1. 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?
For the Point-to-multipoint nonbroadcast Cisco mode of operation: Dynamic or manual neighbor configuration? Manual - DR/BDR election required? Not required

Multiply the IGRP metric by 256.
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.
2. What are the two methods by which BGP injects local routes into the BGP table?
Cisco routers prefer a higher weight value.
Router(config-router)# neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} prefix-list prefix-listname {in | out}
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.

3. Keepalive
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.
No DR/BDR election exists in a point-to-point environment by default.
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.
BGP peers exchange keepalive messages every 60 seconds by default. These keep the peering session active.
4. What is the formula used by OSPF for the calculation of cost?
