BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is a protocol designed to exchange routing and reachability information among autonomous systems (AS) on the internet1.

• Option A is correct. When an EBGP router advertises routes to its neighbors, it appends its AS number to the AS_PATH attribute1. This is a key mechanism in BGP to prevent routing loops1.
• Option C is correct. BGP has a built-in loop prevention mechanism whereby if a BGP router detects its own AS in the AS_PATH attribute, it will drop the prefix and will not continue to advertise it2. This helps to prevent routing loops2.
• Option B is incorrect. EBGP routers do not accept routes that contain their own AS number in the AS_PATH2. Instead, they drop such routes as part of the loop prevention mechanism2.
• Option D is incorrect. While it’s true that EBGP routers append their AS number when advertising routes, they do not prepend their AS number1. The term “prepend” in BGP usually refers to a technique used to influence path selection by artificially lengthening the AS_PATH3.

• Option B is correct. Filter-based forwarding (FBF), also known as Policy Based Routing (PBR), uses the forwarding routing instance type12.
• Option C is correct. Routing Information Base (RIB) groups are used to copy routes from one routing table to another34. In the context of FBF, RIB groups can be used to copy routes from the inet.0 routing table34.
• Option A is incorrect. FBF does not use the no-forwarding routing instance type15.
• Option D is incorrect. RIB groups are not used to hide routes in the inet.0 routing table34. They are used to share or copy routes between different routing tables34.

• A broadcast storm is a network condition where a large number of broadcast packets are sent and received by multiple devices, causing congestion and performance degradation1. A broadcast storm can occur when there are loops in the network topology, meaning that there are multiple paths between two devices2.
• A spanning tree protocol is a network protocol that prevents loops from being formed when switches or bridges are interconnected via multiple paths. It does this by creating a logical tree structure that spans all the devices in the network, and disabling or blocking the links that are not part of the tree, leaving a single active path between any two devices3.
• By eliminating loops, a spanning tree protocol also eliminates broadcast storms, as broadcast packets will not be forwarded endlessly along the looped paths. Instead, broadcast packets will be sent only along the tree structure, reaching each device once and avoiding congestion3.
