300-415 · Question #297

Which routing protocol has the highest default administrative distance?

The correct answer is B. OMP. The Overlay Management Protocol (OMP) used in Cisco SD-WAN possesses the highest default administrative distance among the given routing protocols, ensuring its routes are less preferred than other routing sources by default.

Why each option

The Overlay Management Protocol (OMP) used in Cisco SD-WAN possesses the highest default administrative distance among the given routing protocols, ensuring its routes are less preferred than other routing sources by default.

AIS-IS

IS-IS has a default administrative distance of 115, which is lower than OMP's 250.

BOMPCorrect

The Overlay Management Protocol (OMP) in Cisco SD-WAN has a default administrative distance of 250. This high value ensures that routes learned via OMP are less preferred than routes learned from other protocols like OSPF, BGP, or EIGRP, allowing the underlay network's routing to take precedence for forwarding decisions when overlaps occur.

CIBGP

Internal BGP (iBGP) has a default administrative distance of 200, which is lower than OMP's 250.

Dexternal EIGRP

External EIGRP has a default administrative distance of 170, which is lower than OMP's 250.
