20+ practice questions focused on Bgp — one of the most tested topics on the ENCOR 350-401 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Bgp PracticeDrag and drop each NAPALM getter on the left to its matching returned data on the right.
Explanation: get_facts returns device facts like hostname and OS version, get_interfaces returns interface details, get_bgp_neighbors returns BGP neighbor information, get_lldp_neighbors returns LLDP neighbor data, and get_environment returns power and fan status.
Drag and drop the steps of BGP policy application (route-map, prefix-list, AS-path ACL) into the correct order, from first to last.
Explanation: Policy application starts with defining match criteria (prefix-list or AS-path ACL), then creating a route-map with permit/deny and set actions, applying it to a neighbor, and finally verifying the policy effect.
Drag and drop the steps of BGP graceful restart negotiation steps into the correct order, from first to last.
Explanation: Graceful restart begins with the restarting router sending an OPEN message with the graceful restart capability, followed by the peer acknowledging, then the restarting router marking routes as stale, and finally the peer sending End-of-RIB markers.
Which BGP attribute is preferred when it has the lowest value?
Explanation: BGP uses multiple attributes in its path selection algorithm. The weight attribute is Cisco-specific and is preferred with the highest value. The local preference is also preferred with the highest value. The MED (Multi-Exit Discriminator) is preferred with the lowest value.
A network administrator is troubleshooting a BGP routing issue where routes from an eBGP neighbor are not being installed in the routing table. The 'show ip bgp' output shows the routes are received but not valid. What is the most likely cause?
Explanation: For a BGP route to be considered valid and installed in the routing table, the next-hop IP address must be reachable via an IGP or a static route. If the next hop is not reachable, the route will appear in the 'show ip bgp' output but will be marked as not valid (often with a 'r' for received but not valid). This is the most common cause when routes are received from an eBGP neighbor but not installed.

Practice all Bgp questions1. Baseline your knowledge
Start with 10 questions to gauge your current understanding of Bgp. This tells you whether you need a concept refresher or just practice.
2. Review every explanation
For each question — right or wrong — read the full explanation. Understanding why an answer is correct is more valuable than knowing the answer itself.
3. Focus on exam traps
Bgp questions on the 350-401 frequently use trap wording. Look for subtle differences in answers that test your precision, not just general knowledge.
4. Reach 80% consistently
Do repeated sessions until you score 80%+ three times in a row. Then move to mixed-mode practice to test cross-topic recall under realistic conditions.
The exact number varies per candidate. Bgp is tested as part of the ENCOR 350-401 blueprint. Practicing with targeted Bgp questions ensures you can handle any format or difficulty that appears.
