The router-id is configured in both the system view and the BGP view of the router, since the BGP view has a higher priority, BGP uses the router-id in the BGP view.

Question

Options

• ATRUE
• BFALSE

• A
  80% (20)
• B
  20% (5)

Explanation

Option A (TRUE) is correct because in Huawei VRP (and similar vendor implementations), configuration scope priority follows a "most specific wins" rule - the BGP view is more specific than the system view, so the router-id set within BGP process configuration takes precedence over the globally configured system router-id. This allows operators to use one router-id for the overall device identity and a different one specifically for BGP peering, giving fine-grained control.

Option B (FALSE) is wrong because it assumes the system-level configuration always wins, which inverts the actual priority hierarchy - more specific (process-level) configuration overrides more general (global) configuration.

Memory tip: Think "closer wins" - the router-id configured inside the BGP view is closer to BGP itself, so BGP uses it. Just like a local variable in a function shadows a global variable in programming.
