1. What are the basic commands to enable BGP - define a BGP peer relationship and advertise a network?

45. What is a BGP black hole and how is it avoided?

Rule: Router must be known by an IGP before it may be advertised by BGP peers.<br />Prevents 'blackholes' when AS is a transit network and not all speaker are running BGP<br />Should be left on it AS is a transit AS and not all routers run BGP.<br />
When not all routers within a transit AS have consistent routing information - due to not running BGP or misconfiguration or BPG speakers. Routing information is advertised but since not all routers within AS can reach the destination traffic is halt


46. Explain the AS-Path attribute.

Unicast uses a routing table looking and forwards towards the destination address.<br />Multicast forwards out multiple interfaces and away from the source and towards multiple destinations using a distribution tree.<br /> Multicast


48. Name a significant inefficiency with IGMPv1.
Dense mode interfaces are always added to the table. <br /><br />Sparse mode interfaces are added to the table only when periodic join messages are received from downstream routers - or when a directly connected member is on the interface<br /> Multi
BGP not designed for load balancing (by default). <br />BGP selected the SINGLE best path to a destination and places it in the routing table; the rest are kept in the BGP Table.<br />Paths are chosen based on policy. BGP eliminates paths until one p

49. What are the commands to enable multicast routing on a router?
RFC - 3376<br />Ability to filter multicast source (can be picky)<br />IGMPv3 membership report goes to 224.0.0.22 and may include the multicast hosts it will accept or deny.<br /> Multicast
SPT (S -G) consume more memory because there is an entry for each source BUT traffic is sent over optimal path to receiver.<br />Shared distribution tree state entries (* -G) consume less CPU but may take suboptimal path to receiver.<br /> Multicast
Member of a group:<br />Router#(config) ip igmp join-group group-address<br />Statically connected:<br />Router#(config) ip igmp join-group group-address<br />In this mode router forwards (fast switches) group packets but itself does not accept group
Globally:<br />Router(config)# ip multicast-routing<br />Per Interface:<br />Router(config-if)# ip pim dense-mode<br />Enabling PIM on an interface also enables IGMP operation on that interface.<br /> Multicast


50. What effect does (S -G) and (* -G) entries have on router CPU?
ISP passes only default route to AS.<br />ISP passes default route and provider owned select routes to AS.<br />ISP passes all routes to AS.<br /> BGP
