JNCIS-ENT: Juniper Networks Certified Specialist – Enterprise Routing and Switching (2024) — Question 43

Which two characteristics are true for EBGP peerings? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. EBGP peers must be directly connected.
• B. EBGP connects peer devices in the same autonomous system.
• C. EBGP connects peer devices in two different autonomous systems.
• D. EBGP peers can be connected over a multihop connection.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers are C and D because EBGP is designed to establish peer connections between devices in different autonomous systems, allowing for inter-domain routing. Additionally, EBGP can operate over multihop connections, which is not the case for IBGP, where direct connectivity is typically required. Options A and B are incorrect as they misrepresent the nature of EBGP peerings.
