To establish an eBGP session between R1 and R2, the correct action is to configure R1 with the neighbor statement that specifies R2's IP address and its autonomous system (AS) number. This is done by using the command neighbor 2.2.2.2 remote-as 65002 under the BGP process on R1. This configuration tells R1 that it should establish a BGP session with a neighbor at IP address 2.2.2.2 which is in AS 65002.
