Question 1
At the Redwood medical campus, R-RED-EDGE1 learns the same 10.21.0.0/16 prefix through eBGP and OSPF; the eBGP next hop is reachable, but engineers assumed OSPF's lower metric would win. Which operational change most directly addresses the fault described?
Explanation
Correct Answer
At the Redwood medical campus, the evidence points to a concrete mechanism rather than a generic outage. The routing table chooses between different routing sources by administrative distance before comparing a protocol's internal metric. Compare the route sources by administrative distance and adjust the intended route preference only after confirming both next hops. Confirm it by checking that the installed route and its administrative-distance value match the approved eBGP-versus-OSPF preference.
Incorrect Answers
This is appropriate for a different routing or network-control issue: The static route has a lower default administrative distance and displaces the intended dynamic path. The stated evidence at the Redwood medical campus instead concerns routing-source administrative distance.
This could help where route-map implicit deny is the issue, but not for the evidence reported at the Redwood medical campus. The routing table chooses between different routing sources by administrative distance before comparing a protocol's internal metric.
That change targets prefix-list mask-length filtering, not the reported routing-source administrative distance fault at the Redwood medical campus. The routing table chooses between different routing sources by administrative distance before comparing a protocol's internal metric.
