Free Cisco 300-415 Actual Exam Questions - Question 8 Discussion

Maybe A, since when OMP preferences tie, the TLOC preference acts as the next deciding factor, and I remember higher TLOC preference usually gets selected.

D imo, since the question only says OMP route preference values are equal, the next logical step would be comparing TLOC preferences. Lower TLOC preference value usually wins when OMP prefs tie, which matches option D. The origin type being connected or static feels like a later tie-breaker, so B and C might come after checking TLOC values. If TLOC prefs differ, that should be the decisive factor here.

B, connected routes usually have higher priority than static ones on tie.

Maybe A makes sense here since when OMP route preferences are equal, the system often looks at TLOC preference next to break ties. Between options A and D, higher TLOC preference should be favored, so D seems less likely. The origin type usually comes into play earlier or with different tie scenarios, but this question specifically says equal OMP preference values, which suggests TLOC preference is the deciding factor. So I’d go with A on this one.

Maybe B makes more sense since the system usually favors routes with a connected origin over static when the OMP preference values are equal. That’s a typical route selection rule.

I’m thinking the key here is the origin type rather than TLOC preference. Since the question says equal OMP route preference values, and options C and B relate to origin types, it makes sense to prefer connected (B) over static (C), as connected routes tend to be more reliable. The TLOC preference usually comes before origin type, but if they’re equal, origin type might be the next factor. Does that line of reasoning hold for everyone?

A/B? The question says equal OMP route preference values on WAN Edge routers, so the first tiebreaker after route preference is usually TLOC preference. That points to A (higher TLOC preference preferred). But if TLOC preference is also equal, then the next step often checks origin type, where connected routes (B) get priority over static (C). D doesn’t really make sense since lower TLOC preference isn’t favored. So it’s either A or B depending on whether TLOC preference ties or not. Without more detail, A seems to fit the immediate next step after equal OMP route preference.

D imo, usually when TLOC preferences tie, the system picks the one with the lower TLOC preference value as a tiebreaker. Seems to make sense because higher preference routes get chosen first, so for equal values it flips.

B imo, the next step after TLOC preference usually checks the origin type of the route. Connected routes are generally preferred over static ones since they're directly attached. So if two routes have the same OMP and TLOC values, a connected origin might tip the scales. That said, I’m not 100% sure if this is always true across all versions, but it fits with usual routing priorities.

A. The route with higher TLOC preference value gets picked when preferences are equal.
