JNCIP-ENT: Juniper Networks Certified Professional – Enterprise Routing (2023) — Question 32

You have multiple BGP routes to the same prefix with equal local-preference values and AS-path lengths.
In this scenario, which route will be preferred in the route selection process?

Answer options

• A. The route with the least preferred origin value.
• B. The route with the lowest MED value.
• C. The route with the most preferred origin value.
• D. The route with the highest MED value.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The most preferred origin value is the next criterion in BGP route selection when local-preference and AS-path length are equal, making option C the correct answer. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not align with the selection process, and option D contradicts the preference since the highest MED value would be less preferred.
