Which statement explains why the 10.200.3.1 peer is in the Connect state?

  • A The local router initiated the BGP session to 10.200.3.1 but did not receive a response.
  • B The local router is receiving BGP keepalives from the remote peer, but the local peer has not received the OpenConfirm yet.
  • C The router 10.200.3.1 has authentication configured for BGP and the local router does not.
  • D The local router has a different AS number than the remote peer.
Explanation

The BGP Connect state indicates that the local BGP speaker is waiting for the TCP three-way handshake with its peer to complete. This is consistent with the local router having initiated the BGP session but not receiving the response required to finish the TCP connection. BGP authentication and AS-number validation occur later, during BGP OPEN-message processing after TCP connectivity has been established. Cisco: Understand Basic BGP Troubleshoot
