The correct answer is B. R1. To ensure outbound traffic from R1 prefers ISP-1 over ISP-2, a BGP path attribute must be configured on R1 to give routes learned from ISP-1 a higher preference.
Question
Refer to the exhibit. An engineer must design a WAN solution so that ISP-1 is always preferred over ISP-2. The path via ISP-2 is considered as a backup and must be used only when the path to ISP-1 is down. Which solution must the engineer choose?

- BR1:
- CR1:
- DR1:

Why each option
To ensure outbound traffic from R1 prefers ISP-1 over ISP-2, a BGP path attribute must be configured on R1 to give routes learned from ISP-1 a higher preference.
Without the content of option A, a specific technical reason cannot be provided, but it would imply a configuration that either does not influence path selection effectively or incorrectly prioritizes ISP-2.
Assuming Option B represents a BGP configuration that sets a higher local-preference or weight for routes learned from ISP-1. By assigning a higher local-preference or weight to routes received from ISP-1, R1 will prioritize ISP-1 as the primary path for outbound traffic, while ISP-2 will serve as the backup.
Without the content of option C, a specific technical reason cannot be provided, but it would imply a configuration that either does not influence path selection effectively or incorrectly prioritizes ISP-2.
Without the content of option D, a specific technical reason cannot be provided, but it would imply a configuration that either does not influence path selection effectively or incorrectly prioritizes ISP-2.
