1. To what IP address does OSPF send packets destined for the Designated Router (DR) and Backup Designated Router (BDR) in the LAN?
OSPF addresses packets to multicast address 224.0.0.6.
The Database Description (DBD) packet type checks for database synchronization between routers.
To reset the value - use the following command on each router: Router(config-router)# auto-cost reference-bandwidth refbw
Router(config-router)# neighbor ip-address route-map name in
2. You need to change the default local preference value applied to all updates coming from external neighbors or originating locally. What command should you use?
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.
Mismatched MTU - Corrupted link-state request packet
Router(config-router)# area area-id default-cost cost
Router(config-router)# neighbor ip-address send-community
3. 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?
Cisco's implementation of OSPF calculates the metric using the following formula: - cost = refbw/bandwidth - The default refbw is 100 Mbps.
This percentage can be changed on a per-interface basis by using the ip bandwidth-percent eigrp interface configuration command.
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.
This network is currently unavailable and installation cannot occur in the routing table. The router is currently searching for a replacement route.
4. What are the three BGP route reception options?
ADD - Adds a line to a prefix-list filter on the remote peer - DELETE - Removes a line from a filter that was previously installed on a remote peer - DELETE ALL - Removes all previously installed filters on the remote peer
BGP peers exchange keepalive messages every 60 seconds by default. These keep the peering session active.
To ensure that the router ID can be pinged - be sure to advertise the address using the appropriate network command.
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.
5. What is the multicast address used by EIGRP for the sending of Hellos and routing updates?
EIGRP uses the multicast IP address of 224.0.0.10 for Hellos and routing updates.
Once using the command - you use the clear ip ospf process to reset the OSPF process and change the router ID.
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.
6. You have a hub and spoke topology - and you are using EIGRP as your IGP. You want only routes that you specify propagated from the spoke of your topology. What EIGRP feature allows you to configure this?
The NSSA External (Type 7) LSA is almost identical to a Type 5 AS External LSA - yet it is used to create Not-So-Stubby Areas. An NSSA ASBR generates this LSA - and an NSSA ABR translates it into a Type 5 LSA - which gets propagated into the OSPF dom
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.
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.
EIGRP stub routing is a feature that allows you to specify the routes that are propagated from the spoke.
7. You need all redistributed networks to have a specified MED value. What command should you use?
Mismatched MTU - Corrupted link-state request packet
Multiply the IGRP metric by 256.
Once using the command - you use the clear ip ospf process to reset the OSPF process and change the router ID.
Using the default-metric command in BGP configuration mode causes all redistributed networks to have the specified MED value.
8. What kind of routing protocol is run within an AS?
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.
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.
Interior Gateway Protocol(IGP)
Hellos are sent every 60 seconds on multipoint circuits with bandwidth less than T1.
9. Notification
The NSSA External (Type 7) LSA is almost identical to a Type 5 AS External LSA - yet it is used to create Not-So-Stubby Areas. An NSSA ASBR generates this LSA - and an NSSA ABR translates it into a Type 5 LSA - which gets propagated into the OSPF dom
The minimum metric of the specific routes is used as the metric of the summary route.
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 ABR might not advertise a summary route for the following reasons:
10. You have a serial point-to-point connection in your OSPF-enabled WAN environment. Is there a DR/BDR election process in this environment by default?
Router(config-router)# area area_id authentication message-digest Note: Additional (interface configuration) commands are required for the configuration of authentication - but this is the router configuration command required.
The O indicates the route is an OSPF intra-area route. The network destination is within the same area as the router on which this command is issued.
No DR/BDR election exists in a point-to-point environment by default.
The next hop router for a backup path is called the feasible successor.
11. What are two possible causes for an ABR not to advertise a summary route?
Type 7 LSAs are special external routes that you permit in a Not-So-Stubby area.
An ABR might not advertise a summary route for the following reasons:
Confederations are another method of solving the IBGP full mesh requirement. Confederations are smaller sub-autonomous systems created within the primary autonomous system to decrease the number of BGP peer connections.
A list of networks known by BGP - along with their paths and attributes. To view it - use the show ip bgp command.
12. Describe External BGP.
The default LSA aging timer is 30 minutes.
External BGP is a BGP peering relationship between routers in different autonomous systems.
EIGRP uses IP protocol number 88.
These routes are Type-1 external routes. They define networks outside of the autonomous system and are advertised by Type 5 LSAs. The cost is calculated by adding the external cost to the internal cost of each link that the packet crosses. The use of
13. How often are Hello packets sent on a point-to-point subinterface in an EIGRP environment?
Hellos are sent every 5 seconds on broadcast links - as well as p2p serial - p2p subinterface - and multipoint circuits greater than T1.
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.
BGP is a path-vector protocol
The correct command is show ip bgp.
14. How can you temporarily disable a BGP neighborship?
Router(config-router)# neighbor ip-address shutdown
On-demand circuit is an enhancement that allows efficient operations over dialup - ISDN - and other on-demand circuits.
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.
EIGRP stub routing is a feature that allows you to specify the routes that are propagated from the spoke.
15. Another method is commonly used to solve the IBGP full mesh requirement. It involves the configuration of smaller sub-autonomous systems created within a primary autonomous system. What are these called?
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.
[AS-number]:[low-order-16-bits]
Confederations are another method of solving the IBGP full mesh requirement. Confederations are smaller sub-autonomous systems created within the primary autonomous system to decrease the number of BGP peer connections.
