Which of the following statements regarding the BGP error display of a router is false? A. The error occurred at 11:40:39 on March 22, 2010. B. The neighbor IP address for the error is 10.1.1.2. C…

Question

Options

• AThe error occurred at 11:40:39 on March 22, 2010.
• BThe neighbor IP address for the error is 10.1.1.2.
• CThe error may be caused by the incorrect peer AS number.
• DThe log type indicates that the BGP error is caused by the neighbor relationship error.

• A
  83% (30)
• B
  8% (3)
• C
  6% (2)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option A is the false statement because the timestamp visible in the BGP error log does not match the claim of 11:40:39 on March 22, 2010 - the actual log output shows a different time, making this an incorrect reading of the display.

Why the other options are true (and therefore wrong answers to this "which is false" question):

• B is true - the neighbor IP address 10.1.1.2 is directly readable from the log's peer/neighbor field.
• C is true - a misconfigured peer AS number is a valid and common cause of BGP OPEN message errors, which aligns with the error type shown.
• D is true - the log's error type/category field does indicate a neighbor relationship failure (e.g., an OPEN message error), correctly describing the log classification.

Memory tip: On "which is FALSE" questions about log displays, always focus on fields that require exact reading - timestamps are the easiest to misstate by a few seconds or transpose digits. The distractors (B, C, D) describe things that are either directly visible or logically deducible from standard BGP error behavior, making them harder to dispute. If you see a timestamp answer in a "find the false" question, scrutinize it first.
