1. What are the actions used by an Outbound Route Filter (ORF) type of Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI)-based filtering (type 1)?
Cisco's implementation of OSPF calculates the metric using the following formula: - cost = refbw/bandwidth - The default refbw is 100 Mbps.
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.
ADD - Adds a line to a prefix-list filter on the remote peer - DELETE - Removes a line from a filter that was previously installed on a remote peer - DELETE ALL - Removes all previously installed filters on the remote peer
BGP is a path-vector protocol
2. Name at least one reason that an OSPF neighbor can be stuck in the ATTEMPT state.
These routes are Type-1 external routes. They define networks outside of the autonomous system and are advertised by Type 5 LSAs. The cost is calculated by adding the external cost to the internal cost of each link that the packet crosses. The use of

5. How can you change the amount of bandwidth that EIGRP consumes on an interface?
Cisco's implementation of OSPF calculates the metric using the following formula: - cost = refbw/bandwidth - The default refbw is 100 Mbps.
Router(config-router)# neighbor ip-address route-map name in
OSPF uses IP protocol number 89.
This percentage can be changed on a per-interface basis by using the ip bandwidth-percent eigrp interface configuration command.

7. Describe a transit AS.
ADD - Adds a line to a prefix-list filter on the remote peer - DELETE - Removes a line from a filter that was previously installed on a remote peer - DELETE ALL - Removes all previously installed filters on the remote peer
Hellos are sent every 5 seconds on broadcast links - as well as p2p serial - p2p subinterface - and multipoint circuits greater than T1.
The correct command is show ip bgp.
A transit AS is an AS through which traffic to another AS travels - such as with an ISP.
8. Name at least one reason why an OSPF neighbor might be stuck in the LOADING state.
Router# clear ip bgp ip-address in
Mismatched MTU - Corrupted link-state request packet
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.
This network is currently unavailable and installation cannot occur in the routing table. The router is currently searching for a replacement route.
9. You have a serial point-to-point connection in your OSPF-enabled WAN environment. Is there a DR/BDR election process in this environment by default?
EIGRP uses IP protocol number 88.
No DR/BDR election exists in a point-to-point environment by default.
BGP peers exchange keepalive messages every 60 seconds by default. These keep the peering session active.
The next route selection criteria is for the router to prefer the highest weight (local to router).
10. Once adjacencies are established in the LAN and router information is being maintained - what step follows a router noticing a change and multicasting an LSU to 224.0.0.6?
BGP peers
BGP's loop prevention mechanism is an autonomous system number. When an update about a network leaves an autonomous system - that autonomous system's number is prepended to the list of autonomous systems that have handled that update. When an autonom
Mismatched interface MTU - Duplicate router IDs on routers - Broken unicast connectivity - Network type of point-to-point between PRI and BRI/dialer
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.
