Path
• C. Weight
• D. Local Preference

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers, Weight and Local Preference, are used to control outbound traffic behavior. Weight is a Cisco-specific attribute that influences routing decisions locally, while Local Preference is used to prefer certain paths within the AS. MED and AS_Path do not directly control outbound traffic; MED influences incoming traffic from external ASes, and AS_Path is primarily used for loop prevention and path selection by external peers.
