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
✓
show ip bgp <prefix>
BGP path selection can be verified using 'show ip bgp <prefix>' to see the best path and all paths, 'show ip bgp neighbors <neighbor> routes' to see received routes, and 'show ip bgp' to see the BGP table summary. 'show ip route bgp' shows only the RIB, not the BGP decision process. 'show ip bgp community' filters by community but does not show path selection details.
