This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. What technique can you use to ensure that a particular classless prefix is always advertised by a BGP-speaking router?
A site with a single ISP connection.
The neighbor command can be used to manually configure a neighbor in a NBMA OSPF environment. The full syntax of the command is: - Router(config-router)# neighbor ip-address [priority number] [poll-interval seconds] [cost number] [database-filter all
The next hop router for a backup path is called the feasible successor.
Place a static route pointing to NULL0 in the IP routing table.
2. You are considering designing an area as a stub area in OSPF. Which LSA types will still flow in this area?
Mismatched MTU - Corrupted link-state request packet
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.
Use the neighbor [ip address] next-hop-self command in BGP configuration mode.
Local Preference - Atomic Aggregate
3. What is the term for routers running BGP?
BGP speakers
The BGP process injects local routes in two different ways[md]1) using the network configuration commands and 2) using redistribution by another routing protocol.
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
The default origin code for BGP routes that you inject using redistribution is unknown.
4. What are the three BGP route reception options?
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.
Mismatched interface MTU - Duplicate router IDs on routers - Broken unicast connectivity - Network type of point-to-point between PRI and BRI/dialer
Router(config-router)# neighbor ip-address route-map name in
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.
5. What does a Type 2 LSA describe - what router produces it - and Where is it flooded?
The Network LSA (Type 2) lists all attached routers. These LSAs are produced by the DR on every multi-access network. They are flooded within the originating area.
Link flapping - Network type being broadcast - PPP host route being redistributed - One router being not demand-circuit capable
Misconfigured neighbor statement - Unicast non-functional in NBMA environment
IP network numbers and subnet masks (prefix-list or access-list) - Route originator - Next hop - Origin code - Tag value attached to an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) route - AS-path - Community - IGP route type
6. What is the Advertised Distance (AD) in EIGRP?
For the Broadcast Cisco mode of operation: Dynamic or manual neighbor configuration? Dynamic - DR/BDR election required? DR/BDR election
The AD is the cost between that next hop router and the destination.
You can configure manual manipulation of the AS-path attribute with the set as-path prepend command.
Use the following command to configure inter-area route summarization on the ABR: Router(config-router)# area area-id range address mask
7. Describe a single-homed network.
A site with a single ISP connection.

8. The four types of BGP messages.
Open - Update - Keepalive - Notification

A list of networks known by BGP - along with their paths and attributes. To view it - use the show ip bgp command.
9. You are examining the results of the show ip route command - and you notice several OSPF routes bear an O E2 route designator. What does this signify?
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.
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.
To display routes matching the AS-path regular expression - use the show ip bgp regexp command.
The Type 7 LSA is translated into a Type 5 LSA by the ABR.
10. Notification
Use the variance command in EIGRP to control load balancing behavior[md]potentially across unequal bandwidth links.
During the OSPF adjacency process - the Exchange State follows the Exstart State.
When a problem occurs that causes a router to end the BGP peering session - a notificationmessage is sent to the BGP neighbor and the connection is closed.
The next step in the update process features the DR acknowledging the LSU and flooding it to all OSPF speakers using multicast 224.0.0.5.
11. You are considering the usage of manual route summarization in your EIGRP network. How is the metric calculated for the summary route.
EIGRP stub routing is a feature that allows you to specify the routes that are propagated from the spoke.
