[All FCSS_NST_SE-7.6 Questions]

Refer to the exhibit, which shows the output of get router info bgp summary.

Which two statements are true? (Choose two.)

AThe local ForliGate has received one prefix from BGP neighbor 100.64.1.254.

BThe TCP connection with BGP neighbor 100.64.2.254 was successful.

CThe local FortiGate has received 18 packets from a BGP neighbor.

DThe local FortiGate is still calculating the prefixes received from BGP neighbor 100.64.2.264

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, C

The get router info bgp summary output lists BGP neighbor status:

Prefix Reception: The 'State/PfxRcd' column shows the number of prefixes received from the neighbor---neighbor 100.64.1.254 has '1', confirming option A.

Received Message Count: Under 'MsgRcvd', 18 packets have been received from neighbor 100.64.1.254. This matches option C.

The second neighbor 100.64.2.254 is in 'Active' state and has received/sent 0 packets, indicating that its TCP connection is NOT established, disproving option B.

There is no indication anywhere that the router is 'still calculating' prefixes; 'Active' just means no session is established, so option D is incorrect.

C seems wrong, I don’t see any packet count mentioned.

Wait, how can D be true? Sounds off.

Haha, looks like someone needs to double-check their BGP configuration! Hope they don't get too "routed" in the exam.

D is incorrect. The output does not indicate the local FortiGate is still calculating prefixes from BGP neighbor 100.64.2.264.

A and B are correct. The output shows the local FortiGate has received one prefix from BGP neighbor 100.64.1.254, and the TCP connection with BGP neighbor 100.64.2.254 was successful.

I feel like I’ve seen questions where the number of packets received was mentioned, but I can't recall if it was specifically 18 like in option C.

I'm a bit confused about option D. I thought if it was still calculating prefixes, it wouldn't show up in the summary at all.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to identify successful BGP connections. I feel like option B could be right based on that.

I've seen this type of BGP output before, so I think I have a good handle on what to look for. I'll carefully review the details and try to identify the two true statements.

Whoa, this is a lot of information to parse through. I'm not sure I fully understand how to interpret the BGP summary. I might need to ask the instructor for some guidance on this one.

Okay, let's see. The key things I need to look for are the number of prefixes received, the BGP neighbor status, and any other relevant details in the output. I think I can work through this.
