Answers
D.

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

The BGP summary output shows the state of the 10.200.3.1 peer as 'Connect.' This state indicates that the local router has attempted to initiate a BGP session with the peer, but the peer has not yet responded to the initial connection request.

State Explanation: The 'Connect' state in BGP indicates that the TCP connection has been initiated but is waiting for a response. If the peer does not respond within the configured timers, the session will transition to the 'Active' state and retry the connection.

Possible Causes: This can occur due to network issues preventing the peer from responding, a misconfiguration on the peer device, or issues like access control lists (ACLs) blocking the BGP traffic.

To troubleshoot, check the connectivity between the routers, ensure that the BGP configurations on both sides match, and verify that there are no firewalls or ACLs blocking the BGP packets.
