Huawei Certified ICT Expert – Data Center Network (HCIE-DCN) — Question 27

When troubleshooting the EBGP neighbor relationship, you found that two directly connected devices use Loopback ports to establish a connection, so execute display current-configuration configuration bgp to view the configuration of peer ebgp-max-hop hop-count. Which of the following statements is correct?

Answer options

• A. hop-count must be greater than 2
• B. hop-count must be greater than 15
• C. hop-count must be greater than 1
• D. hop-count must be greater than 255

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because in EBGP configurations, a hop-count of greater than 1 is necessary for the devices to communicate effectively over Loopback addresses. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they set the minimum hop-count too high, which is not required for establishing a successful EBGP neighbor relationship.
