Definitely. They're trying to see if we can spot the unnecessary step. I'm going with option C - verify the BGP state is ESTABLISHED.

Haha, I bet the exam writer threw in the no shutdown command just to trip people up. Classic move!

Good point. If the configuration is already in place, then the no shutdown command shouldn't be necessary. We should just need to verify the BGP state to make sure it's ESTABLISHED.

But wait, why would we need to issue the no shutdown command? Shouldn't the BGP session be up and running already?

Yeah, I agree. Updating the source to the loopback interface is a common best practice for BGP peering. That should help stabilize the connection.

Hmm, this question seems pretty straightforward. The configuration provided shows that the neighbor's IP address is the address of the Lo0 interface, so I'd recommend using the loopback interface for the update source.
