JNCIA-Junos: Juniper Networks Certified Associate – Junos (2022) — Question 72

A device receives a route update for network 172.19.0.0/16 from two different routing information sources. In this scenario, which parameter will determine the active route?

Answer options

• A. the route learned with the lowest default route preference
• B. the route with the lowest metric
• C. the route learned from the next hop with the lowest IP address
• D. the route learned from the next hop with the highest IP address

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the lowest default route preference is used to determine which route is favored when multiple routes are available. Options B, C, and D do not apply in this scenario as they are not the primary deciding factors when preference is involved.
