Answer analysis

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✓
Enter configuration mode, then enable BGP, then define the neighbor, then advertise prefixes, then verify.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because you must first enter config mode to make changes, then enable BGP routing, define the BGP neighbor (the Direct Connect peer), advertise the desired prefixes, and finally verify the configuration to ensure it is working.
✗
Enable BGP, then enter configuration mode, then define the neighbor, then advertise prefixes, then verify.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot enable BGP without first being in configuration mode. Configuration mode must be entered before issuing BGP-related commands.
✗
Enter configuration mode, then enable BGP, then advertise prefixes, then define the neighbor, then verify.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you must define the BGP neighbor before you can advertise prefixes to that neighbor. Advertising prefixes without defining the neighbor first will fail.
✗
Enter configuration mode, then enable BGP, then define the neighbor, then verify, then advertise prefixes.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because verification should occur after advertising prefixes, not before. You need to advertise prefixes first to confirm they are being exchanged with the neighbor.
