FCSS_NST_SE-7.6 · Question #80

Refer to the exhibit, which shows the output of a BGP debug command. Why has the local router at 172.16.23.58 been unable to establish adjacency with its only neighbor?

The correct answer is C. The local router has not received a SYN/ACK packet from the neighbor. In BGP's Connect state the router has sent the initial TCP SYN but hasn't received the SYN/ACK from its peer, so the TCP handshake never completes and adjacency can't form.
