You are a network administrator at an organization. One of the routers on your network learns two routes to a remote network, one route via OSPF and another via RIP v2. You want the router to add the route learned via RIP v2 into its routing table. What should you do to ensure that the router will use the route learned via RIP v2?
A)Configure the router interface on the OSPF path to a passive one.
B)Configure the routers on the OSPF path to a lower priority.
C)Configure the administrative distance of RIP v2 to be lower than that for OSPF.
D)Configure the path using RIP v2 as a static route.

If you want the router to add the route using RIP v2 to its routing table, you must lower the value of administrative distance of RIP v2 to be lower than that of OSPF.
Key Takeaway: By default, when multiple routing protocols are configured for the same networks, the router will use the path with the lowest Administrative Distance. By default, OSPF has an AD of 110 and RIP has an AD of 120. In order to ensure that the router prefers the route learned via RIP over OSPF, the AD of the RIP route must be reduced to a value less than 120.
