1. In a LAN - with which router(s) does a DROTHER form an adjacency?
EIGRP uses up to 50 percent of the bandwidth (as set by the bandwidth command) for its operations.
The no-summary keyword needs to be used on the ABR only.
DROTHERs form an adjacency with the DR and BDR.
Packets that require acknowledgement are as follows: Update - Query - Reply
2. What OSPF-related command allows you to reset the refbw value used in the formula for OSPF cost calculation?
Cisco's implementation of OSPF calculates the metric using the following formula: - cost = refbw/bandwidth - The default refbw is 100 Mbps.
The no-summary keyword needs to be used on the ABR only.
To reset the value - use the following command on each router: Router(config-router)# auto-cost reference-bandwidth refbw
[AS-number]:[low-order-16-bits]
3. What is the command syntax that you should use inside a route map to configure manual manipulation of the AS-path attribute to control the choice of a return path?
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 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.
You can configure manual manipulation of the AS-path attribute with the set as-path prepend command.
Use the variance command in EIGRP to control load balancing behavior[md]potentially across unequal bandwidth links.
4. What is the purpose of the Type 2 DBD packet?
For the Broadcast Cisco mode of operation: Dynamic or manual neighbor configuration? Dynamic - DR/BDR election required? DR/BDR election
BGP communicates over TCP port 179
The Database Description (DBD) packet type checks for database synchronization between routers.
IBGP is a BGP peering relationship between routers in the same autonomous system.
5. You need to apply a route map to updates that are received from a BGP neighbor. What is the command you use to configure this?
No DR/BDR election exists in a point-to-point environment by default.
IBGP is a BGP peering relationship between routers in the same autonomous system.
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
6. You want to propagate a default route to other EIGRP speakers in the autonomous system. What command do you used to accomplish this?
For an OSPF router to advertise a default route into an area - the command default-information originate must be used. If the advertising router does not possess a default route in its routing table - you can use the always keyword to still generate
A site connected to more than one ISP at the same time. It is done for redundancy and backup if one ISP fails - and for better performance if one ISP provides a better path to frequently used networks. This also gives you an ISP-independent solution.
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.

7. What is the Feasible Distance (FD) value in EIGRP?
For the nonbroadcast (NBMA) RFC-compliant mode of operation: Dynamic or manual neighbor configuration? Manual - DR/BDR election required? DR/BDR election

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.
Lowest cost route calculated by adding the cost between the next hop router and the destination (AD) and the cost between the local router and the next hop. This sum is referred to as the FD.
8. What command do you use in OSPF to configure inter-area route summarization on the ABR?
Open - Update - Keepalive - Notification
The highest IP address of an active interface is selected; any loopback interface overrides this behavior. Therefore - if you have loopback interfaces - the highest IP address on an active loopback interface is selected.
The router responds with an update of the routing information it possesses.
Use the following command to configure inter-area route summarization on the ABR: Router(config-router)# area area-id range address mask
9. What does BGP stand for?
The default LSA aging timer is 30 minutes.

10. You need all redistributed networks to have a specified MED value. What command should you use?
Using the default-metric command in BGP configuration mode causes all redistributed networks to have the specified MED value.
Local Preference - Atomic Aggregate
Origin - Next-hop - Weight - Community - Local preference - Multi Exit Discriminator (MED)
A site with a single ISP connection.
11. Regarding the establishment of OSPF adjacencies - which state follows the Exstart State?
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.
During the OSPF adjacency process - the Exchange State follows the Exstart State.
This percentage can be changed on a per-interface basis by using the ip bandwidth-percent eigrp interface configuration command.
These route types are OSPF inter-area routes. They define networks outside of the area of the router - but within the autonomous system. Type 3 LSAs are used to advertise these route types.
