An Enterprise’s WAN router is running EBGP with the MPLS provider and OSPF with the site LAN. The router is configured to redistribute routes learned from BGP into OSPF.
What is the default metric for the BGP routes redistributed into OSPF?
- 1
- 20
- 40
- infinity
Explanation
When redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another, the default metric for the redistributed routes is typically set to a high value, such as infinity or a large number, to indicate that these routes should be used as a last resort. This helps to ensure that the preferred routes, which are learned through the primary routing protocol, are preferred over the redistributed routes.
In the case of an enterprise WAN router that is running both eBGP (Exterior Border Gateway Protocol) with an MPLS provider and OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) with the site LAN, and is configured to redistribute routes learned from BGP into OSPF, the default metric for the BGP routes redistributed into OSPF would typically be set to a high value, such as infinity.
Therefore, the correct answer is: infinity
