A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1:
R1# show ip bgp 10.1.1.0/24
BGP routing table entry for 10.1.1.0/24, version 10 Paths: (1 available, best #1, table default) Advertised to update-groups: 1 Refresh Epoch 1 Local
10.2.2.2 from 10.2.2.2 (2.2.2.2)
Origin IGP, metric 0, localpref 100, valid, external, best rx pathid: 0, tx pathid: 0x0 Community: 100:200
Based on this output, what is the problem?
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 route 10.1.1.0/24 is redistributed from an IGP into BGP, as indicated by the 'Local' path.
The output shows a BGP route with 'Local' as the path, meaning it was redistributed into BGP locally. The origin is IGP, and the community is 100:200. The route is valid and best. However, the 'Local' path indicates redistribution from an IGP into BGP, which is common in redistribution scenarios.
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 route 10.1.1.0/24 is learned via an eBGP session and has a local preference of 100.
Why it's wrong here
The route is marked as 'Local', meaning it was redistributed from an IGP, not learned via eBGP.
- ✓
The route 10.1.1.0/24 is redistributed from an IGP into BGP, as indicated by the 'Local' path.
Why this is correct
The 'Local' path attribute in BGP indicates the route was originated locally via network statement or redistribution from an IGP.
- ✗
The community 100:200 is automatically assigned by BGP for all redistributed routes.
Why it's wrong here
Communities are not automatically assigned; they must be configured via route-maps.
- ✗
The route is not being advertised to any peers because it is not marked as best.
Why it's wrong here
The route is marked as best, so it is advertised.
