   A network administrator is configuring BGP on a Dell PowerSwitch in a data center. The switch receives two routes to the same destination from two different eBGP peers. The administrator wants to prefer the route from Peer A, which is geographically closer, over the route from Peer B. Both routes have the same local preference and AS path length. What attribute should the administrator set to influence the decision?

   • ASet a lower MED on the route received from Peer A.
   • BSet a shorter AS path on the route received from Peer A.
   • CSet a higher MED on the route received from Peer A.
   • DSet a higher local preference on the route received from Peer A.
