What does the ‘bandwidth’ interface command do to EIGRP
You can set the bandwidth value of an interface using the BANDWIDTH command.
If you have the two routers in the same area, can you use the distribute-list out command to filter resources between them
No to filter the routes use the command distribute-list in command not the distribute-list out. To filter networks received in updates, use the distribute-list in command in address family or router configuration mode. To change or cancel the filter, use the no form of this command. distribute-list [access-list-number | name] | [route-map map-tag] in [interface-type [...]
What is the difference between type 1 & type 2 external routes which is preferred
External routes fall under two categories, external type 1 and external type 2. The difference between the two is in the way the cost (metric) of the route is being calculated. The cost of a type 2 route is always the external cost, irrespective of the interior cost to reach that route. A type 1 [...]
What is difference between DR,BDR,ABR & an ASBR
The DR serves as a common point for all adjacencies on a multiaccess segment The BDR also maintains adjacencies with all routers in case the DR fails Area Border Router (ABR) Connects two or more areas AS Boundary Router (ASBR) Connects to additional routing domains; typically located in the backbone
What protocol does OSPF uses to send link updates
OSPF relies on several types of Link State Advertisements (LSAs) to communicate link state information between neighbors.
What are different types of stub areas in OSPF
OSPF relies on several types of Link State Advertisements (LSAs) to communicate link state information between neighbors. A brief review of the most applicable LSA types: Type 1 – Represents a router Type 2 – Represents the pseudonode (designated router) for a multiaccess link Type 3 – A network link summary (internal route) Type 4 – Represents an ASBR Type 5 – [...]
How are routing neighbours discovered in BGP
A BGP-speaking router does not discover another BGP-speaking device automatically. A network administrator usually manually configures the relationships between BGP-speaking routers. A BGP neighbor device is a BGP-speaking router that has an active TCP connection to another BGP-speaking device. This relationship between BGP devices is often referred to as a peer instead of neighbor because [...]
What is the concept of NLRI
BGP was designed to carry only unicast IPv4 routing information. BGP configuration used the Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) format CLI in Cisco IOS software. The NLRI format offers only limited support for multicast routing information and does not support multiple network layer protocols.
What are BGP path attribute
-Prefer the path with the highest WEIGHT. Note: WEIGHT is a Cisco-specific parameter. It is local to the router on which it is configured. -Prefer the path with the highest LOCAL_PREF. Note: A path without LOCAL_PREF is considered to have had the value set with the bgp default local-preferencecommand, or to have a value of [...]
Can you explain the concept of BGP confederations
A fully meshed iBGP network becomes complex as the number of iBGP peers grows. You can reduce the iBGP mesh by dividing the autonomous system into multiple subautonomous systems and grouping them into a single confederation. A confederation is a group of iBGP peers that use the same autonomous system number to communicate to external [...]
Can you explain autonomous system in BGP
There are two main types of AS: Stub AS: This is an AS that is connected to only one other AS. It is comparable to a cul-de-sac (dead-end street) in our road analogy; usually, only vehicles coming from or going to houses on the street will be found on that street. Multihomed AS: This is [...]
Can you explain different OSPF packet types
Hello-Used to discover and maintain neighbours. Database Description-Used to form adjacencies. The router summarises all its linkstate advertisements and passes this information, via database description packets to the router it is forming an adjacency with Link State Request After the database description packets have been exchanged with a neighbour, the router may detect link state advertisements it requires to update [...]
Can you explain the different router types in OSPF
Internal Router – all interfaces in single area Backbone Router – at least 1 interface in area 0 Area Border Router – has interfaces in multiple areas Autonomous System Border Router – act as gateways between OSPF and other routing protocols
Can you explain different areas in the OSPF
OSPF allows the grouping of networks into a set, called an area. The topology of an area is hidden from the rest of the Autonomous System. This technique minimizes the routing traffic required for the protocol. When multiple areas are used, each area has its own copy of the topological database.
What are different tables in OSPF
OSPF Tables: In link state routing protocol there are different tables for storing different types of information regarding router and its networks. There are three tables in OSPF same like in EIGRP. 1. OSPF Neighbor table 2. OSPF Topology table 3. OSPF Routing table
Can you explain the concept of successor & feasible successor
The term successor can be defined as “one thing that succeeds another.” In IP routing, this simply refers to the next-hop of the best route. A feasible successor, therefore, is not our current best route, but one which could be used in the event our successor route disappears.
What is the concept of sucessor in EIGRP
Successor is the neighbouring router with the best cost path too a destination network, will be marked as the successor for that network and will be used as the next hop to forward traffic to it.
How does EIGRP protocol update route information to it’s neighbours
A router discovers a neighbor when it receives its first hello packet on a directly connected network. The router requests DUAL to send a full route update to the new neighbor. In response, the neighbor sends its full route update. Thus, a new neighbor relationship is established in the following steps: When a router A [...]
What are different types of packets in EIGRP
There are 5 types of packets in EIGRP -Hello -Update -Query -Reply -ACK (Acknowledgement) Hello packets are used for neighbor discovery. As soon as you send hello packets and receive them your EIGRP routers will try to form the neighbor adjacency. Update packets have routing information and are sent reliable to whatever router that requires [...]
What does neighbour terminology mean in EIGRP
Neighbour, a neighbour is a router that can be reached through a network segment that is running the same EIGRP AS and is directly sharing routing information with the local router.
Which processes does TCP, but not UDP, use?
A. Windowing B. Acknowledgements C. Source Port D. Destination Port Answer: A & B UDP (User Datagram Protocol) does not use sequence or acknowledgement fields in transmission. UDP is a connectionless and unreliable protocol, since there is no delivery checking mechanism in the UDP data format.
