A network security engineer is attempting to peer a virtual router on a PAN-OS firewall with an external router using the BGP protocol. The peer relationship is not establishing. What command could the engineer run to see the current state of the BGP state between the two devices?
To see the current state of the BGP state between the two devices, the most appropriate command would be 'show routing protocol bgp summary'. This command provides an overview of BGP status, including the state of the peering sessions. It gives a concise summary of all BGP peers and their states, making it easier to quickly identify the status of the BGP connections.
It is between show peer and show summary. Because show peer gives you more info about your peer config, which will need to be verified, B is the best answer. Show summary will give you less info about the peer config and more info about the peering session, which is not established anyways and is therefore less helpful.

Difficult to chose as both provide the BGP peer state: B. show routing protocol bgp peer C. show routing protocol bgp summary Probably B is a little bit more correct answer as the output is split by peers with additional details and there is also an option to add "peer-name <name>" which will filter output for only specific peer, summary shows them all.
Option B is correct. https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-topics/monitoring-bgp-stats-from-palo-alto-panorama/td-p/24689
not sure here would be good to know. All the commands bar D) are valid syntax

This live community post has output from both "show peer" and "show summary" https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-topics/bgp-quot-router-id-quot-and-multiple-peers/td-p/24305 - BOTH show the status / current state between the two devices. Show Peer: Peer status: Established, for 3657 seconds Show summary: peer peer1.4.1: AS 65002, Established, IP 10.10.10.4
