RIPE Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Security Practice Test

The number of BGP network commands that can be added to a router is based on what?

A fixed limit defined by the protocol Based on RAM/NVRAM Equal to number of BGP neighbors Unlimited

Correct Answer:

Based on RAM/NVRAM

Explanation:

The number of BGP network statements you can configure on a router is determined by the device’s memory resources. These statements are stored in the router’s configuration data (RAM as the running-config and NVRAM for the startup-config), and the BGP process must keep track of them and potentially advertise them. Since the protocol itself imposes no fixed cap on how many network statements there can be, the practical limit comes from how much RAM/NVRAM is available. It’s not limited by the number of neighbors, and it isn’t unlimited in real hardware.
