Question 140
An enterprise network designer recommends: Inspect BGP summary, neighbor details, and session error information. Which situation most clearly calls for this action?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This case requires the BGP Idle state debugging action. The engineer can identify a configuration or transport reason for the non-Established state.
Incorrect Answers
This other case would be better matched to Correct the external BGP peer AS configuration to match the real neighbor autonomous system. The AS identity check need not prevent a BGP session from becoming Established.
This other case would be better matched to Enable a suitable EBGP multihop design and ensure route reachability to the remote peering address. An EBGP session is no longer limited to directly adjacent peer reachability.
This other case would be better matched to Investigate transport loss and negotiate compatible keepalive and hold timers on the BGP peers. Reliable keepalive exchange can prevent unintended hold-timer expiration.
