   In Dell SONiC, what does the 'network' command under BGP configuration mode do?

   • AIt instructs BGP to advertise a specific prefix if it is present in the routing table.
   • BIt defines the network range that BGP will listen on for incoming connections.
   • CIt redistributes routes from another routing protocol into BGP.
   • DIt creates a static route in the routing table for the specified prefix.

   Which statement accurately describes the role of BGP in a network?

   • ABGP is a distance-vector protocol that exchanges entire routing tables with all directly connected neighbors.
   • BBGP is a link-state protocol that builds a complete network topology map using SPF calculations.
   • CBGP is a path-vector protocol that exchanges reachability information and path attributes between autonomous systems.
   • DBGP is an interior gateway protocol designed to rapidly converge within a single routing domain.

   A Dell SONiC switch shows a BGP neighbor in the 'Active' state. What does this indicate about the session establishment?

   • AThe BGP session is fully established and exchanging routes.
   • BThe router has received the OPEN message and is sending a keepalive.
   • CThe router is waiting for the hold timer to expire before resetting the session.
   • DThe router is actively trying to establish a TCP connection to the neighbor.
