Which two statements are true of IBGP peers? (Choose two.)

  • Updates between peers are sent using Reliable Transport Protocol (RTP).
  • BGP updates are sent every 10 seconds.
  • A TCP session must be established before a peer adjacency is made.
  • IBGP peers must be directly connected.
  • Routes learned from an IBGP peer are not propagated to other IBGP peers.

Explanation: BGP requires a TCP session (port 179) to be established before any updates are exchanged. Furthermore, the IBGP split-horizon rule dictates that a router will not advertise a route learned from one IBGP peer to another IBGP peer to prevent routing loops within an AS.
