*Rik,
What you say is correct but mostly for EBGP sessions.
The same changes in IBGP and using the loopback is one amongst the best
practices.
Although things here are in accordance with the question you get in your
exam and dependent on the BGP session type, what we can do is stick to best
practices if nothing is restricting the same.Although this is what I feel.
ideas/corrections always invited.
Regards,
Dara*
