Which command must be run on a Cisco IOS device to configure six parallel iBGP and eBGP routes that can be installed into a routing table?

Question

Options

• Amaximum paths bgp 6
• Bmultipath eibgp 6
• Cmaximum paths bgp routers 6
• Dmaximum-paths eibgp 6

• A

• B
  12% (7)
• C
  5% (3)
• D
  3% (2)

Explanation

Cisco IOS supports BGP Multipath for installing multiple equal-cost BGP routes (both iBGP and eBGP) into the routing table. The correct global BGP command syntax to set the number of allowable parallel BGP paths is: maximum-paths <number> For BGP specifically, the form is: maximum-paths bgp <number> This enables the router to install up to the specified number of equal-cost BGP routes (iBGP and eBGP) into the RIB and then potentially into the FIB. maximum-paths bgp 6 allows six parallel ECMP paths learned via BGP--this matches the requirement in the question.
