HPE Aruba Certified Professional (ACP) – SD-WAN — Question 27

How would the route type affect the configuration if an OSPF configuration has several external routers?

Answer options

• A. If you have a primary exit with a secondary backup, you must choose E1, the primary with a lower default metric than the secondary.
• B. If you want to consider internal and external costs equally, use E2 routes.
• C. If you want to leverage all paths to destinations, use E2 with the same default metric.
• D. If you want to use the closet exit point, use E2 with appropriate seed metric.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because selecting E1 allows for a primary route with a lower metric, ensuring that it is preferred over the secondary. Options B and C are incorrect as they discuss E2 routes, which do not prioritize based on metric in the same way. Option D is also wrong since it suggests using E2 when the question specifically addresses the need for a primary and secondary exit strategy.
