Question

Refer to the exhibit. An administrator working for large ISP must connect its two POP sites to provide internet connectivity to its customers. Which configuration must the administrator perform to establish an iBGP session between routers PE1 on POP site 1 and PE2 on POP site 2?

Why each option

To establish an iBGP session between PEs for customer internet connectivity via MPLS L3VPN, the PE routers must be configured with an iBGP neighbor relationship using loopback interfaces, along with activating the relevant address families to exchange customer routes within their respective VRFs.

APE2#configure terminal

This option provides a correct iBGP neighbor configuration for PE2 but lacks the configuration for the `address-family` specific to handling customer VRF routes, which is crucial for providing customer internet connectivity via L3VPN.

BPE1#configure terminal

This option incorrectly includes the `ebgp-multihop 255` command, which is not applicable to iBGP peering and is specifically for eBGP sessions over non-directly connected interfaces.

CPE1#configure terminal

Similar to A, this option provides a correct iBGP neighbor configuration for PE1 but does not include the necessary `address-family` configuration for exchanging customer VRF routes.

DPE2#configure terminalCorrect

This configuration on PE2 correctly establishes an iBGP neighbor relationship with PE1 (10.0.0.1) using the local Loopback0 as the update source, which is standard for PE-PE iBGP peering. Furthermore, it activates BGP for `address-family ipv4 vrf VPN1`, which is necessary for exchanging IPv4 customer routes within the context of VRF VPN1, thus contributing to providing internet connectivity for customers.
