The correct answer is D. Implement maximum-paths 2 under the BGP global configuration. The maximum-paths command in BGP allows a router to use multiple paths for load sharing when the AS path length and other BGP best-path criteria are the same. By configuring maximum-paths 2 under the BGP global configuration, R1 can forward traffic across both paths (via R2 and…
Question
Refer to the exhibit. A growing company wants to ensure high availability and redundancy for its critical web servers, which are located in an offsite data center. The network architect decided to implement BGP so that the network can use redundant paths for outbound traffic toward the destination subnet 10.2.2.0/24. A network engineer already configured basic BGP settings on edge router R1, which is a Cisco ASR-1001X router. The engineer also confirmed loopback reachability to routers R2 and R3, and the AS path length toward the destination is the same via R2 and R3. Which action must the engineer take on R1 to complete the implementation?
Exhibit
Options
- AImplement as-path multipath under the BGP neighbor configuration.
- BImplement bestpath as-path multipath-relax under the BGP global configuration.
- CImplement maximum-paths multipath ibgp 2 under the BGP neighbor configuration.
- DImplement maximum-paths 2 under the BGP global configuration.

Explanation
The maximum-paths command in BGP allows a router to use multiple paths for load sharing when the AS path length and other BGP best-path criteria are the same. By configuring maximum-paths 2 under the BGP global configuration, R1 can forward traffic across both paths (via R2 and R3) to ensure high availability and redundancy toward the destination subnet
