Domain Describe and differentiate the functions and features of ArubaOS-CX switches and the ArubaOS-CX operating system

Answer options
A: connected
B: local
C: OSPF Correct answer
D: static
Correct Answer:
C. OSPF
Explanation

The output [110/200] represents the administrative distance (AD) and the metric for the route. On ArubaOS-CX switches, the default administrative distance for the OSPF routing protocol is 110. The value of 200 is the OSPF cost (metric) to reach the destination network 10.20.0.0/22. The route indicates that traffic to this network should be sent via the next-hop router at 10.1.1.1. This combination of AD and metric is characteristic of a route learned through OSPF.

Why Incorrect

A. connected: A connected route represents a network directly attached to one of the switch's interfaces and has an administrative distance of 0.
B. local: A local route is for an IP address configured on the switch itself. It has an administrative distance of 0.
D. static: A static route is manually configured by an administrator and has a default administrative distance of 1.

The guide provides examples of the command output, showing the format [administrativedistance/metric] for learned routes, which aligns with the question's output. For example, an OSPF route is shown as [110/2].
