How does route preference (administrative distance) affect BGP next hop resolution?

It has no effect on next hop resolution

It determines whether the next hop is directly connected

It determines which route is used to reach the next hop when multiple routes exist

It determines the BGP path selection among multiple BGP routes

What is a common cause of BGP next hop resolution failure?

The route preference is too high

The route is not advertised to all peers

The BGP session is not established

The next hop address is not reachable via any route in the routing table

When is 'next-hop-self' typically configured on a BGP router?

On route reflector clients only

On eBGP sessions to external peers

On iBGP sessions to internal peers

On all BGP sessions regardless of type

In a multi-area OSPF network, Router R1 has an eBGP session with an external provider and is advertising a route to Router R2 over an iBGP session. R2 is in a different OSPF area and cannot reach the original eBGP next hop. The network administrator wants R2 to use R1 as the next hop for this route. What should be configured on R1?

Set 'next-hop-self' on the iBGP session to R2

Change the OSPF area type to NSSA on R2

Enable 'multipath' on the iBGP session

Configure a static route on R2 for the external next hop

What does it mean for a BGP route to be 'resolved' in the routing table?

The route is installed in the forwarding table

The route has been accepted by all BGP policies

The route has been validated by a route reflector

The route's next hop is reachable via an active route in the routing table
