How would the route type affect the configuration if an OSPF configuration has several external routers?
The correct answer is A. If you have a primary exit with a secondary backup, you must choose E1, the primary with a lower. OSPF E1 external routes include both the external cost and the internal OSPF cost to reach the ASBR, allowing selection of a primary exit with a lower metric while keeping a secondary backup, ensuring predictable path selection.
