You can use the show ip ospf command to verify the router ID of an OSPF-speaking router.
Router(config-router)# area area-id default-cost cost
The Network Summary (Type 3) LSA is sent into an area to advertise destinations outside the area. These LSAs are originated by Area Border Routers (ABRs). They flood throughout the autonomous system.

Router(config-router)# neighbor ip-address shutdown
Aggregator - Community
7. What is the command that you use to configure an area as Totally Stubby?
Misconfigured neighbor statement - Unicast non-functional in NBMA environment
The router passes the community information on unchanged.
You use the following command to configure an area as Totally Stubby: Router(config-router)# area area-id stub no-summary
Origin - Next-hop - Weight - Community - Local preference - Multi Exit Discriminator (MED)
8. You are considering manipulating the K values on an EIGRP router. Which routers in the EIGRP domain must have this configuration made?
BGP is a path-vector protocol
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.
You must manipulate the K values on all routers if you plan to manipulate them on one.
The next hop router for a backup path is called the feasible successor.
9. What is the command to change the cost of the default route used within a Totally Stubby area?

Cisco routers prefer a higher weight value.
The Type 7 LSA is translated into a Type 5 LSA by the ABR.
Once using the command - you use the clear ip ospf process to reset the OSPF process and change the router ID.
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.
11. When a BGP router receives an update from an EBGP neighbor - it must pass that update to its IBGP neighbors without changing the next-hop attribute. Therefore - IBGP routers must have a route to the network connecting their autonomous system to that

13. Name three Mandatory Well-Known BGP attributes.
Origin - AS-Path - Next-Hop
IBGP is a BGP peering relationship between routers in the same autonomous system.
A virtual link is a link to the backbone through a non-backbone area. Virtual links are created between two ABRs - and the area cannot be stub.
The BGP standards define several filtering-oriented communities for your use: no-export - Do not advertise routes to real External BGP (EBGP) peers - no-advertise - Do not advertise routes to any peer - local-as - Do not advertise routes to any EBGP
14. The four types of BGP messages.
An ABR might not advertise a summary route for the following reasons:
String matching ranges and wildcards - brackets '[]' can be used for ranges - and the '.' can match any single character.
Open - Update - Keepalive - Notification
Type 7 LSAs are special external routes that you permit in a Not-So-Stubby area.
15. What are the packets in an EIGRP environment that require an acknowledgement?
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.
During the OSPF adjacency process - the Exchange State follows the Exstart State.
[AS-number]:[low-order-16-bits]
Packets that require acknowledgement are as follows: Update - Query - Reply

Local Preference - Atomic Aggregate
DROTHERs form an adjacency with the DR and BDR.
19. You are interested in monitoring the use of your regular expressions for manipulating the BGP routing process. What command can you use to display routes matching the AS-path regular expression?

The AD is the cost between that next hop router and the destination.
20. 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 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.

These are Type-2 external routes. Again - they define networks outside of the autonomous system and are advertised by Type 5 LSAs. In this case cost is always the external cost only. This is the default OSPF external route type on Cisco routers.
The router passes the community information on unchanged.
22. You are concerned that a flapping route is ruining the stability of your BGP network. What command allows the router to remove the update until it is proven to be more stable?
Route dampening can make the network more stable. To enable route dampening - use the bgp dampening command.

Cisco routers prefer a higher weight value.
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.
