1. You are examining the results of the show ip route command - and you notice several OSPF routes bear an O E2 route designator. What does this signify?
Hellos are sent every 60 seconds on multipoint circuits with bandwidth less than T1.
Origin - AS-Path - Next-Hop
These are Type-2 external routes. Again - they define networks outside of the autonomous system and are advertised by Type 5 LSAs. In this case cost is always the external cost only. This is the default OSPF external route type on Cisco routers.
A Priority value of 0 is configured on all routers.
2. How can you temporarily disable a BGP neighborship?
Type 7 LSAs are special external routes that you permit in a Not-So-Stubby area.
Router(config-router)# neighbor ip-address shutdown

4. Name at least two reasons why an OSPF neighbor might be stuck in the EXSTART/EXCHANGE state.
Mismatched interface MTU - Duplicate router IDs on routers - Broken unicast connectivity - Network type of point-to-point between PRI and BRI/dialer
A site with two connections to multiple ISPs. This gives the most redundancy. BGP is used with the ISPs and can be used internally also.
IBGP is a BGP peering relationship between routers in the same autonomous system.
Multiply the IGRP metric by 256.
5. You are using the show ip eigrp topology command to troubleshoot your EIGRP network. You notice an entry is marked as Active. What does this indicate?
A site that has two connections to the same ISP - either from one router or two routers. One might be primary and the other backup - or the site might load balance over both links. Either static or dynamic routing would work in this case.
This network is currently unavailable and installation cannot occur in the routing table. The router is currently searching for a replacement route.
Using the default-network command - you can configure a default route for the EIGRP process so that it propagates to other EIGRP routers within the same autonomous system.
The Network LSA (Type 2) lists all attached routers. These LSAs are produced by the DR on every multi-access network. They are flooded within the originating area.
6. You can manipulate the administrative distance of three different types of OSPF routes. What are the three types?
During the OSPF adjacency process - the Exchange State follows the Exstart State.

Local Preference - Atomic Aggregate
8. What is the Private autonomous system number range used in BGP?
The Private autonomous system number range is 64512[nd]65535.
Using the default-metric command in BGP configuration mode causes all redistributed networks to have the specified MED value.
Origin - Next-hop - Weight - Community - Local preference - Multi Exit Discriminator (MED)
The AS External (Type 5) LSAs advertise an external destination or a default route to an external destination. These LSAs are originated by ASBRs. They are flooded throughout the autonomous system.
9. The metric of EIGRP is compatible with the metric of the earlier Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP). How do you convert the IGRP metric to the form of EIGRP?
Multiply the IGRP metric by 256.
The BGP standards define several filtering-oriented communities for your use: no-export - Do not advertise routes to real External BGP (EBGP) peers - no-advertise - Do not advertise routes to any peer - local-as - Do not advertise routes to any EBGP
A list of networks known by BGP - along with their paths and attributes. To view it - use the show ip bgp command.
The next route selection criteria is for the router to prefer the highest weight (local to router).
10. What is the correct router configuration command that must be issued on all routers in an OSPF area to use the strongest authentication method possible?
