Q

Describe OSPF Loading process

A

Each router examines the DBDs from ExStart. For any entry the router doesn’t know about it sends a link-state request (LSR) and a link-state update (LSU) is returned.

Note LSU is a collection of LSAs. LSACK acknowledges these updates.

84
Q

What is route poisoning

A

When a network goes down a DV protocol will send a triggered update which is a network with an infinite metric.

85
Q

What is poison reverse?

A

When a poisoned route is learned a poisoned route is sent back to the same router with the same infinite metric.

86
Q

What is split horizon?

A

A router never advertises a route through the interface it learns it from. (unless it is reverse poisoning a route.)

87
Q

What is the command to view the EIGRP neighbor table and what information is contained in it?

A

show ip eigrp neighbors

Lists all directly connected neighbors

  • H (Handle) - first neighbor gets 0 - next one 1 - gaps get filled
  • Next Hop IP
  • Interface
  • Hold Time
  • Uptime
  • SRTT (Smooth round trip time)
  • RTO (retransmission timeout)
  • Q Count
  • Seq Number
88
Q

What is the command to view the EIGRP topology table and what information is contained in it.

A
  • Successors and Feasible Successors
  • Metric (FD)
  • Route State (Passive, Active, Update, Query, Reply)
89
Q

In EIGRP what are the requirements for a route to be a feasible successor

A

1) It must not be a successor
2) The advertised distance must be less than the feasible distance of the successor
3)

Nice plain english: A router can become a backup path if he is closer to the destination than your best path.

90
Q

What command is used for unequal cost load balancing in EIGRP links. What type of routes can be used for load balancing?

A

variance n where n is the multiplier
Feasible successors can be used.

Example with variance 3 and FD of 100 on the successor a feasible successor with a FD of 300 will join the pool and will take 1/4 the traffic.

91
Q

What protocol does EIGRP use for reliable messages?

A

RTP (Reliable Transport Protocol)

92
Q

List EIGRP packet types and whether or not they need acks

A 
Hello - Unreliable
Update - Reliable
Query - Reliable
Reply - Reliable
Ack - ack doesn't get acked

Update packets send new routing information. Reply packets send routing information in response to query packets.

93
Q

Describe EIGRP Adjancency process

A

1) R1 sends hello
2) R2 sends Update
3) R2 sends hello (on its own timer - not in response to update)
4) R1 sends ack for update packet
5) R1 sends update
6) R2 sends ack back

94
Q

How could you run EIGRP over a network that does not support multicast?

A

router mode:

neighbor x.x.x.x interface

95
Q

List EIGRP K values

A 
Bandwidth (K1)
Load (K2)
Delay (K3)
Reliability (K4)
MTU (K5)
96
Q

What is the EIGRP metric formula for default K values K1 and K3

A

(10^7 / minimum bandwdith + (sum of delays)) * 256

97
Q

Command to set EIGRP to use delay only in metric calculation

A

router mode:
metric weights 0 0 0 1 0 0

(First 0 is TOS which must be 0 - then K1, K2, etc.)

98
Q

Command to summarize subnets within 172.16.0.0/23

A

interface mode:

ip summary-address eigrp as 172.16.0.0 255.255.254.0

99
Q

What is a dis-contiguous network?

A

When a classful network has another classful network on a segment between 2 or more of its subnets.

So, for example, might be equal cost routing to 1.0.0.0/8 going to seperate ways to two seperate subnets - if auto-summary is in place.

100
Q

For unequal cost load balancing what command shows the traffic share count?

A

show ip route x.x.x.x

101
Q

What does SIA Query do?

A

SIA Query is sent half way through the SIA timer - to give the neighbor router a chance to return a SIA reply which keeps EIGRP from dropping the neighbor adjacency and losing the other routes.

102
Q

List items that cause problems with EIGRP adjacencies

A 
Uncommon subnet
K value mismatch
AS mismatch
Layer 2 issues
Access-list issues
NBMA (not sending broadcasts)
103
Q

What is the EIGRP multicast address?

