Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) — Question 59

A company is running BGP on a single router, which has two connections to the same ISP. Which BGP feature ensures traffic is load balanced across the two links to the ISP?

Answer options

• A. Multihop
• B. Multipath Load Sharing
• C. Next-Hop Address Tracking
• D. AS-Path Prepending

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Multipath Load Sharing, which enables the router to utilize multiple paths for traffic distribution. The other options do not provide load balancing capabilities; Multihop pertains to the number of intermediate hops, Next-Hop Address Tracking relates to the status of the next-hop IP, and AS-Path Prepending is used for path manipulation rather than load balancing.
