A network engineer runs the following command on Router R6:
R6# show ip bgp vpnv4 all summary
BGP router identifier 10.0.0.6, local AS number 65000 BGP table version is 10, main routing table version 10 10 network entries using 1440 bytes of memory 10 path entries using 800 bytes of memory 4/3 BGP path/bestpath attribute entries using 576 bytes of memory 2 BGP AS-PATH entries using 48 bytes of memory 0 BGP route-map cache entries using 0 bytes of memory 0 BGP filter-list cache entries using 0 bytes of memory Bitfield cache entries: current 1 (at peak 2) using 32 bytes of memory BGP using 2896 total bytes of memory BGP activity 20/10 prefixes, 20/10 paths, scan interval 60 secs

Based on this output, what can be concluded?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misinterpretation of the 'State/PfxRcd' column, where candidates mistakenly think a numeric value indicates a state like 'Idle' or 'Active', rather than recognizing it as the count of received prefixes confirming an Established session.
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 router is receiving VPNv4 prefixes from both neighbors.
The output shows that neighbor 10.0.0.7 (AS 65001) has 5 prefixes received (State/PfxRcd = 5) and neighbor 10.0.0.8 (AS 65002) has 3 prefixes received (State/PfxRcd = 3). Since the command 'show ip bgp vpnv4 all summary' specifically displays VPNv4 address family information, these received prefixes are VPNv4 routes. Therefore, Router R6 is successfully receiving VPNv4 prefixes from both BGP neighbors.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Both BGP sessions are in the Idle state.
Why it's wrong here
The State/PfxRcd column shows numbers (5 and 3), not Idle, indicating the sessions are established.
- ✓
The router is receiving VPNv4 prefixes from both neighbors.
Why this is correct
The State/PfxRcd shows 5 and 3 prefixes received, confirming VPNv4 route exchange.
- ✗
The BGP table has no entries because the table version is 10.
Why it's wrong here
The table version indicates the number of changes, not the absence of entries; there are 10 network entries.
- ✗
The neighbor 10.0.0.8 is not configured for VPNv4.
Why it's wrong here
The output shows prefixes received from 10.0.0.8, so it is configured for VPNv4.
