What are two valid BGP Attributes that can be used to influence the route path traffic will take? (Choose two.)
AS-Path Prepend and MED (Multi-Exit Discriminator) are both valid BGP attributes that influence route path selection. AS-Path Prepend manipulates the AS path length to make a route less preferred, while MED is used as a metric to indicate the preferred route when there are multiple entry points to an AS.

AS-Path Prepend is a BGP attribute that influences the path selection by adding additional occurrences of the autonomous system (AS) number to the AS path. This can make a route less preferred by other BGP routers, effectively influencing the traffic to take an alternate path. MED (Multi-Exit Discriminator) is another BGP attribute that is used to influence the route path. It is a metric that represents the "cost" of reaching a specific BGP route. A lower MED value indicates a more preferred route.
