Question 23

Examine the exhibit. The eBGP peering refuses to establish. What is the problem in this case? 

  • A eBGP peerings must be between directly connected interfaces
  • B The AS references in the neighbor remote-as statements are incorrect
  • C The neighbor IP addresses are incorrect for this configuration
  • D The eBGP multihop value needs to be set to 3 on each device
Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: C

Explanation

In this configuration, the desire is to peer between the loopback addresses as evidenced by the neighbor update-source commands. The neighbor statements should reference these loopback IP addresses, not the physical interface IPs. Here is an example of the correct configuration on R1: neighbor 5.5.5.5 remote-as 65000
neighbor 5.5.5.5 ebgp-multihop 2
neighbor 5.5.5.5 update-source lo0
