Huawei Certified ICT Associate – Data Center Network (HCIA-DCN) — Question 57

If a routing table contains multiple routes to the same destination network, what are these routes called?

Answer options

• A. Equal-cost routes
• B. Multipath routes
• C. Sub-optimal routes
• D. Default routes

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Equal-cost routes refer to multiple paths to the same destination that have the same metric, allowing for load balancing. Options B, C, and D do not accurately describe multiple routes to a destination with the same cost; 'Multipath routes' implies different metrics, 'Sub-optimal routes' indicates a less favorable path, and 'Default routes' refer to a fallback path when no specific routes exist.
