Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
set protocols bgp group ebgp hold-time 180
Why it's wrong here
Hold-time changes timer intervals, not TTL behavior.
- ✓
set protocols bgp group ebgp multihop ttl 255
Why this is correct
Configuring multihop sets an appropriate TTL for non-directly connected eBGP sessions.
- ✗
set protocols bgp group ebgp passive
Why it's wrong here
Passive mode only prevents the router from initiating the TCP connection.
- ✗
set protocols bgp group ebgp disable-ttl-drop
Why it's wrong here
This command does not exist in Junos.
