1. You want to improve the troubleshooting capabilities of your administration of an OSPF network. You plan to do this by making sure you can ping each router ID of each router. How can you accomplish this?
The default value of the MED attribute is 0.
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.
To ensure that the router ID can be pinged - be sure to advertise the address using the appropriate network command.
IP network numbers and subnet masks (prefix-list or access-list) - Route originator - Next hop - Origin code - Tag value attached to an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) route - AS-path - Community - IGP route type

The BGP process injects local routes in two different ways[md]1) using the network configuration commands and 2) using redistribution by another routing protocol.
4. What is the correct syntax to find community attributes in routing updates?
The no-summary keyword needs to be used on the ABR only.

24. What does a router do if that router does not support BGP communities and a route update appears with community information?
