Question

An OSPF router learns a route to an external network through both an E1 and an E2 advertisement. Both routes have identical path costs. Which route will the router prefer?

Explanation

OSPF prefers external Type 1 (E1) routes over external Type 2 (E2) routes in its route-selection order. An E1 metric includes the external metric plus the internal cost to reach the advertising ASBR, whereas an E2 route is ranked lower regardless of an equal path cost.
