Implementing Cisco IP Routing (CCNP ROUTE, legacy) — Question 342

Which two statements are benefits of BGP peer groups? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Each neighbor in a peer group can have different inbound BGP policies.
• B. A configuration change can be applied simultaneously to all peers in the peer group.
• C. They use soft updates to minimize bandwidth consumption.
• D. They can optimize backdoor routes.
• E. They support groups of paths.
• F. They can be updated via multicast.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers are B and C because BGP peer groups allow for simultaneous configuration changes across all peers, making management easier, and they utilize soft updates to reduce bandwidth usage. Option A is incorrect since peer groups are meant to standardize policies rather than allow different ones. Options D, E, and F do not accurately describe the primary benefits of BGP peer groups.
