45. What are the 4 categories of BGP attributes and what do they mean?
R1(config-router)# neighbor 192.168.1.1 next-hop-self<br /><br />Cause each routers outgoing interface that the route traverse wihtin the AS (iBPG peers) to annouce itself as the 'next hop' instead of the next hop into the neighboring AS.<br /><br />
ON<br />Displayed as metric in Cisco IOS; lower is preferred. Default is 0. Indicated to external AS the preferred path into the AS.<br />'Influence inbound traffic to an AS'<br />By default ONLY compares if neighbors AS is same for all routes being
Well-known Mandatory - Must be supported and propagated.<br />Well-known Discretionary - Must be supported; propagation optional.<br />Optional Transitive - Marked as partial if unsupported by neighbor.<br />Option Nontransitive - Deleted is unsuppor
Reverse Path Forwarding is the forwarding logic multicast of multicast. <br />It is the opposite of unicast in that is forwards AWAY from source as opposed to towards the receiver.<br /> Multicast
46. Explain the MED attribute.
47. Explain the Next-Hop attribute. How does this differ from IGP's? In what environment might this be problematic?
The unicast routing table.<br />No routing updates are sent between PIM routers.<br /> Multicast
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
BPG will find an exact match. BGP
WM<br />Next hop address is entry point into the next AS along the path to that destination network. It does a recursive lookup to the routing table which should have learned the route from its IGP.<br />in IBGP the next hop advertised by EBGP should
48. Name 4 verification commands for BGP and what they display?
Variable length sequence of path attributes<br />Attribute Type -1 byte flag field - 1 byte type code<br />Attribute Length <br />Attribute Value<br />Attribute flag field = 0000 0000<br />W | O - T | N - P | C<br /> BGP
BPG will find an exact match. BGP
Show ip bgp - Shows entire BGP topology database (BGP table)<br /><br />show ip bgp rib-failure - Displays BGP routes not installd into the routing information base (RIB) and reason they were not installed.<br /><br />show ip bgp neighbors - Displays
Source Tree - Source-based tree's are rooted at the source. Source tree created for each new group. Also called shortest path tree (SPT's). <br />Shared Tree - Single tree that is shared between all sources; single common root called the rendezvous p
49. Explain the IGMPv3 membership process and new features.
The Source and Share Tree models are the working model of how the tree is built; all multicast routing protocols fit into one or both. This is the 'theory' or model.<br />PIM-DM's operational falls in the source tree model and PIM-SM is classified an
Idle - Router looking in routing table to see if route exists to neighbor. <br /><br />[Active - When no response to Open message] <br /><br />Connect - Router found route to neighbor and has performed the TCP three-way handshake<br /><br />Open Sent
Use loopback interface to establish the neighbor. (i.e. peer to a loopback interface)<br />Tell BGP to use the lookback interface as teh source of updates<br /><br />R1(config-router)# neighbor 192.168.1.1 update-source loopback0<br /> BGP
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
50. When creating a BGP neighbor relationship to a loopback interface what must be remember in the context of routing?
It actually determines which networks are advertised. BGP
Class D address space<br />First bits are ALWAYS 1110<br />224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255<br /> Multicast
AS-Path<br />Next Hop<br />Origin BGP
Must insure loopback is reachable in the routing table. BGP
