Which of the following statements about BGP peering sessions is FALSE?

Step by Step Comprehensive Detailed ExplanationThe statement "eBGP peers have to be adjacent to each other" is false. eBGP peers usually are directly connected to ensure reliable and straightforward communication. However, eBGP multihop allows BGP to establish a session with eBGP peers that are not directly connected by setting the multihop parameter.

A. True: BGP peers need IP reachability between them.

B. True: iBGP peers can be non-adjacent.

C. False: eBGP peers do not necessarily have to be directly connected if multihop is configured.

D. True: BGP peers can be configured with different AS numbers.
