Q

How can you tell whether a peer relationship is an eBGP or iBGP peer?

A

show ip bgp peer summary’ and if the ASNs are different then it’s eBGP. If same, then iBGP.

A

The TCP connection has been completed but no BGP messages have been sent yet.

18
Q

What does the OPENSENT state mean?

A

The TCP connection exists and the router has sent the first message to establish the BGP neighbor relationship. (a BGP Open message)

19
Q

What does the OPENCONFIRM state mean?

A

The TCP connection exists and the local router has received an OPEN message from the other router. The neighbor relationship may still be rejected.

20
Q

What does the ESTABLISHED state mean?

A

The router are now neighbors/peers and can exchange update messages.

21
Q

What command administratively shuts down a neighbor?

A

neighbor 198.51.100.2 shutdown

22
Q

What command brings an adminstratively shutdown neighbor back up?

A

no neighbor 198.51.100.2 shutdown

23
Q

What command lists the BGP neighbor state?

A

show ip bgp summary’

24
Q

What does the BGP ‘network’ command do?

A

Put this prefix/ length into the BGP table, ASSUMING that prefix/ length is in the IP ROUTING TABLE.

25
Q

What is the format of the BGP ‘network’ command?

A

network mask

26
Q

How do you verify a route is in the BGP table?

A

show ip bgp’

27
Q

What does the command ‘show ip route 192.0.2.0 255.255.255.0 longer-prefixes’ do?

A

Shows all the routes in that range.

28
Q

A network engineer subnets a /24 into a /25 and a /26. ISP just wants the /24. How does the engineer get the /24 into the ip routing table?

A

Configure a static route for the /24 with an outgoing interface of null0.

29
Q

What is a route called that has an outgoing interface of null0?

A

Discard route.

30
Q

What is an Autonomous System?

A

An internetwork that is managed by a single organization.

What is the Internet Edge?

A

The connection between an ISP Customer and the ISP.

32
Q

What is the BGP Table?

A

The table in each router, maintained by the BGP process, that holds prefixes and path attributes known to BGP.
