200-301 · Question #1025
Refer to the exhibit. Which next-hop IP address has the least desirable metric when sourced from R1?
The correct answer is B. 10.10.10.3. Routers determine the least desirable path based on routing protocol metrics, where a higher metric value indicates a less preferred route.

Why each option
Routers determine the least desirable path based on routing protocol metrics, where a higher metric value indicates a less preferred route.
This next-hop IP address would correspond to a path with a more desirable (lower) metric.
Routing protocols calculate metrics (costs) for different paths to a destination, and a higher metric value signifies a less desirable or more expensive path. Without the exhibit, we infer that the path via 10.10.10.3 has been determined to have the highest metric by R1 among the given options, making it the least desirable.
This next-hop IP address would correspond to a path with a more desirable (lower) metric.
This next-hop IP address would correspond to a path with a more desirable (lower) metric.
