Which one of the following statements about BGP is FALSE?
A.
BGP uses TCP port 179.
B.
BGP ensures reliability of updates by using the reliable transport services of TCP.
C.
The network command with the mask option never installs a prefix into the BGP table unless there is a matching prefix exists in the IP route table.
D.
A TCP connection is required before exchanging updates.
E.
BGP uses notification and the update messages to establish and maintain the BGP neighbor relationship.
Answer: E
Explanation
An underlying connection between two BGP speakers is established before any routing information is exchanged. This connection takes place on TCP port 179.
Unlike other routing protocols, the router must be manually configured with the neighbor information on both sides of the connection -> E is correct (which is FALSE in this question)
