Question 930
Sable Ridge Manufacturing needs to choose a static route over an OSPF route to the exact same prefix when both are valid. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Administrative distance selects the preferred source of identical-prefix routes before comparing metrics. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.
Incorrect Answers
FHRPs let clients use one virtual default gateway while eligible routers coordinate active forwarding. That is not sufficient here: Administrative distance selects the preferred source of identical-prefix routes before comparing metrics.
An OSPF priority of zero makes the router ineligible for DR or BDR election. That is not sufficient here: Administrative distance selects the preferred source of identical-prefix routes before comparing metrics.
IOS route display commonly uses [administrative distance/metric] following the route code. That is not sufficient here: Administrative distance selects the preferred source of identical-prefix routes before comparing metrics.
