Question #: 12
Topic #: 1

You have been asked to examine a BGP configuration for a co-worker who is having difficulty establishing BGP peering. The address shown is that of the neighbor's Lo0 interface. Given the configuration shown, what would be your recommendation?

S3(config-router-bgp-65042)# neighbor 192.168.32.1

S3(config-router-neighbor)# remote-as 65042

AModify the existing configuration to be:
S3(config-router-bgp-65042)# neighbor 192.168.32.1/24 S3(config-router-neighbor)# peer-as 65042

BAdd the following to the existing configuration: S3(config-router-neighbor)# update-source loopback 0 S3(config-router-neighbor)# no shutdown

Seriously, who comes up with these BGP questions? They're like a secret language only network admins can understand. I'd go with C just to get it over with.

I've seen this problem before. The correct answer is B, no doubt about it. That update-source command is like the duct tape of BGP configuration, always fixes the problem.

Haha, I remember dealing with this kind of BGP issue. The answer is definitely B. Adding that update-source command is crucial for establishing a stable BGP session.

Hmm, I'm not sure. The configuration seems to be using the neighbor's loopback interface already, so I'm not sure if that's the issue. Maybe C is the right answer? Checking the BGP state could help identify the problem.

I think the correct answer is B. Adding the update-source loopback 0 command will ensure that the BGP session uses the loopback interface, which is generally more reliable than using a physical interface.
