Nokia Certified Network Associate – IP/MPLS Services — Question 5

Which of the following statements about BGP is FALSE?

Answer options

• A. Peers need to be IP reachable to establish a BGP session.
• B. Route reflectors can reduce the number of iBGP sessions required.
• C. iBGP peers have to be adjacent to each other.
• D. The multihop parameter needs to be configured when eBGP peers are not adjacent to each other.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because iBGP peers do not need to be directly adjacent; they can be connected through other routers. Options A, B, and D are true statements about BGP operations, as BGP sessions require IP reachability, route reflectors help reduce session counts, and the multihop parameter is necessary for non-adjacent eBGP peers.
