Can anyone help me to solve this question?

policy-options {
policy-statement example-pol {
term 1 {
from {
protocol static;
route-filter 10.1.0.0/16 exact;
}
then {
preference 6;
accept;
}
}
term 2 {
from {

protocol static;
route-filter 10.1.1.0/24 longer;
}
then {
preference 7;
accept;
}
}
term 3 {
from {
protocol static;
route-filter 10.1.0.0/16 upto /24;
}
then {
preference 8;
accept;
}
}
term 4 {
then accept;
}
}
}
-- Exhibit --
Referring to the exhibit, if the static route with prefix 10.1.1.0/24 is evaluated against the
routing policy, which preference value will be set?

A. The preference will be 6.
B. The preference will be 7.
C. The preference will be 8.
D. The preference will be the default for static routes.

Hi,

I think it is not matching any of the first 3 terms for subnet 10.1.1.0/24, so it should match term 4 and the preference should remain default of 5 for the static route.

Thanks

Hi Flamengo,

It will match the term 3 and set the preference to 8. Option(C)

Hope this helps

 Can anyone please explain me the use of this policy?

You can't receive the route from protocol static (it's statically configured not advertised or received)

you can't use this policy as an import-policy because we received the route from dynamic protocol not static.

You can apply this policy as an export policy but the preference value is locally significant so no use of "then preference" statement

You can apply this policy in "instance-import"  but "from instance <instance name>" statement is missing. without which this policy will not work.

It could be a childish question but I am curious to know.

Is there any other use of this policy? 

 Hi VVadivel,

The prefix 10.1.1.0/24 is into the filter 10.1.0.0/16 upto / 24 . 

So the answer c is correct?

Hi Flamengo,

yes your understanding is correct

Hope this helps
