300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command on Router R1: R1# show…
A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1:
R1# show bgp ipv4 unicast 10.1.1.0/24
BGP routing table entry for 10.1.1.0/24, version 2 Paths: (1 available, best #1, table default) Advertised to update-groups: 1 Refresh Epoch 1 Local
10.1.1.1 from 0.0.0.0 (10.1.1.1)
Origin IGP, metric 0, localpref 100, weight 32768, valid, sourced, best rx pathid: 0, tx pathid: 0x0
Based on this output, which statement is correct?
⚠ Common exam trap
300-410 often tests the interpretation of BGP show command output; candidates may confuse locally originated routes with eBGP-learned routes or misread the weight value.

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
✓
The route 10.1.1.0/24 is locally originated and is the best path.
The output shows the route 10.1.1.0/24 with 'Local' origin, 'sourced' and 'best' flags, and weight 32768. This indicates the route is locally originated (e.g., via a network statement or redistribution) and is the best path. The 'Local' in the path indicates it was locally generated, not learned from a peer.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The route 10.1.1.0/24 was learned from an eBGP peer.
Why it's wrong here
The output shows Local with 10.1.1.1 from 0.0.0.0, meaning the route was originated on this router, not received from any peer. An eBGP-learned route would list the neighbour's address as the source and omit the Local marker.
- ✓
The route 10.1.1.0/24 is locally originated and is the best path.
Why this is correct
The output shows "Local" origin, weight 32768, and "sourced, best", confirming R1 injected 10.1.1.0/24 itself via the network or aggregate-address command rather than learning it from a peer. The "best" flag satisfies the stem's requirement to identify the selected path.
- ✗
The route 10.1.1.0/24 has a weight of 100.
Why it's wrong here
The weight value displayed is 32768, the default assigned to locally originated routes, while localpref is 100. Weight would be 100 only if explicitly configured. The route is locally sourced, so it carries the maximum default weight.
- ✗
The route 10.1.1.0/24 is not being advertised to any peer.
Why it's wrong here
The line Advertised to update-groups: 1 confirms the route is queued for advertisement to a peer group. The Local and sourced flags show it originated here and is eligible for propagation, so it is being advertised.
