LPIC-2 Exam 201 (Linux Engineer) — Question 26
On a Linux node with multiple active network interfaces, each having a default route to the Internet, which default route is preferred?
Answer options
- A. The default route with the highest metric value
- B. The default route with the highest MTU value
- C. The default route with the lowest TTL value
- D. The default route with the highest TTL value
- E. The default route with the lowest metric value
Correct answer: E
Explanation
The correct answer is E, as the default route with the lowest metric value is preferred in Linux networking. Other options, such as the highest metric or MTU values, do not determine route preference in this context, and TTL values are not relevant for route selection in this scenario.
