What is the first attribute to be used in determining the best path when a BGP router has multiple paths for the same network prefix length?

  • weight
  • lowest MED
  • local originated
  • local preference

Explanation: The BGP best-path algorithm uses the attributes, in the following order, for the best-path selection:

  1. Weight.
  2. Local preference.
  3. Local originated (network statement, redistribution, or aggregation).
  4. AIGP.
  5. Shortest AS_Path.
  6. Origin type.
  7. Lowest MED.
  8. EBGP over IBGP.
  9. Lowest IGP next hop.
  10. If both paths are external (EBGP), prefer the first (oldest).
  11. Prefer the route that comes from the BGP peer with the lower RID.
  12. Prefer the route with the minimum cluster list length.
  13. Prefer the path that comes from the lowest neighbor address.
