Nokia Certified Network Associate – IP/MPLS Services — Question 4

A BGP session is stuck in the "Connect" state. Which of the following is the most likely reason?

Answer options

• A. The remote BGP peer is properly configured but the local router is not.
• B. The local router is properly configured but the remote BGP peer is not.
• C. The BGP protocol is administratively disabled on the local router.
• D. The BGP protocol is administratively disabled on the remote BGP peer.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because if the local router is properly configured but the remote BGP peer is not, the session will remain in the 'Connect' state. Option A is incorrect as it implies the local router is the issue, while C and D suggest that BGP is disabled, which would prevent any connection attempt rather than being stuck in 'Connect'.
