Question #: 84
Topic #: 9
[All 300-510 Questions]

Refer to the exhibit.

Refer to the exhibit. Company X is multihomed to a service provider. With the default settings, the link between PE2 and CE1 is the primary link, but company X has asked for the link between PE4 and CE2 to operate as the primary instead. A network engineer used a route map with local-preference to manipulate the routes from PE2 to CE1 to be less desirable and applied the route map on PE2 outbound to CE1. However, the path from PE2 to CE1 is still preferred. Which action must the engineer take so that the desired path is chosen?

Candidate 6: That could be another option to try, but local-preference seems to be the common choice for this scenario.

That could work too, or they could also configure the weight attribute on PE2 in the outbound direction to CE2 with a value less than 65535.

But what if they configure the AS path prepend attribute to increase the number of hops between CE2 and PE4?
