When considering routing tables and forwarding tables, which two statements are correct? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The routing table is used by the RE to select the best route.
• B. The routing table stores all routes and prefixes from all protocols.
• C. The forwarding table stores all routes and prefixes from all protocols.
• D. The forwarding table is used by the RE to select the best route.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Option A is correct because the routing table is indeed used by the Routing Engine (RE) to determine the best path for data. Option B is also correct as the routing table does store all learned routes and prefixes from various protocols, while options C and D are incorrect as the forwarding table does not store all routes and is not used by the RE to select routes.
