1Z0-997-26 Multicloud And Hybrid Practice Question
You are designing an active-active hybrid architecture between an on-premises datacenter and OCI using two separate FastConnect circuits connected to two different DRG attachments. How does OCI determine path selection when receiving identical BGP route advertisements from both circuits?
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
✓
The DRG uses standard BGP best path selection criteria, including AS Path length and Local Preference.
OCI DRGs evaluate standard BGP attributes (such as AS Path length and Local Preference) to determine best path selection for incoming hybrid routes.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
OCI automatically enforces round-robin load balancing regardless of BGP advertisements.
Why it's wrong here
Traffic routing follows BGP path selection, not arbitrary round-robin.
- ✗
Active-active routing is not supported; OCI randomly drops packets on duplicate routes.
Why it's wrong here
Active-active routing with BGP is fully supported.
- ✗
OCI always selects the circuit with the lower OCID alphabetically.
Why it's wrong here
OCI does not use resource OCIDs for BGP route selection.
- ✓
The DRG uses standard BGP best path selection criteria, including AS Path length and Local Preference.
Why this is correct
OCI respects standard BGP attributes for route selection across multiple hybrid connections.
