1. How do you override the cost value that is calculated for a particular interface?
No DR/BDR election exists in a point-to-point environment by default.
In EIGRP - a reliability of value 1 indicates a completely unreliable link.
Use the Router(config-if)# ip ospf cost value command to override the cost value that is calculated for a particular interface.
The Cisco mode of Broadcast requires a full mesh topology.
2. What does a Type 3 LSA describe - what router produces it - and Where is it flooded by default?
Changing the weight of a locally sourced route - Tagging source routes with BGP communities - Setting the local preference - Changing the value of the MED
The Network Summary (Type 3) LSA is sent into an area to advertise destinations outside the area. These LSAs are originated by Area Border Routers (ABRs). They flood throughout the autonomous system.
The Cisco mode of Broadcast requires a full mesh topology.
Use the Router(config-if)# ip ospf cost value command to override the cost value that is calculated for a particular interface.
3. When configuring a Not-So-Stubby Area - Where is the appropriate configuration command applied?
The command is applied on all routers in the area.
Reduce the flooding of LSAs in stable topologies by setting LSAs to 'do not age' - Router(config-if)# ip ospf flood-reduction
A list of networks known by BGP - along with their paths and attributes. To view it - use the show ip bgp command.
Use the bgp default local-preference command to change the default local preference value applied to all updates coming from external neighbors or originating locally.
4. What is the command to change the cost of the default route used within a Totally Stubby area?
Router(config-router)# area area-id default-cost cost
When a problem occurs that causes a router to end the BGP peering session - a notificationmessage is sent to the BGP neighbor and the connection is closed.
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.
EIGRP uses IP protocol number 88.
5. How can you temporarily disable a BGP neighborship?
BGP's loop prevention mechanism is an autonomous system number. When an update about a network leaves an autonomous system - that autonomous system's number is prepended to the list of autonomous systems that have handled that update. When an autonom
These route types are OSPF inter-area routes. They define networks outside of the area of the router - but within the autonomous system. Type 3 LSAs are used to advertise these route types.

6. 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?
BGP's loop prevention mechanism is an autonomous system number. When an update about a network leaves an autonomous system - that autonomous system's number is prepended to the list of autonomous systems that have handled that update. When an autonom
Lowest cost route calculated by adding the cost between the next hop router and the destination (AD) and the cost between the local router and the next hop. This sum is referred to as the FD.
The default LSA aging timer is 30 minutes.
Multiply the IGRP metric by 256.
7. 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?
Manually configured
This regular expression matches routes that originated in autonomous system 200.
Aggregator - Community

8. How do you ensure the router ID is changed on a device following the use of the router-id command?
Multi Exit Discriminator.
Border Gateway Protocol
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
Once using the command - you use the clear ip ospf process to reset the OSPF process and change the router ID.
9. Name at least four BGP-related parameters that you can set with a route map.
Origin - Next-hop - Weight - Community - Local preference - Multi Exit Discriminator (MED)
Three different administrative distance values are possible for OSPF[md]intra-area routes - inter-area routes - and external routes. By default all are set to 110.
Default routes from each provider - default routes plus some more specific routes - and all routes from all providers. Either use static routes - or advertise the site routes to the ISP and receive a default route from the ISP.
The network backdoor router configuration command causes the administrative distance assigned to the network to be forced to 200. The goal is to make Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) learned routes preferred.
10. Routing table

To qualify as a feasible successor - a next hop router must have an AD less than the FD of the current successor route. More than one feasible successor can exist.
Reduce the flooding of LSAs in stable topologies by setting LSAs to 'do not age' - Router(config-if)# ip ospf flood-reduction
Route reflectors help address the fact that BGP requires that all BGP peers in the same autonomous system form an Internal BGP (IBGP) session with all peers in the autonomous system.
13. What is the meaning of the following regular expression: _200$
To display routes matching the AS-path regular expression - use the show ip bgp regexp command.

EIGRP uses up to 50 percent of the bandwidth (as set by the bandwidth command) for its operations.
Use the variance command in EIGRP to control load balancing behavior[md]potentially across unequal bandwidth links.
The correct command to configure a Not-So-Stubby Area in OSPF is as follows: Router(config-router)# area area-id nssa [no-redistribution] [default-information-originate]

18. You are examining the results of the show ip route command - and you notice several OSPF routes bear an O IA route designator. What does this signify?
The network backdoor router configuration command causes the administrative distance assigned to the network to be forced to 200. The goal is to make Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) learned routes preferred.
Default routes from each provider - default routes plus some more specific routes - and all routes from all providers. Either use static routes - or advertise the site routes to the ISP and receive a default route from the ISP.
These route types are OSPF inter-area routes. They define networks outside of the area of the router - but within the autonomous system. Type 3 LSAs are used to advertise these route types.

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.
25. What does a router do if that router does not support BGP communities and a route update appears with community information?
A site connected to more than one ISP at the same time. It is done for redundancy and backup if one ISP fails - and for better performance if one ISP provides a better path to frequently used networks. This also gives you an ISP-independent solution.
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.
