Cisco Exam 300-510 Topic 12 Question 93 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cisco's 300-510 exam

Question #: 93
Topic #: 12

Refer to the exhibit.

Refer to the exhibit. Company X is multihomed to a service provider. With the default settings, the link between PE2 and CE1 is the primary link, but company X has asked for the link between PE4 and CE2 to operate as the primary instead. A network engineer used a route map with local-preference to manipulate the routes from PE2 to CE1 to be less desirable and applied the route map on PE2 outbound to CE1. However, the path from PE2 to CE1 is still preferred. Which action must the engineer take so that the desired path is chosen?

AApply local-preference on PE2 outbound to CE2 with a value less than 100.

BConfigure the AS path prepend attribute to increase the number of hops between CE2 and PE4.

CConfigure the weight attribute on PE2 in the outbound direction to CE2 with a value less than 65535.

DApply MED in the outbound direction on PE2 to CE1 with a cost lower than the path from PE4 to CE2.

I think applying MED in the outbound direction on PE2 to CE1 with a cost lower than the path from PE4 to CE2 could be a better solution.

D seems like the way to go. Applying a lower MED value on the outbound direction should do the trick.

I'm not sure about that. Option D seems more straightforward and targeted.

But what about option A? Applying local-preference on PE2 outbound to CE2 with a value less than 100 could also work.

I think D is the best option. Lowering the MED value on the outbound direction should help.

But wouldn't configuring the AS path prepend attribute to increase the number of hops between CE2 and PE4 also work?

I disagree, I believe configuring the weight attribute on PE2 in the outbound direction to CE2 with a value less than 65535 is the right approach.

I'm not sure about this one. Wouldn't configuring the weight attribute on PE2 be a more direct way to influence the routing decision?

Hmm, I think the answer is B. Manipulating the AS path prepend should make the path from PE4 to CE2 more preferable.

I'm not sure, but I think A could also be a valid choice. Applying local-preference on PE2 outbound to CE2 with a value less than 100 might work.

I disagree, I think the answer is D. Using MED in the outbound direction on PE2 to CE1 should make that path more preferred.
