Nokia Certified Network Associate – IP/MPLS Services — Question 3

A TCP connection fails to be established with a BGP peer. Which of the following are valid options for the BGP connection state?

Answer options

• A. Idle or Connect
• B. Idle or Active
• C. Connect or Active
• D. Connect or Open Sent

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the BGP connection can be in either the Connect or Active state when a TCP connection fails to establish. Options A and B include the Idle state, which indicates that no attempt to connect has been made, making them invalid. Option D includes Open Sent, which is not a state that corresponds to a connection failure.
