True or false: If two different routers are redistributing the same network (such as 10.1.1.0/24) as an OSPF external Type 2 route, and they have the same metric, both paths are installed on a downstream router.

  • True
  • False

Explanation: OSPF inserts an additional check for the forwarding cost (which consists of the path metric to reach the ASBR). If the forwarding cost is the same, then both paths are installed. If the costs are different, then the path with the lowest forwarding metric is installed.
