HPE6-A73 Exam - Question 78


Examine the network topology.

Company XYZ has two connections to a service provider (ISP1). Here is the configuration of Router1:

Here is the configuration of Router2:

Based on configuration of Router1 and Router2, which BGP metric is being manipulated?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

The configuration for Router1 and Router2 includes the 'set metric' command, which manipulates the BGP metric known as the Multiple Exit Discriminator (MED). This is evident from the 'set metric 100' command on Router1 and 'set metric 200' command on Router2, indicating that Router1 and Router2 are setting the MED value for their respective routes. The MED attribute is used to influence the inbound traffic from another AS by indicating which path they should prefer when multiple paths exist. This aligns with the option that focuses on the MED attribute.
