Posted by Martina on Nov 24, 2025 at 02:45 AM

Refer to the exihibit.

Refer to the exhibit. An engineer working for a private telecommunication company with an employee id: 3414:81:713 is implementing this network, in which:

Routers R1A and R1B are eBGP neighbors.

iBGP is configured within AS 65515 and AS 65516.

Network 192.168.2.0/24 is shared with AS 65516.

Router R3A has an iBGP relationship with router R2A only.

Router R2A has an iBGP relationship with routers R1A and R3A.

Which additional task must the engineer perform to complete the configuration?

Suggested Answer: C

I feel like A is overlooked. It’s a simple fix that could help.

C is definitely the way to go. It keeps the configuration clean.
LI

D seems too static for this scenario. I prefer dynamic solutions.
MA
Marylou 7 months ago
I'm leaning towards B. Redistributing into IGP makes sense for reachability.
AR
Ardella 7 months ago
I agree, but A could also work. Next-hop-self is useful.

R2A should reflect routes to R1A, makes sense!

Wait, are we sure about that? Seems a bit off.

I think next-hop-self is the way to go here!

Definitely need to set up route reflection for iBGP.
OC

R1A and R1B are eBGP neighbors, right?

This question is a real brain-teaser. But I think the answer is clear - C is the way to go. Gotta love those route reflectors!
MA

Haha, I bet the engineer is wishing they had a cheat sheet for this one. Option C is the way to go, no doubt about it.
DO
Dottie 9 months ago
Hmm, I'm not so sure. Option B might work too, by redistributing the route into the IGP. But C does seem like the most straightforward solution.
SA
Samira 9 months ago
I agree with John. Option C is the way to go here. Configuring R2A as a route reflector is the key to completing this task.
MI
Mickie 9 months ago
Option C seems like the correct answer. Router R2A should be configured as a route reflector to advertise the iBGP learned prefix from R3A to R1A.
BE
Belen 9 months ago
I feel like configuring a static route is usually a last resort. I wonder if there's a better way to handle this with BGP.
ME
Melvin 10 months ago
Ah, I see. The question is really testing our understanding of BGP next-hop behavior. I'll make sure to double-check my work on this one.
CL
Clay 10 months ago
Based on the information provided, I think the answer is C. Configuring R2A as a route reflector seems like the most logical way to get the iBGP learned prefix from R3A to R1A.
EL
Elke 10 months ago
I think option C is the best choice. Route reflectors simplify iBGP.
TW
Twana 10 months ago
I think redistributing the route into IGP might be necessary, but I’m not confident if that’s the best option compared to the others.
MA
Marisha 10 months ago
This question feels familiar; I think we discussed route reflectors in class. Could R2A really act as a route reflector in this scenario?
MA
Margart 11 months ago
I'm a bit confused about the iBGP relationships. I'll need to make sure I understand how the routers are connected before I can decide on the right solution.
KR
Kris 11 months ago
I remember something about next-hop-self being important for eBGP to iBGP route advertisements, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right choice here.
JO
Johnetta 11 months ago
Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The key seems to be how the 192.168.2.0/24 network is being advertised between the ASes.
EA
Earlean 11 months ago
Hmm, this looks like a tricky BGP configuration question. I'll need to carefully review the network topology and requirements to determine the best approach.

It’s all about the iBGP relationships here!

I’m leaning towards option B for route redistribution.
AB

↳ replying to Earlean
But what about the next-hop-self attribute?

I think option C makes the most sense.

This is definitely a complex setup.
