Wow, the administrator is really struggling with this one. I mean, they've got the BGP process configured and the neighbor address, but the session just won't come up. Maybe they should try turning it off and on again? Option B might do the trick.

True, activating the neighbor address family could also fix the issue. It's worth a try.

But what if they need to specify the neighbor address family for IPv4 unicast? Option C could be the solution.

Yeah, that might help establish the eBGP peering with the service provider.

I think the administrator should try enabling the BGP process with option B.

Haha, this is a classic BGP troubleshooting scenario. I bet the administrator forgot to activate the IPv4 unicast address family for the BGP neighbor. Option C looks like the way to go here.

I'm not sure, but I think option C) router bgp 64500 address-family ipv4 unicast neighbor 192.168.1.1 activate could also be a solution.

I agree with Demetra, setting up ebgp-multihop should fix the issue.

Hmm, the administrator has already configured the BGP process and the neighbor address, but the session isn't coming up. I'd say the issue is probably with the TCP session establishment. Maybe the administrator needs to configure eBGP multihop to allow the session to be established across the directly-connected interfaces. Option A could be the fix.

Yes, configuring eBGP multihop could solve the issue with the TCP session establishment.

Wait, the state isn't 'Established'? That's a bummer. I think the administrator needs to configure the BGP neighbor to use the loopback interface to establish the session. Option D looks like the right solution here.

The 'update-source loopback0' command is necessary for establishing the BGP session.
