Question 270
At the Bayview university campus, an eBGP neighbor begins advertising unrelated routes and R-BAY-DIST1 installs more prefixes than the agreed customer set. Which underlying technical condition best accounts for this evidence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The current inbound BGP policy fails to constrain accepted advertisements to contracted prefixes. That explains the specific symptom at the Bayview university campus. A direct corrective action is: Attach an inbound BGP prefix filter that explicitly permits the authorized customer set and rejects the rest.
Incorrect Answers
That diagnosis belongs to bgp cisco weight local only, while the observation at the Bayview university campus points to bgp inbound prefix filtering.
The observation at the Bayview university campus does not point to ebgp non-direct neighbor multihop; it points to a different condition. The current inbound BGP policy fails to constrain accepted advertisements to contracted prefixes.
This diagnoses a different mechanism: BGP local preference is examined before AS-path length, and the present attributes favor the wrong exit. The reported symptom at the Bayview university campus instead concerns bgp inbound prefix filtering.
