Tasks
Configure R3 according to the topology to achieve these results:
1. Configure eBGP using Loopback 0 for the router-id. Do not use the address-family command to accomplish this.
2. Advertise R3’s Loopback 100 and Loopback 200 networks to AS110 and AS120.

Solution
You can practice this sim with our own simulator or EVE-NG file at:
+ eBGP Neighbor Sim Online Simulator
+ EVE-NG files (IOS used: [Link]. Please unzip once and import the sub-zip files)
Note: There are some variations of this sim. It may require to configure R1 or R2 instead of R3. Please also check the AS numbers carefully as they
may be different.
Task 1. Configure eBGP using Loopback 0 for the router-id. Do not use the address-family command to accomplish this.
Please check the IP address of the Loopback0 interface with the command “show ip int brief”. Suppose it is [Link] in this case.
R3:
router bgp 130
bgp router-id [Link]
neighbor [Link] remote-as 110
neighbor [Link] remote-as 120
Task 2. Advertise R3’s Loopback 100 and Loopback 200 networks to AS110 and AS120.
[Link] 3/14
08/10/2025, 12:32 ENCOR Training » eBGP Neighbor Sim
Please check the IP addresses and subnet masks of Lo100 ([Link]/32) & Lo200 ([Link]/32) interfaces carefully to match with the
“network” commands below (with “show run” command). Suppose in this case the subnet masks of Lo100 & Lo200 IPs both are /32:
R3 (under "router bgp 130"):
network [Link] mask [Link]
network [Link] mask [Link]
Note: If you cannot configure two “network” commands above directly under “router bgp 130” then you should use the “address-family ipv4”
command first. It seems new IOS versions only allow to configure “network” command under “address-family ipv4” mode.
Verification
Check on R1, R2 to see if they have the IP addresses of Lo100 & Lo200 interfaces of R3 in their routing table with the “show ip route bgp” (or “show
ip route” or “show ip bgp”) command.
R1#show ip bgp summary

[Link] 4 130 6 6 3 0 0 00:02:23 2
-> If the “State/PfxRcd” field has a number then BGP relationship is up.

Hello @digitaltut ,do we have any suggested solution for eBGP Neighbor Sim ?
2. BillyGunner
October 12th, 2023
I got a version of this SIM today. My AS’s were different, and it was R1 to be configured (the other router 2 and 3 were already fully configured
for eBGP. My config was something like this
[Link] 4/14
08/10/2025, 12:32 ENCOR Training » eBGP Neighbor Sim
router bgp 100
bgp router-id [Link] #r1 loopback IP
neighbor [Link] remote-as 200 # to r2
neighbor [Link] remote-as 300 # to r3
network [Link] mask [Link] # r1 lo100
network [Link] mask [Link] # r1 lo200
BGP came up between the routers. Validate #show ip route bgp on the r2 and r3 to see the 2 x advertised Loopbacks.

Hi @digitaltut,thank you for your prompt feedback and action .Much appreciated .

October 12th, 2023
Thank you BillyGunner ,I assume the concept is still the same despite the changes in routers that are to be configured .Thank you so much .
5. BillyGunner
October 12th, 2023
@TSM yes, concept is the very same, same tasks. Good luck!

task.1 Do not use the address-family command to do this.
Can I use the address-family command in R3 settings? ? ?
7. digitaltut
October 14th, 2023
@XYZ: Thank you for your detection. We updated the solution, we don’t need to configure anything under “address-family ipv4” to establish
eBGP neighbor relationship.

Just passed the CCNP today. These SIMs were there and this one in particular I got two times. But, the second one had different AS numbers.
One version has for example AS 100 and other AS 10 and maybe slight IP difference on loopback. Otherwise it is the same.

In Task 2. Advertise R3’s Loopback 100 and Loopback 200 networks to AS110 and AS120.
*****Please check the IP addresses and subnet masks of Lo100 ([Link]/32) & Lo200 ([Link]/32) <——— this should be

Test is supposed to run L2/L3 versions of:
R1#sh ver | s Version
Cisco IOS Software [IOSXE], Linux Software (X86_64BI_LINUX-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M), Version 17
.x.x
Can be obtained via CML (even new free version) or search string “x86_64_crb_linux-adventerprisek9-ms”
Note: this version did not force address-family format for network commands.

“Do not use the address-family command to accomplish this.” What do they expect by this restriction. If exam version doesnt support network
command under main process, is it ok to use address-family command

today passed the exam. 52Q, 6 Labs. There were a lot of new questions that are not in this dump. The lab tasks were the same as the shared
here.

@digitaltut please check, the ip addresses of the R3 L100 and 200 interfaces in the eve ng config differ from what you mentioned here,
On the site:
interface lo100
ip address [Link] [Link]
interface lo200
ip address [Link] [Link]
On eve ng:
Loopback100 [Link] YES TFTP up up
Loopback200 [Link] YES TFTP up up

^ When doing verification i was unable to see routes in routing table, had to advertise the correct loopback addresses
26. LGNOverwatch73

Hi DigitalTUT,
Please correct the LAB value config as the loopback interface ip configured is incorrect, or is this part of the troubleshooting? hahaha.
The loopback interface currently configured are as follow (in the EVE-NG file):
R3#show ip int brief
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
Ethernet0/0 [Link] YES TFTP up up
Ethernet0/1 [Link] YES TFTP up up
[Link] 8/14
08/10/2025, 12:32 ENCOR Training » eBGP Neighbor Sim
Ethernet0/2 unassigned YES TFTP administratively down down
Ethernet0/3 unassigned YES TFTP administratively down down
Loopback0 [Link] YES TFTP up up
Loopback100 [Link] YES TFTP up up
Loopback200 [Link] YES TFTP up up
The question or LAB is requesting to advertise loopback interface IP’s below (the Value in the Questions):
R3 (under “router bgp 130”):
network [Link] mask [Link]
network [Link] mask [Link]
So I have to do this to match the configuration to achieve the tasks.
R3#
conf t
interface loopback 100
ip address [Link] [Link]
exit
interface loopback 200
ip address [Link] [Link]
end
Thank you!