A

BGP is the only example - it records the AS path

105
Q

Describe the ways BGP can be homed

A

Single homed: you are connected to a single ISP using a single link.
Dual homed: you are connected to a single ISP using dual links.
Single multi-homed: you are connected to two ISPs using single links.
Dual multi-homed: you are connected to two ISPs using dual links.

106
Q

command to add password to bgp neighbor

A

neighbor x.x.x.x password MYPASS

107
Q

What is BGP synchronization

A

This is for transit networks. BGP won’t advertise a network learned from another AS unless it sees the network in the IGP as well. This way traffic doesn’t transit your AS until the IGP is up to date. For a stub AS one can disable synchronization with no synchronization command in router mode.

108
Q

Configure iBGP peers to loopbacks

A

router bgp 2
neighbor 2.2.2.2 remote-as 2
neighbor 2.2.2.2 update-source loopback 0
neighbor 2.2.2.2 next-hop-self

109
Q

When is next-hop-self configuration is needed in BGP

A

For iBGP peers - so that they advertise their own next hop instead of the IP of the EBGP peer that advertised the router.

110
Q

What is BGP split horizon?

A

iBGP does not advertise prefixes learned from another iBGP peer

111
Q

What methods make multi-hop iBGP networks work without BGP split horizon breaking it?

A

BGP Route Reflectors

BGP Confederations

112
Q

What does * and > mean in ‘show ip bgp’

A 
* = valid router and BGP can use it
> = the entry has been selected as the best path
113
Q

What does a next hop of 0.0.0.0 mean in BGP?

A

It means the network originates on the local router.

114
Q

What are the 2 BGP origin codes in use

A

i - originated using the ‘network’ command or equivalent.

? - Redistributed into BGP

115
Q

List other BGP status codes beyond valid(*) and best (>)

A

s - supressed: BGP knows the network but won’t advertise it, this can occur when the network is part of a summary.
d - damped: BGP doesn’t advertise this network because it was flapping too often (network appears, disapears, appears, etc.) so it got a penalty.
h- history: BGP learned this network but doesn’t have a valid route at the moment.
r - RIB-failure: BGP learned this network but didn’t install it in the routing table. This occurs when another routing protocol with a lower administrative distance also learned it.
S - stale: this is used for non-stop forwarding, this entry has to be refreshed when the remote BGP neighbor has returned.

116
Q

Which BGP states can lead to active state and why?

A

Connect and OpenSent - Connect because 3-way handshake fails and OpenSent because something is wrong with the open message (ie wrong AS number)

117
Q

If BGP hold timers don’t match what happens?

A

The lower timer is used

118
Q

List the BGP states in order (excluding active)

A 
Idle
Connect
OpenSent
OpenConfirm
Established
119
Q

Describe the BGP OpenConfirm state

A

BGP waits for a keepalive message from the remote BGP neighbor. When we receive the keepalive, we can move to the established state and the neighbor adjacency will be completed. When this occurs, it will reset the hold timer. If we receive a notification message from the remote BGP neighbor then we fall back to the Idle state. BGP will keep sending keepalive messages.

120
Q

Describe the BGP established state

A

The BGP neighbor adjacency is complete and the BGP routers will send update packets to exchange routing information. Every time we receive a keepalive or update message, the hold timer will be resetted. In case we receive a notification message we will jump back to the Idle state.

121
Q

Describe the BGP Idle state

A

This is the first state where BGP waits for a “start event”. The start event occurs when someone configures a new BGP neighbor or when we reset an established BGP peering. After the start event, BGP will initialize some resources, resets a ConnectRetry timer and initiates a TCP connection to the remote BGP neighbor. It will also start listening for a connection in case the remote BGP neighbor tries to establish a connection. When successful, BGP moves to the Connect state. When it fails, it will remain in the Idle state.

