Question

Refer to the exhibit. Routers R1 and R2 support traffic between multiple departments at a company's remote office and exchange routes using OSPF. The link between R1 and R2 has been providing inconsistent performance, particularly during times of peak usage. To help Identify the cause, an engineer was asked to implement BFD to detect failures on the link. Which task must the engineer perform?

Explanation

Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is used to detect failures on links quickly. Echo mode is a feature of BFD that can detect failures in asymmetric routing environments by sending echo packets between the devices. This mode operates independently of the control plane and ensures accurate detection even during high traffic or network asymmetries. Enabling echo mode on both R1 and R2 will help identify and resolve the inconsistency in link performance during
