For Path Search Ranking, will devices that have a more specific subnet always rank higher than devices with a less specific subnet as the ingress device for a path?

Hi cHa! When performing a path search, in order to determine which first hop/last hop device should rank higher in the results, route lookup comes after host and interface lookup.
- Host Localization - Does Forward know the exact switch / switch port the source or destination is connected to
- Interface IP Lookup - Does forward model a device that has an interface configured on the same subnet as provided source or destination
- Route Lookup - All other criteria being equal, longest prefix match will be preferred when route-based lookup is used to identify a first hop device.
