In the following output, the AS number 65200 is for which router?
R1(config-router)# neighbor 10.108.200.1 remote-as 65200
- the neighbor router with the IP address 10.108.200.1
- both routers
- neither router; 65200 is a process ID
- the local router R1
Explanation: In Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) configuration, the neighbor [ip-address] remote-as [as-number] command is used to explicitly define a peering relationship with another BGP speaker. The remote-as keyword specifically identifies the Autonomous System number of the neighbor router being configured.
The local router's own AS number is established when the BGP process is first enabled using the router bgp [as-number] command. In your specific example, the command tells the local router (R1) that the peer at IP address 10.108.200.1 belongs to AS 65200. If the AS number in the remote-as command is the same as the local router's AS, it is an Internal BGP (IBGP) session; if it is different, it is an External BGP (EBGP) session.
