These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. Drag and drop each OMP attribute on the left to its matching behavior on the right.
hard- ✓ P1.Site ID: Identifies the site from which the route was originated
- ✓ P2.Originator: Indicates the vSmart that injected the route into OMP
- ✓ P3.Preference: Numeric value used to influence route selection (higher is preferred)
- ✓ P4.Tag: 32-bit value used for route filtering and policy matching
- ✓ P5.TLOC: Transport location (system-ip, color, encapsulation) for reachability
Why P1: OMP attributes control route preference, TLOC mapping, and path selection. Site ID identifies the origin site; Originator identifies the vSmart that originated the route; Preference influences route selection; Tag is used for policy matching; TLOC carries the transport location endpoint.
