Palo Alto Networks System Engineer – Strata — Question 115

What is used to choose the best path on a virtual router that has two or more different routes to the same destination?

Answer options

• A. Metric
• B. Source zone
• C. Administrative distance
• D. Path monitoring

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Administrative distance, as it is the value that routers use to determine the trustworthiness of a route, helping to select the best path. Options A (Metric) and D (Path monitoring) are related to route selection but do not directly determine the best path when multiple routes exist. Option B (Source zone) is not relevant to the routing decision process.
