A service provider router has a loopback interface with address 192.0.2.1/32. The router receives an eBGP route for 192.0.2.0/24 from a customer. The network administrator also configures the network 192.0.2.1 mask 255.255.255.255 command under the BGP process. Which route will be installed in the routing table for the 192.0.2.0/24 prefix?

The locally originated /32 route will be preferred over the eBGP route

The eBGP route will be preferred because it has a shorter prefix length

The eBGP route will be preferred because it is learned from a peer

Both routes will be installed and load-balanced

Which origin type is preferred in BGP path selection?

All origin types are treated equally

Which command sets the default local preference for all routes learned by a BGP router?

neighbor 10.0.0.1 local-preference 200

bgp default local-preference 200

A service provider router has four eBGP paths to the same destination prefix. All four paths have identical weight, local preference, AS path length, origin, MED, and IGP metric to the next hop. The network administrator wants to use all four paths for load balancing. What must be configured?

Configure maximum-paths 2 under the BGP address-family

Configure the bestpath as-path ignore command

Configure maximum-paths 4 under the BGP address-family

Configure a route map to set different MED values on each path

How can a network administrator influence the weight attribute for routes learned from a specific neighbor?

Using the neighbor weight command in BGP router configuration

Using the set local-preference command in a route map

Using the maximum-paths command

Using the network command to advertise a route
