Sample Question

Harder than the real exam, with detailed explanations

Sample — 200-301

A router has two routes to the same destination network: an OSPF route and a static route. Both are valid. Which route does the router install in its routing table by default, and why?

A

The OSPF route, because dynamic routing protocols are always preferred

B

The static route, because it has a lower administrative distance

C

The route with the lowest metric, regardless of source

D

Both routes, load-balanced equally

Explanation

When multiple routing sources offer a route to the same prefix, the router compares administrative distance (AD) first. A static route has an AD of 1, while OSPF has an AD of 110, so the static route is preferred and installed. Metric is only compared between routes from the same source. Equal-cost load balancing applies to multiple paths from the same protocol with equal metrics.
