An engineer configured two routers connected to two different service providers using BGP with default attributes. One of the links is presenting high delay, which causes slowness in the network. Which BGP attribute must the engineer configure to avoid using the high-delay ISP link if the second ISP link is up?
A) AS-PATH
B) WEIGHT
C) MED

The LOCAL_PREF attribute is used to prefer one path over another within an AS. By setting a higher LOCAL_PREF for the preferred (lower delay) link, the engineer can ensure that BGP will choose the better path when both links are available.
