| 1: | What is an EGP? |
| 2: | What prevents iBGP from being an effective IGP? |
| 3: | Where do routes that are learned from an eBGP peer propagate? |
| 4: | Why is it not a good idea for you to redistribute BGP routes into an IGP? |
| 5: | What protocol do all BGP packets ride on top of? |
| 6: | If a neighbor relationship between two BGP peers constantly cycles through the Idle, Active, and Connect states, what action should you take? |
| 7: | Explain the significance of the next hop in BGP. |
| 8: | What possible solutions exist for load sharing outbound traffic to multiple ISPs? |
| 9: | All attributes being the same, what breaks a tie in the BGP decision process? |
| 10: | What two things can you do to reduce the number of updates generated and sent by a router? Assume that you cannot use filtering. |
| 11: | What is the default half-life of a dampened route? |
| 12: | How does a route reflector advertise routes it learns from an iBGP peer? |
| 13: | What does a confederation of routers appear as outside the confederation area? |
| 14: | What is an example of an application of conditional advertisement? |
| 15: | Treating the network shown in Figure 4-10 in Chapter 4 as a service provider network (with the access layer connecting to external networks), configure the network to run BGP throughout. What changes would you make to the network? Would you use route reflectors or confederations anywhere? |
