Palo Alto Networks NGFW Engineer — Question 55

When multiple routes have the same destination prefix, which attribute does the firewall use first to determine route preference?

Answer options

• A. Administrative distance
• B. Route metric
• C. Next-hop availability
• D. Longest prefix match

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the firewall first considers the administrative distance to determine the preference of routes with the same destination prefix. While the route metric, next-hop availability, and longest prefix match are also important factors, they are evaluated after the administrative distance in the routing decision process.
