Alcatel-Lucent NRS I – Layer 2 Switching and Spanning Tree — Question 17

Which of the following is TRUE if a BGP session state is Connect?

Answer options

• A. BGP is waiting for the TCP connection to be completed.
• B. BGP has established a TCP connection, and an Open message has been sent to that neighbor.
• C. The BGP session has been interrupted, and a TCP connection is being re-established.
• D. BGP has failed to establish a TCP connection to that neighbor, and ConnectRetry has been reset to zero.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because when a BGP session is in the Connect state, it indicates that a TCP connection has been established and an Open message has been sent. Option A is incorrect as it describes the state before Connect, while Options C and D refer to issues with the connection rather than a successful state.
