Given the configuration shown in the exhibit, which statement is correct about traffic matching the route 10.10.10.0/24?

Answer options

• A. It will be forwarded to 192.168.100.1 using a metric of 10.
• B. It will be forwarded to 192.168.100.1 using a metric of 8.
• C. It will be forwarded to 192.168.200.1 using a metric of 8.
• D. It will be forwarded to 192.168.200.1 using a metric of 10.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the route 10.10.10.0/24 has a defined next-hop of 192.168.100.1 with a preference of 6, which is lower than the default preference. Therefore, the qualified next-hop of 192.168.200.1 with a metric of 8 is chosen for forwarding the traffic. Options A and B incorrectly suggest that traffic goes to 192.168.100.1, while option D misstates the metric as 10.
