Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 992

What is the correct EBGP path attribute list, ordered from most preferred to least preferred, that the BGP best-path algorithm uses?

Answer options

• A. local preference, weight, AS path, MED
• B. weight, local preference, AS path, MED
• C. weight, AS path, local preference, MED
• D. local preference, weight, MED, AS path

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the BGP best-path algorithm prioritizes the weight attribute first, followed by local preference, AS path, and then MED. Options A, C, and D do not represent the correct order of preference in the BGP path selection process.
