300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command to troubleshoot BFD…
A network engineer runs the following command to troubleshoot BFD with BGP:
R1# show bgp ipv4 unicast 10.3.3.0/24
BGP routing table entry for 10.3.3.0/24, version 2 Paths: (1 available, best #1, table default) Advertised to update-groups: 1 Refresh Epoch 1 Local
10.1.1.2 from 10.1.1.2 (2.2.2.2)
Origin IGP, metric 0, localpref 100, valid, external, best rx pathid: 0, tx pathid: 0x0 BFD enabled, BFD state: UP
What does this output indicate?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
BGP is using BFD with state UP, enabling sub-second failure detection for this prefix.
The output shows that BFD is enabled for the BGP session and the BFD state is UP, indicating fast failure detection for the BGP neighbor.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
BGP is using BFD with state UP, enabling sub-second failure detection for this prefix.
Why this is correct
BFD is enabled and UP, allowing BGP to detect failures faster than BGP keepalive/hold timers.
- ✗
BFD is disabled for this BGP neighbor.
Why it's wrong here
The output shows 'BFD enabled'.
- ✗
BFD state is DOWN, so BGP uses its own timers.
Why it's wrong here
BFD state is UP, not DOWN.
- ✗
BGP is using BFD only for IPv6 prefixes.
Why it's wrong here
This is an IPv4 unicast prefix; BFD is enabled for IPv4.
