Which command allows a router to accept BGP connections to external peers residing on networks that are not directly connected?

• A. neighbor ip-address ebgp-multihop
• B. neighbor ip-address multihop ebgp
• C. ebgp-multihop neighbor ip-address
• D. neighbor ebgp-multihop ip-address

Answer: (B)

The capability being tested is EBGP multihop, which lets a router form a BGP session with a neighbor that isn’t directly connected, by allowing the TCP connection to traverse intermediate routers. The command shown in the chosen option specifies the neighbor’s IP and then enables multihop for an EBGP session, signaling that this external peer can be reached over multiple hops. This exact combination is what allows the router to accept and establish BGP connections with external peers residing on networks not directly attached to the local router. The other variants place the keywords in a sequence or structure that isn’t recognized by the same CLI, or would imply different configurations, so they don’t correctly enable EBGP multihop in this context.
