An administrator in a company of 349 users has a pair of AOS-CX switches with connections to external networks. Both switches are configured for OSPF. The administrator wants to import external routes on both switches, but assigns different seed metrics to the routes, as well as imports them as external type-1 routes.
What is the best way for the administrator to accomplish this?
To import external routes into OSPF with different metrics and specify them as external type-1 routes, the best approach is to create a route map. Route maps allow detailed control over route redistribution, including setting specific metrics and route types. By using a route map, the administrator can define the appropriate seed metrics for each route and ensure they are imported as external type-1 routes.
The correct Answer is A
A is correct page 182 user guide
Page 381 Study Guide Page 235 Lab Guide: Configure a route map to control external cost types, such as Metric type1 and type2.
Shouldnt it be B?
Sorry, A is correct. "To change the LSA metric-type (type 1 or 2), you must use a route map.
A is correct
Chapitre 6 Advanced OSPF from ACSP learning book: "By default, all the routes from the route type will be redistributed unless you employ route maps. When you redistribute routes into OSPF, they are assigned a seed metric to them; a beginning cost value. If you specify a default metric with "default-metric" command, that would be applied to redistributed routes; if you want to have different metrics for different external routes, then use a route map to accomplish this task."
