ICND2: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (legacy) — Question 86

Which purpose of the network command in the BGP configuration of a router is true?

Answer options

• A. It enables route advertisement in the BGP routing process on the router.
• B. It advertises any route in BGP with no additional configuration.
• C. It advertises a valid network as local to the autonomous system of a router.
• D. It indicates whether a neighbor supports route refresh.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the network command is specifically used to enable the advertisement of routes in BGP. Option B is incorrect as it suggests that any route can be advertised without configuration, which is not true. Option C is misleading since the command only advertises networks that are configured, and option D is irrelevant as it pertains to neighbor capabilities rather than route advertisement.
