2. When an EIGRP-speaking router receives Hello packets from a neighbor for the first time - How does the router respond if it has matching Hello parameters in the packet?
For the nonbroadcast (NBMA) RFC-compliant mode of operation: Dynamic or manual neighbor configuration? Manual - DR/BDR election required? DR/BDR election
A list of paths to each network used by the router - and the next hop for each network. To view it - use the show ip route command.
The router responds with an update of the routing information it possesses.
Reduce the flooding of LSAs in stable topologies by setting LSAs to 'do not age' - Router(config-if)# ip ospf flood-reduction
3. How often are Hello packets sent on a multipoint circuit with bandwidth less than T1 in an EIGRP environment?
Local Preference - Atomic Aggregate
Hellos are sent every 60 seconds on multipoint circuits with bandwidth less than T1.
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.
String matching ranges and wildcards - brackets '[]' can be used for ranges - and the '.' can match any single character.
4. Once adjacencies are established in the LAN and router information is being maintained - what step follows a router noticing a change and multicasting an LSU to 224.0.0.6?
The Private autonomous system number range is 64512[nd]65535.
The highest IP address of an active interface is selected; any loopback interface overrides this behavior. Therefore - if you have loopback interfaces - the highest IP address on an active loopback interface is selected.
The next step in the update process features the DR acknowledging the LSU and flooding it to all OSPF speakers using multicast 224.0.0.5.
IBGP is a BGP peering relationship between routers in the same autonomous system.
5. Describe Internal BGP.
The highest IP address of an active interface is selected; any loopback interface overrides this behavior. Therefore - if you have loopback interfaces - the highest IP address on an active loopback interface is selected.
Local Preference - Atomic Aggregate
IBGP is a BGP peering relationship between routers in 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. How do you ensure the router ID is changed on a device following the use of the router-id command?
EIGRP uses up to 50 percent of the bandwidth (as set by the bandwidth command) for its operations.
Reduce the flooding of LSAs in stable topologies by setting LSAs to 'do not age' - Router(config-if)# ip ospf flood-reduction
Once using the command - you use the clear ip ospf process to reset the OSPF process and change the router ID.
To display routes matching the AS-path regular expression - use the show ip bgp regexp command.
7. You need to advertise a default route into an area regardless of whether or not a default route exists on the router. What command do you use to configure this?
Cisco routers prefer a higher weight value.

An OSPF stub area is an area into which External LSAs are not flooded (Type 4 and 5 LSAs are blocked.) Type 1 - 2 - and 3 LSAs are still used in a stub area.
Route tagging with communities is always done with a route map. You can specify any number of communities. Communities specified in the set keyword overwrite existing communities unless you specify the additive option.
