1. What is the default origin code for BGP routes that you inject using redistribution?
The default origin code for BGP routes that you inject using redistribution is unknown.
BGP speakers
An ABR might not advertise a summary route for the following reasons:
BGP peer groups would be ideal for this situation.
2. Describe a multihomed network.
A transit AS is an AS through which traffic to another AS travels - such as with an ISP.
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.
200
BGP peers exchange keepalive messages every 60 seconds by default. These keep the peering session active.
3. Over which IP protocol does BGP communicate?
An ABR might not advertise a summary route for the following reasons:
BGP communicates over TCP port 179
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.
Hellos are sent every 5 seconds on broadcast links - as well as p2p serial - p2p subinterface - and multipoint circuits greater than T1.
4. Name at least one reason why an OSPF neighbor might be stuck in the LOADING state.
External BGP is a BGP peering relationship between routers in different autonomous systems.
Mismatched MTU - Corrupted link-state request packet
BGP peer groups would be ideal for this situation.

5. What is the term for routing between Autonomous Systems?
Exterior Gateway Protocol(EGP). BGP v4 is the only EGP currently in use.
EIGRP stub routing is a feature that allows you to specify the routes that are propagated from the spoke.
Interdomain routing
Using the default-metric command in BGP configuration mode causes all redistributed networks to have the specified MED value.
6. Open
After a neighbor is configured - BGP sends an open message to try to establish peering with that neighbor. Includes information such as autonomous system number - router ID - and hold time.
The neighbor command can be used to manually configure a neighbor in a NBMA OSPF environment. The full syntax of the command is: - Router(config-router)# neighbor ip-address [priority number] [poll-interval seconds] [cost number] [database-filter all
EIGRP uses the multicast IP address of 224.0.0.10 for Hellos and routing updates.
The default cost of the default route is 1.
7. What does a Type 1 LSA describe and Where is this LSA flooded?

8. What does a router do if that router does not support BGP communities and a route update appears with community information?
Use the variance command in EIGRP to control load balancing behavior[md]potentially across unequal bandwidth links.

EIGRP uses the multicast IP address of 224.0.0.10 for Hellos and routing updates.
Packets that require acknowledgement are as follows: Update - Query - Reply
Once using the command - you use the clear ip ospf process to reset the OSPF process and change the router ID.

15. 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?
Origin - AS-Path - Next-Hop

17. Describe an autonomous system(AS).
OSPF addresses packets to multicast address 224.0.0.6.
An autonomous system is a group of networks under a common administration. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority(IANA) assigns AS numbers: 1 to 64511 are public AS numbers and 64512 to 65535 are private AS numbers.
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.
