   Your router has two BGP routes for the same prefix. Route A is learned from an eBGP peer with an IGP metric of 10 to the next hop. Route B is learned from an iBGP peer with an IGP metric of 5 to the next hop. Both routes have the same local preference, AS path length, origin, and MED. Which route will be preferred?

   • ARoute A, because eBGP routes are preferred over iBGP routes.
   • BRoute A, because it has a higher IGP metric to the next hop.
   • CRoute B, because it has a lower IGP metric to the next hop.
   • DThe routes are considered equal, and the router ID is used as the tie-breaker.

   Your router has two iBGP routes for the same prefix. Both routes have identical local preference, AS path length, origin, MED, and IGP metric to the next hop. Route A was learned from a peer with router ID 192.0.2.1, and Route B was learned from a peer with router ID 192.0.2.2. Which route will be preferred?

   • ARoute A, because it is an eBGP route and eBGP is preferred.
   • BThe routes are considered equal, and the peer IP address is used as the final tie-breaker.
   • CRoute A, because the lower router ID is preferred.
   • DRoute B, because the higher router ID is preferred.

   You have two eBGP peers, R1 and R2, both advertising the same prefix. R1 advertises the route with AS path AS 100 AS 200, and R2 advertises the route with AS path AS 100. Both routes have the same local preference, origin, and MED. Which route will be preferred?

   • AThe routes are considered equal, and the router ID is used as the tie-breaker.
   • BThe route from R1, because it is an eBGP route and eBGP is preferred.
   • CThe route from R2, because it has a shorter AS path.
   • DThe route from R1, because it has a longer AS path.
