A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1:
R1# show event manager policy registered
No. Type Time Created Name 1 applet 00:01:23 UTC Mar 1 2025 BGP_Neighbor_Down
R1# show bgp neighbors 192.168.1.2
BGP neighbor is 192.168.1.2, remote AS 65002, external link BGP version 4, remote router ID 10.0.0.2 BGP state = Idle Last read 00:00:05, hold time is 180, keepalive interval is 60 seconds
Neighbor sessions:
1 active, is not multisession capable
Based on this output, what is the most likely conclusion?
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
✓
The BGP neighbor is down, and the EEM policy may have been triggered.
The EEM policy BGP_Neighbor_Down is registered, and the BGP neighbor is in Idle state, indicating the session is down. The correct answer is that the BGP neighbor is down, and the EEM policy may have been triggered.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The BGP neighbor is up and running.
Why it's wrong here
The state is Idle, which means the session is down.
- ✓
The BGP neighbor is down, and the EEM policy may have been triggered.
Why this is correct
The Idle state indicates the session is down, which would likely trigger the BGP_Neighbor_Down event.
- ✗
The EEM policy is not registered.
Why it's wrong here
The policy is listed as registered.
- ✗
The BGP session is established.
Why it's wrong here
Idle state means not established.

Same concept, more angles
3 more ways this is tested on 300-410
These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1: R1# show event manager policy registered No. Type Time Created Name 1 applet 00:01:23 UTC Mar 1 2025 OSPF_Neighbor_Down R1# show ip ospf neighbor Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface 10.1.1.2 1 FULL/DR 00:00:36 192.168.1.2 GigabitEthernet0/0 Based on this output, what is the most likely conclusion?
medium- A.The OSPF neighbor is down.
- B.The EEM policy has been triggered.
- ✓ C.The EEM policy is registered but not yet triggered because the OSPF neighbor is up.
- D.The EEM policy is misconfigured.
Why C: The EEM policy OSPF_Neighbor_Down is registered, but the OSPF neighbor is in FULL state. The correct answer is that the EEM policy has not been triggered because the OSPF neighbor is up.
Variation 2. A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1: R1# show event manager policy registered No. Type Time Created Name 1 applet 00:01:23 UTC Mar 1 2025 BGP_Neighbor_Down R1# show bgp summary BGP router identifier 10.0.0.1, local AS number 65001 BGP table version is 1, main routing table version 1 Neighbor V AS MsgRcvd MsgSent TblVer InQ OutQ Up/Down State/PfxRcd 192.168.1.2 4 65002 5 5 1 0 0 00:02:00 Established Based on this output, which statement is correct?
medium- A.The BGP neighbor is down.
- B.The EEM policy has been triggered.
- ✓ C.The BGP neighbor is up and the EEM policy has not been triggered.
- D.The EEM policy is disabled.
Why C: The EEM policy BGP_Neighbor_Down is registered, but the BGP neighbor is in Established state. The correct answer is that the BGP neighbor is up and the EEM policy has not been triggered.
Variation 3. A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1: R1# show event manager policy registered No. Type Time Created Name 1 applet 00:01:23 UTC Mar 1 2025 EIGRP_Neighbor_Down R1# show ip eigrp neighbors IP-EIGRP neighbors for process 100 H Address Interface Hold Uptime SRTT RTO Q Seq (sec) (ms) Cnt Num 0 192.168.1.2 Gi0/0 13 00:02:00 40 200 0 5 Based on this output, what is the most likely problem?
hard- A.The EIGRP neighbor is down.
- B.The EEM policy has been triggered.
- ✓ C.The EIGRP neighbor is up, and the EEM policy is ready to trigger if it goes down.
- D.The EEM policy is misconfigured.
Why C: The EEM policy EIGRP_Neighbor_Down is registered, but the EIGRP neighbor is present with an uptime of 2 minutes. The correct answer is that the EEM policy has not been triggered because the neighbor is up; however, the policy is ready to act if the neighbor goes down.
