External BGP is a BGP peering relationship between routers in different autonomous systems.
The Private autonomous system number range is 64512[nd]65535.
Route tagging with communities is always done with a route map. You can specify any number of communities. Communities specified in the set keyword overwrite existing communities unless you specify the additive option.
3. What is the correct syntax to find community attributes in routing updates?
EIGRP uses up to 50 percent of the bandwidth (as set by the bandwidth command) for its operations.
Router(config)# ip community-list 1-99 permit|deny value [ value ... ]

An OSPF stub area is an area into which External LSAs are not flooded (Type 4 and 5 LSAs are blocked.) Type 1 - 2 - and 3 LSAs are still used in a stub area.
4. Given the fact that the BGP route selection process begins by excluding any route with an inaccessible next hop - What is the next route selection criteria that is used?
BGP communicates over TCP port 179
EIGRP uses the multicast IP address of 224.0.0.10 for Hellos and routing updates.

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.
The ASBR Summary (Type 4) LSA advertises an Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) destination. This LSA is originated at an ABR. This LSA type is flooded throughout an autonomous system.
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.
In EIGRP - a reliability of value 1 indicates a completely unreliable link.

Use the Router(config-if)# ip ospf cost value command to override the cost value that is calculated for a particular interface.
EIGRP uses IP protocol number 88.
Router(config-router)# neighbor ip-address route-reflector-client
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.
10. How do you ensure the router ID is changed on a device following the use of the router-id command?

An ABR might not advertise a summary route for the following reasons:
A site that has two connections to the same ISP - either from one router or two routers. One might be primary and the other backup - or the site might load balance over both links. Either static or dynamic routing would work in this case.
