NSE 7 – Enterprise Firewall 6.2 — Question 45

Which configuration can be used to reduce the number of BGP sessions in an IBGP network?

Answer options

• A. Next-hop-self
• B. Route reflector
• C. Neighbor group
• D. Neighbor range

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a Route Reflector allows BGP routers to share routes without needing a full mesh of IBGP sessions, thus reducing the number of connections required. The other options, while useful in different contexts, do not inherently reduce the number of BGP sessions in the same way that Route Reflectors do.
