   A network administrator is troubleshooting a BGP route advertisement issue on a Dell PowerSwitch. A route that was previously advertised to a peer is no longer being sent, but the route is still in the local BGP table. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe route was filtered out by an outbound route policy.
   • BThe route was not included in the network statement.
   • CThe route was withdrawn by the peer due to a hold timer expiry.
   • DThe route was removed from the local BGP table due to a route flap.

   A data center network has multiple BGP paths to a destination. The network administrator wants to prefer the path with the lowest MED, but only among paths from the same neighboring AS. Which attribute should be used to achieve this?

   • ALocal Preference
   • BWeight
   • CMED
   • DAS Path Length

   A data center fabric is designed with a full mesh of iBGP sessions between all leaf and spine switches. As the fabric grows, the number of sessions increases quadratically, making configuration and troubleshooting difficult. The team decides to implement BGP route reflectors. What is the primary benefit of this change?

   • AIt eliminates the need for an underlying IGP in the fabric.
   • BIt reduces the number of BGP sessions required, as each switch only peers with the route reflectors.
   • CIt allows the use of eBGP instead of iBGP, simplifying configuration.
   • DIt increases the convergence speed by allowing all switches to peer with each other directly.

   In a data center network, what is a common reason to use BGP instead of an interior gateway protocol (IGP) like OSPF?

   • ABGP uses less CPU than OSPF on all hardware
   • BBGP automatically discovers neighbors without configuration
   • CBGP is required for routing between different autonomous systems
   • DBGP provides faster convergence than OSPF in all scenarios
