QID: AN110

Bug 
(06-18-2020, 11:23 PM)lodgeg Wrote: (QID:AN110) Refer to the exhibit.  A router received five routes from different routing information sources.  Which two routes does the router install in its routing table? (Choose two)

Exhibit - How2Pass.com
-----------------------------
iBGP route 10.0.0.0/30
RIP route 10.0.0.0/30
OSPF route 10.0.0.0/16
OSPF route 10.0.0.0/30
EIGRP route 10.0.0.1/32

How2Pass Answers:
OSPF route 10.0.0.0/16
EIGRP route 10.0.0.1/32

Shouldn't the correct answers be EIGRP 10.0.0.1/32 and OSPF route 10.0.0.0/30 due to the longest prefix rule?

I believe that the answer How2Pass chose is predicated on having the /16 route and the /30 routes pointing to the same next hop destination.  If that were the case then the /16 route would efficiently summarize those four routes.  This is an ambiguity not addressed in the question, however if there are only 2 correct answers this would be the only case that makes sense.

If the /16 and /30 routes pointed to different next hop destinations, then the router would install three routes in its routing table, which would be OSPF route 10.0.0.0/16, EIGRP route 10.0.0.1/32, and one of the /30 routes depending on the next hop destination(s).  If you were to just compare the /30s without any other information present, OSPF has the lowest AD value.

The wording that the routes came from "different routing information sources" definitely makes this confusing and I was similarly frustrated.  Based on the information present in the question I would chose H2P's answer on the test, but if someone were to provide a more definitive answer I would be grateful.
