You have to love labs that revolve around testing your ability to answer
"trick questions".

Subject: BGP weight question

I was doing a vendor lab and the question stated that R5 must always
prefer
routes from R4 and only R6 if there is a link failure

I created a route-map and set weight on routes from R4 to 300. I then
checked the answer and It was wrong saying the weight should have been
65535.

My question is weight is local so no route will come in via R6 with a
higher
weight. Would a lab proctor award me points for my configuration?

Thanks,

Mike
