Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
This is an iBGP route because the distance is 200.
The administrative distance of 200 is the default for iBGP routes. eBGP routes have a default distance of 20. Therefore, this is an iBGP route.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
This is an eBGP route because the distance is 200.
Why it's wrong here
eBGP has a default distance of 20, not 200. A distance of 200 indicates iBGP.
- ✓
This is an iBGP route because the distance is 200.
Why this is correct
iBGP routes have a default administrative distance of 200, matching this output.
- ✗
This is a redistributed route from OSPF into BGP.
Why it's wrong here
The output shows the route is known via BGP, not OSPF. The distance indicates iBGP.
- ✗
The distance of 200 is non-default and manually configured.
Why it's wrong here
200 is the default distance for iBGP, not a manual configuration.
