350-401 Practice Question: Issues the following command on Router R3: R3#…
A network engineer issues the following command on Router R3:
R3# show ip bgp summary
BGP router identifier 10.0.0.3, local AS number 65003 BGP table version is 12345, main routing table version 12345
Neighbor V AS MsgRcvd MsgSent TblVer InQ OutQ Up/Down State/PfxRcd 192.168.1.1 4 65001 12345 12345 12345 0 0 1w2d 150 192.168.1.2 4 65002 12345 12345 12345 0 0 2w0d 200
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 understanding it represents the number of received prefixes.
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
✓
Router R3 has received a total of 350 prefixes from its BGP neighbors.
The 'State/PfxRcd' column shows the number of prefixes received from each neighbor. Router R3 has received 150 prefixes from 192.168.1.1 and 200 prefixes from 192.168.1.2, totaling 350 prefixes. This confirms that both BGP sessions are established and exchanging routes.
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 neighbors are in the 'Idle' state.
Why it's wrong here
The State/PfxRcd column shows numbers (150, 200), which means the session is established and prefixes are received.
- ✓
Router R3 has received a total of 350 prefixes from its BGP neighbors.
Why this is correct
150 + 200 = 350 prefixes received.
- ✗
The BGP session with 192.168.1.1 is down.
Why it's wrong here
The presence of 150 prefixes indicates the session is up.
- ✗
Router R3 is in AS 65001.
Why it's wrong here
The local AS number is 65003, not 65001.
