[All JN0-363 Questions]

Which two statements are correct about the way that BGP propagates routes by default? (Choose two.)

AA route learned by EBGP will be re-advertised to IBGP peers.

BA route learned by IBGP will not be re-advertised lo IBGP peers.

CA route learned by EBGP will not be re-advertised to IBGP peers.

DA route learned by IBGP will be re-advertised to IBGP peers.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, B

By default, BGP will propagate routes learned from EBGP peers to other IBGP peers. However, due to the BGP split-horizon rule, routes learned from one IBGP peer are not re-advertised to another IBGP peer. This behavior is designed to prevent routing information loops within the same AS.

EBGP routes get re-advertised to IBGP, that's correct.

Wait, really? I thought IBGP routes could be shared.

I'm not confident, but I think IBGP routes are supposed to stay within the same AS and not be re-advertised. That sounds like option B again.

I feel like I might be mixing up the rules, but I think EBGP routes can be sent to IBGP peers. Maybe that's option A?

I practiced a similar question, and I believe that IBGP routes aren't re-advertised to other IBGP peers. That might be option B.

I think I remember that routes learned from EBGP can be shared with IBGP peers, but I'm not entirely sure if that's always the case.

I've got a good handle on this topic. The key is that EBGP routes are re-advertised to IBGP peers by default, but IBGP routes are not re-advertised to other IBGP peers by default. That should help me identify the two correct statements.

I'm a bit confused on the difference between re-advertising and not re-advertising routes. I'll need to review my BGP notes to make sure I have that distinction clear.

Okay, let me think this through. I know EBGP is for external BGP peers, and IBGP is for internal BGP peers. I think the key is understanding the default behavior for route propagation in each case.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the key differences between EBGP and IBGP before answering.

I agree with Maricela, but I also think option D is correct because IBGP routes are re-advertised to IBGP peers.

B and C seem right to me. I don't want to re-advertise routes learned from my IBGP peers to other IBGP peers, that would just create routing loops. And EBGP routes definitely shouldn't go back out to IBGP.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. I know there's some weird BGP behavior with route propagation, but I can never keep it straight. Maybe I should have studied that section more during my preparation.

I think the correct answers are A and D. It makes sense that a route learned from an external BGP peer would be propagated to internal BGP peers, but not the other way around.
