Question

A network engineer asks an LLM-based assistant to generate a BGP configuration to establish an eBGP peering with a provider (AS 65010) from their edge router (AS 65001). The assistant returns a config that includes 'neighbor 203.0.113.1 remote-as 65001' and a 'network 10.0.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0' statement, along with a confident explanation that the peering will come up immediately. Before deploying, which evaluation step BEST validates the accuracy of this AI recommendation?

Accepted Answer

Cross-check the recommendation against the design intent and topology, verifying the remote-as matches the provider's AS (65010) and that the advertised network exists in the routing table

Answer

Trust the assistant's confidence level and deploy directly to production since the syntax is valid IOS CLI

Answer

Re-prompt the LLM with the same request twice and deploy the version that appears in both responses

Answer

Deploy the config in production during a maintenance window and roll back only if the BGP session fails to establish
