Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
ASN: The autonomous system number for the Cloud Router
The correct matches: ASN → local autonomous system number, BGP peer IP → on-premises router IP, Advertised route priority → MED value. Common confusions include swapping ASN with peer IP, and route priority with advertised IP ranges.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
ASN: The autonomous system number for the Cloud Router
Why this is correct
Correct — ASN (Autonomous System Number) identifies the Cloud Router's BGP autonomous system.
BGP peer IP: The IP address of the BGP peer on the on-premises side
Why this is correct
Correct — BGP peer IP specifies the IP address of the on-premises router to establish BGP session.
Advertised route priority: The MED value to influence inbound traffic
Why this is correct
Correct — Advertised route priority sets the Multi-Exit Discriminator (MED) to influence inbound traffic path selection.
ASN: The IP address of the BGP peer on the on-premises side
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect — ASN is not an IP address; this definition actually describes BGP peer IP.
BGP peer IP: The autonomous system number for the Cloud Router
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect — BGP peer IP is not an ASN; this definition actually describes ASN.
Advertised route priority: The IP range advertised to the peer
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect — Advertised route priority is not an IP range; it refers to MED value. This definition describes advertised IP ranges.
