A housing authority engineer sees suboptimal SD-WAN paths and inspects OMP routes. Which attributes are most relevant when diagnosing why one path wins over another?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When the overlay picks a weird road to a housing site, read the OMP route like a shipping label—TLOC, site-ID, preference, and friends explain the choice. Cable paint in the MDF and hostname length are not best-path algorithms. And no, vSmart does not run STP on eth0 to pick OMP winners.
Full Explanation
OMP routes carry attributes including TLOC identifiers, site-ID, originator, preference, and related fields that vSmart and Edges use for overlay best-path selection. Housing-authority troubleshooting should compare those attributes when traffic takes a suboptimal transport or hub. Spanning-tree priorities and cosmetic hostname lengths are not OMP selection criteria. Physical cable labeling aids cabling hygiene but does not appear as an OMP best-path attribute.
