Answer choices

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

✓

All routes from 10.5.5.6 have their local preference set to 150, making them more preferred.

The route-map SET-LP is applied inbound. It sets the local preference to 150 for all routes received from 10.5.5.6. This makes those routes more preferred within the local AS compared to routes with default local preference (100).

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✓

    All routes from 10.5.5.6 have their local preference set to 150, making them more preferred.

    Why this is correct

    The route-map matches all routes (no match condition) and sets local-preference to 150.

  • ✗

    Only routes that match a prefix-list are affected; otherwise, default local preference is used.

    Why it's wrong here

    There is no match condition, so all routes are matched.

  • ✗

    Local preference is set to 150 for routes sent to 10.5.5.6.

    Why it's wrong here

    The keyword 'in' means it is applied to inbound updates.

  • ✗

    The route-map is ignored because local-preference can only be set outbound.

    Why it's wrong here

    Local-preference can be set inbound to influence route selection within the local AS.
