CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:

A non-Cisco router will consider what value first during the BGP best path selection process?

A. weight

B. AS_PATH

C. LOCAL_PREF

D. origin

E. MED

Answer: C. Weight is considered first, but weight is Cisco-proprietary. A non-Cisco router will not understand the weight attribute, so local preference (LOCAL_PREF) is then used.


CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:

A. Uses the original IP header

B. Replaces the original IP header with a transport header
