An engineer must design a routing solution for a company that is single-homed to an ISP. The company's goal is to run BGP between the CE and the PE devices. To support running BGP, the company obtained a public AS number and IP subnet from ARIN. Which solution must the engineer select?

Wait, they need a public AS number for this? Didn’t know that!

D? Nah, that’s not how BGP works.

I think B is better, announcing the BGP table makes more sense.

C is a bit off, why would the ISP announce the customer's subnet?

Option A seems right, customer needs to announce their subnet.

I recall that the customer typically announces their own subnet to the ISP, so maybe option A or B could be correct, but I'm not entirely confident.

I feel like I might be mixing up the roles here. Wasn't there a practice question where the ISP announced the BGP table instead?

I think option A sounds familiar because it mentions the customer announcing their public IP subnet, which is something we practiced in class.

I remember studying BGP configurations, but I'm not sure if the customer should announce the subnet or if the ISP does.

I think the key here is that the company is single-homed, so they only need a default route from the ISP. Announcing their own public subnet and having the ISP provide the default is the most straightforward solution that meets the requirements.

I'm a little confused by this question. What's the difference between the ISP announcing the BGP table versus just the default route? Wouldn't the customer want the full BGP table to have visibility into the internet?

Okay, I've got this. The solution is option A - the customer announces their public subnet to the ISP, and the ISP announces the default route to the customer. This allows the customer to advertise their routes and get default connectivity from the ISP.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. There are a few different options, and I'm not sure which one is the correct solution. I'll need to carefully read through the details and think through the different scenarios.

This seems like a straightforward BGP configuration question. I think the key is understanding the requirements - the company has a public AS number and subnet, so they need to announce that to the ISP and have the ISP provide the default route.

Haha, option D is like a game of routing hot potato. 'You take the default, no you take it!' Not very practical for a production network.

I disagree, I think option C is the correct solution because the ISP should announce the customer public IP subnet.

I agree with Veda, because the customer should announce the public IP subnet to the ISP.

I think the engineer must select option A.

I'm going with B. The customer announces their subnet and the ISP shares their full BGP table. That gives the customer more visibility and control over the routing.

True, having the full BGP table from the ISP can definitely be beneficial for the customer.

Option B does provide more visibility with the ISP sharing their full BGP table.

But wouldn't option A also work since the customer is announcing their subnet to the ISP?

I agree, option B seems like the best choice for more control over routing.

Option A seems like the way to go. The customer announces their public subnet and the ISP gives them the default route - simple and straightforward.

Having the customer announce their public IP subnet and the ISP providing the default route just makes sense.

It definitely simplifies the routing process for the company.
