300-415 · Question #213

Which OMP route is selected if it was learned from the same Cisco SD-WAN device at location S4406T9E02F15?

The correct answer is B. route with the higher OMP route preference value. When multiple OMP routes for the same prefix are learned from the same Cisco SD-WAN device, the route with the highest OMP route preference value is selected.

Why each option

When multiple OMP routes for the same prefix are learned from the same Cisco SD-WAN device, the route with the highest OMP route preference value is selected.

Aroute with the lower origin metric

The origin metric is used earlier in the OMP best path algorithm to differentiate between routes learned from different sources, but not for routes from the same device.

Broute with the higher OMP route preference valueCorrect

The OMP best path algorithm has multiple steps for selecting routes. If multiple OMP routes for the same prefix are learned from the same Cisco SD-WAN device, the tie-breaker is to select the route with the higher OMP route preference value.

Croute with the higher router ID

The router ID is used as a tie-breaker later in the OMP best path algorithm, typically when comparing routes from different TLOCs or different WAN Edge routers, not specifically for multiple routes from the same device with the same preference.

Droute with the lower administrative distance

Administrative distance is primarily used in traditional routing for comparing routes from different routing protocols, not as a direct OMP best path attribute for routes learned from the same SD-WAN device.
