D.
The port1 default route has a lower distance than the default route using port2-
Answers
D.
The port1 default route has a lower distance than the default route using port2-
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

Routing Table Analysis:

The first command output (get router info routing-table database) shows two default routes:

One via port1 with a distance of 10.

One via port2 with a distance of 20.

The second command output (get router info routing-table all) only shows the route via port1.

Administrative Distance:

The administrative distance (AD) is a measure used by routers to select the best path when there are multiple routes to the same destination. The lower the distance, the more preferred the route.

In this scenario, the route via port1 has a lower distance (10) compared to the route via port2 (20), making it the preferred route.

Route Selection:

Since the route via port1 has a lower distance, it is the only one installed in the active routing table, which is why it appears in the second command output, and the port2 route does not.
