OSPF/EIGRP Tune & TSHOOT Flashcards
A dynamic routing protocol is enabled on an interface. What two actions will the routing protocol immediately try to perform?
Attempt to find suitable neighbor on connected subnet, attempt to advertise the subnet connected to that interface
Describe a router’s behavior when passive-interface is configured on an interface
Router will not attempt to find neighbors off that interface (stop sending/processing hellos), but will continue to advertise that interface’s subnet.
What command will list interfaces on which EIGRP is enabled? Will the output of that command list or identify passive interfaces?
show ip eigrp interfaces — no
What command will list interfaces on which OSPFv2 is enabled? Will the output of that command list or identify passive interfaces?
show ip ospf interface brief – passive interfaces are listed, but not explicitly identified as passive
What command implicitly reveals configuration of a dynamic routing protocols, including passive interfaces
show ip protocols
From an L1,L2,L3 perspective, what must be true for EIGRP or OSPf to successfully form neighbor relationships?
Interfaces must be up/up, must be on same subnet, ACLs must not be filtering RP messages
What are the neighborship requirements for EIGRP?
Must be on same subnet
Must use same ASN
Must use same k-values
Must pass authentication, if configured
Two EIGRP routers are expected to form a neighbor relationship. You suspect they might not be on the same subnet. What commands should be used to verify this?
show interfaces, show ip interfaces
Two EIGRP routers are expected to form a neighbor relationship. You suspect they might not be configured for the same ASN. What commands should be used to verify this?
show ip eigrp interfaces, show ip protocols
Two EIGRP routers are expected to form a neighbor relationship. You suspect they might not be using the same K-values. What commands should be used to verify this?
show ip protocols
Two EIGRP routers are expected to form a neighbor relationship. You suspect that authentication issues may be present. What commands should be used to verify this?
debug eigrp packets
What re the neighborship requirements for OSPF?
Must be on same subnet Must pass authentication, if configured RIDs must be unique Must be in same area Hello-interval and dead-interval must match
Two OSPF routers are expected to form a neighbor relationship. You suspect they may not be in the same subnet. What commands should be used to verify this?
show interfaces, debug ip ospf hello
Two OSPF routers are expected to form a neighbor relationship. You suspect their RIDs might not be unique. What commands should be used to verify this?
show ip ospf interface, debug ip ospf adj
Two OSPF routers are expected to form a neighbor relationship. You suspect they may not be in the same area. What commands should be used to verify this?
show ip ospf interface brief, debug ip ospf adj
Two OSPF routers are expected to form a neighbor relationship. You suspect a hold-interval or dead-interval mismatch. What commands should be used to verify this?
show ip ospf interface, debug ip ospf hello
Two OSPF routers. have different process IDs. Can they become neighbors?
Yes. Process IDs do not have to match for OSPF
Two EIGRP routers have different hello-intervals or hold-times. Can they become neighbors?
Yes. Timers do not have to match for EIGRP
OSPF is configured on a router as follows:
network 1.0.0.0 0.0.0.255 area 1
network 1.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
Which network will OSPF advertise?
OSPF will advertise network 1.0.0.0/24 as area 1. OSPF uses the first network statement that can be matched.
OSPF is configured on a router with a network statement matching an interface in area 0. That same interface includes a configuration statement:
ip ospf 1 area 2
Which configuration will end up being used?
The interface configuration takes precedence
An EIGRP or OSPF router shows evidence of full and correct configuration, but is not forming neighbor relationships. What might this indicate?
Indicates the routing process may have been configured with the shutdown command
Two OSPF routers are not forming the expected neighbor relationship. Inspection reveals that one interface has the following configuration:
ip mtu 1492
The other router’s interface on that subnet has no similar configuration. Explain how to determine what that interface’s MTU might be, and why this causes a neighborship problem
show ip interfaces int-id
If MTU mismatch, both routers will attempt to form a neighbor relationship, but will fail to exchange LSDBs. Eventually, the neighbor relationship fails.
IF EIGRP is configured with auto-summart, where does EIGRP perform the summarization?
at classful boundaries
What command is used to determine whether EIGRP is performing auto-summarization?
show ip protocols
If EIGRP is performing auto-summarization, one what interfaces will summarized updates be sent
Only via interfaces on different major classful networks
R1 is using EIGRP to advertise a summary route of 172.16.0.0/16, but is actually only connected to 172.16.1.0/24, 172.16.2.0/24, and 172.16.4.0/24. How would EIGRP respond to incoming packets for 172.16.3.0/24?
EIGRP would create a summary route to null0 for 172.16.0.0/16. Packets to 172.16.3.0/24 would be routed to null0 (and thus dropped).
Under what conditions does EIGRP include a null0 summary route?
Auto-summary is enabled
At least one subnet was learned by EIGRP
At least 2 network EIGRP commands are configured
What is the purpose of a null0 summary route
loop prevention
Under EIGRP, what command is used to propagate a default route?
redistribute static router subcommand
What is the administrative distance of an external EIGRP route, such as a propagated default route?
170
By default, what percentage of an interface’s bandwidth will EIGRP attempt to use for for EIGRP information?
50 percent
On an interface with low bandwidth, you suspect that EIGRP overhead is interfering with throughput. What command should be used to throttle EIGRP traffic on that interface so that only 30 percent of the interface’s bandwidth is used? Assume the AS number for the eigrp process is 209
ip bandwidth-percent eigrp 209 30
How often will EIGRP Hello messages be sent by default on links low-speed NBMA networks?
every 60 seconds
By default, how long will an EIGRP router wait to receive hello messages before declaring it’s neighbor router dead on low-speed NBMA networks
180 seconds (3x hello-interval)
How often will EIGRP Hello messages be sent by default on links with bandwidth > 1.544 Mbps?
Every 5 seconds
