JNCIS-ENT: Juniper Networks Certified Specialist – Enterprise Routing and Switching (2024) — Question 24

An EBGP session sources its TCP connection from which IP address?

Answer options

• A. The IP address assigned as the router ID.
• B. The IP address of the preferred address assigned to the loopback interface.
• C. The IP address of the primary address assigned to the loopback interface.
• D. The IP address of the interface that connects the two BGP speakers.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because an EBGP session establishes its connection using the IP address of the interface that directly connects the two BGP routers. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they refer to router ID and loopback interfaces, which are not used for initiating EBGP TCP connections.