122
Q

Describe the BGP Connect state

A

BGP is waiting for the TCP three-way handshake to complete. When it is successful, it will continue to the OpenSent state. In case it fails, we continue to the Active state. If the ConnectRetry timer expires then we will remain in this state. The ConnectRetry timer will be reset and BGP will try a new TCP three-way handshake. If anything else happens (for example resetting BGP) then we move back to the Idle state.

123
Q

Describe the BGP Active state

A

BGP will try another TCP three-way handshake to establish a connection with the remote BGP neighbor. If it is successful, it will move to the OpenSent state. If the ConnectRetry timer expires then we move back to the Connect state. BGP will also keep listening for incoming connections in case the remote BGP neighbor tries to establish a connection. Other events can cause the router to go back to the Idle state (resetting BGP for example).

124
Q

Describe the BGP OpenSent state

A

In this state BGP will be waiting for an Open message from the remote BGP neighbor. The Open message will be checked for errors, if something is wrong (incorrect version numbers, wrong AS number, etc.) then BGP will respond with a Notification message and jumps back to the Idle state. This is also the moment where BGP decides whether we use EBGP or IBGP (since we check the AS number). If everything is OK then BGP starts sending keepalive messages and resets its keepalive timer. At this moment, the hold time is negotiated (lowest value is picked) between the two BGP routers. In case the TCP session fails, BGP will jump back to the Active state. When any other errors occur (expiration of hold timer), BGP will send a notification message with the error code and jumps back to the Idle state. In case someone resets the BGP process, we also jump back to the Idle state.

125
Q

What four messages does BGP use?

Q

What is recursive routing when it comes to tunnels?

A

When the destination IP for the tunnel interface is learned through the tunnel itself.

139
Q

What can one do to prevent recursive routing through a tunnel?

A

Don’t advertise the destination IP on the tunnel interface - or use route filtering
Make sure the AD of the destination IP through the tunnel is higher than
Instead of AD make sure the metric is worse.

140
Q

What does DMVPN use to know the public IP of multipoint tunnel neighbors?

A

NHRP - Next Hop Resolution Protocol

141
Q

Describe NHRP

A

One router will be the NHRP server.
All other routers will be NHRP clients.
NHRP clients register themselves with the NHRP server and report their public IP address.
The NHRP server keeps track of all public IP addresses in its cache.
When one router wants to tunnel something to another router, it will request the NHRP server for the public IP address of the other router.

142
Q

Summarize the three DMVPN phases

A

Note - phases are configuration options - the DMVPN solution does not progress through them.

Phase 1 - Spokes register with the hub. All traffic flows through the hub on point-to-point gre tunnels. Hub has multipoint GRE interface.

Phase 2 - All spoke routers run multipoint GRE so direct spoke-to-spoke tunneling is possible. When a spoke wants to reach another spoke it uses NHRP to find the tunnel IP. It must have the route and next-hop IP of the spoke tunnel ip to work.

Phase 3 - Specific routes are not needed by spokes for spoke-to-spoke connectivity. Routing will be set up as phase 1 but when a packet bound for another spoke reaches the hub it will send a NHRP redirect to both spokes. Both spokes resolve the public IP with NHRP and install a new routing entry so they can reach each other locally.

143

166
Q

In policing if the number of bytes in a packet exceed the number of tokens in the bucket what does the router do with the tokens? What does it do with the packet?

A

The tokens are left in the bucket and the action on the packet is set by the policer. ie single-rate 2 color it is marked as exceeded and dropped.

167
Q

Describe dual rate 3 color policing

A

When the number of bytes in the packet are less or equal than the number of tokens in the Bc bucket the packet is conforming. The policer takes the required tokens from the Bc bucket and performs the action. The policer also takes the same amount of tokens from the PIR bucket!
If the packet does not conform and the number of bytes of the packet is less than or equal to the number of tokens in the PIR bucket, the packet is exceeding.The policer will remove the required tokens from the PIR bucket and takes the configured action for exceeding packets.
When the packet is not conforming or exceeding, it is violating. The policer doesn’t take any tokens and performs the action for violating packets.

168
Q

What are the two rates in dual rate policing
