What network information is, without additional configuration, shared between two iBGP neighbors by default?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

iBGP works by exchanging routing information between two or more routers within an AS. Each router sends its own routing table to its neighbors, which contains information about the networks it knows and how they can be reached from that router. By default, iBGP neighbors only share BGP routes learned from eBGP neighbors, which are routers in different ASes. This is because iBGP assumes that all routers within an AS have consistent internal routing information provided by an IGP, such as OSPF or IS-IS. Therefore, iBGP neighbors do not need to share IP address information of loopback interfaces or directly connected interfaces, unless explicitly configured to do so by using commands such as neighbor update-source or network.

I agree with C too. eBGP routes make sense in iBGP.

I feel like it's B. Loopback IPs are crucial for stability.

Definitely not A, it's all about eBGP routes.

It's C, BGP routes from eBGP neighbors.

I thought iBGP only shared routes, not IP address info from interfaces. This question is a bit tricky!

Pretty sure the answer is C, since iBGP is supposed to carry routes from eBGP, right? I feel like I've seen a similar question before.

I remember something about loopback interfaces, but I can't recall if that info is shared without extra config.

I think iBGP neighbors share routes learned from eBGP neighbors by default, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only thing.
