Based on the output given, which statement correctly describes whether or not the BGP session is established between the peers?

R1# show ip bgp summary 
BGP router identifier 10.1.1.1, local AS number 64 
BGP table version is 1, main routing table version 1

Neighbor  V      AS MsgRcvd MsgSent     TblVer      InQ OutQ   Up/Down  State/PfxRcd

Yes, it is in the established state.
No, it is in the active state trying to establish a BGP session.
Yes, it is in active state.
No, it is in the never state.

Explanation: In the output of the show ip bgp summary command, the State/PfxRcd column indicates the current status of the BGP peering relationship. When a BGP session is successfully established, this column does not show a state name; instead, it displays a numeric value representing the number of prefixes received from that neighbor.

If a text string like Active is displayed in this column, it signifies that the BGP session is not yet established. Specifically, the Active state indicates that the router is actively attempting to initiate a TCP connection with the peer to establish the session. Furthermore, the never entry in the Up/Down column confirms that a successful BGP adjacency has never been formed with this neighbor.
