HPE Aruba Certified Professional (ACP) – SD-WAN — Question 114

An eBGP configuration is set up from HPE Aruba networking CX 6300 to two peers. Both peers advertise the 10.200.0.0/23 subnet with the default configuration. What configuration implementation would prefer this route using peer A over B?

Answer options

• A. Define a route-map with set local-preference 200 and bind it to peer B BGP import configuration.
• B. Define a route-map with set metric 200 and bind it to peer A BGP import configuration.
• C. Define a route-map with set local-preference 200 and bind it to peer A BGP import configuration.
• D. Define a route-map with set metric 200 and bind it to peer B BGP import configuration.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because setting the local-preference to 200 on peer A will give it a higher priority in route selection compared to peer B. Options A and D incorrectly apply the configuration to peer B, which would not achieve the desired outcome. Option B incorrectly uses metric instead of local-preference, which does not influence the route selection in the same way.
