What is the main goal of BGP Prefix Independent Convergence (PIC)?

To reduce the number of BGP neighbors

To achieve fast failover independent of the number of prefixes

What is the purpose of configuring MD5 authentication on a BGP neighbor?

To encrypt the BGP routing updates

To ensure the BGP session remains in Established state

To compress the BGP updates for faster transmission

To verify the identity of the neighbor and protect against spoofing

A service provider is bringing up a new EBGP session between its AS 65001 router and a customer's AS 65002 router. The link is a point-to-point IPv6 link, and the customer requires MD5 authentication. The engineer has configured the neighbor with the customer's global IPv6 address and enabled the neighbor under the IPv6 unicast address family. However, the session remains in Active state. Which additional configuration is required?

Add the password command under the neighbor configuration to match the customer's MD5 key.

Set the ebgp-multihop command to allow the session to use the global address.

Enable the neighbor under the IPv4 unicast address family as well.

Configure the neighbor with the link-local address and activate it under the IPv6 unicast address family.

What is the primary purpose of BGP Additional Paths (Add-Path)?

To advertise multiple best paths for the same prefix

To reduce the number of BGP updates
