The neighbor 10.1.1.1 weight 200 BGP configuration command has been configured on router A.
What will be the result of this configuration?

A.
Router A will prefer the path through router B for network 172.20.0.0

B.
Router A will prefer the path through router C for network 172.20.0.0

C.
Packets from router D will prefer the path through router B for networks advertised by router A

D.
Packets from router D will prefer the path through router C for networks advertised by router A

Explanation:
The weight attribute is a special Cisco attribute that is used in the path selection process when
there is more than one route to the same destination. The higher the weight value, the between
the path. The default weight is 0. Therefore, by configuring weight 200 to the neighbor 10.1.1.1,
Router-A will prefer the path through B for network 172.20.0.0 then the path through Router-C.
The weight attribute is local to the router and not propagated to other routers. In this case the
weight is local to Router-A so it has no effect on the decision of transferring packets from RouterD.
