BGP Questions
Question 1
Refer to the exhibit. Router RIP is attempting to establish BGP neighbor relationships with routers RT1 and RT3. On the basis of the information that is presented in the exhibit, which two statements are true? (Choose two)


A – RTR has a BGP password set but neighbor 10.0.0.1 does not
B – RTR has a BGP password set but neighbor 10.0.0.5 does not
C – RTR has a BGP password set but neighbor 10.0.0.1 has an incorrect password set
D – RTR has a BGP password set but neighbor 10.0.0.5 has an incorrect password set
E – Neighbor 10.0.0.1 has a BGP password set but RTR does not
F – Neighbor 10.0.0.5 has a BGP password set but RTR does not
Answer: A D
Explanation:
You can configure MD5 authentication between two BGP peers, MD5 authentication must be configured with the same password on both BGP peers; otherwise, the connection between them will not be made. If a router has a password configured for a peer, but the other peer does not, a message “No MD5 digest from…” will appear on the console while the routers attempt to establish a Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) session between them. Therefore A is correct because RT1 (with an ip address of 10.0.0.1) is not configured with a password.
Similarly, if the two routers have different passwords configured, a message “Invalid MD5 digest from…” will appear on the screen.
Question 2
Refer to the exhibit diagram and configuration. RTB is summarizing its networks from AS 64100 with the aggregate-address command. However, the show ip route command on RTA reveals the RTB individual networks as well as its summary route. Which option would ensure that only the summary route would appear in the routing table of RTA?

A – Delete the four network statements and leave only the aggregate-address statement in the BGP configuration
B – Add the keyword summary-only to the aggregate-address command
C – Add a static route with a prefix of 192.168.24.0 255.255.252.0 pointing to the null interface
D – Create a route map permitting only the summary address
Answer: B
Explanation
When the aggregate-address command is used within BGP routing, the aggregated address is advertised, along with the more specific routes. The exception to this rule is through the use of the summary-only command. The “summary-only” keyword suppresses the more specific routes and announces only the summarized route.
Question 3
Refer to the exhibit The neighbor 10.1.1.1 weight 200 BGP configuration command has been configured on router A. What will be the result of this configuration?

A – Router A will prefer the path through router B for network 172.20.0.0
B – Router A will prefer the path through router C for network 172.20.0.0
C – Packets from router D will prefer the path through router B for networks advertised by router A
D – Packets from router D will prefer the path through router C for networks advertised by router A
Answer: A
Explanation
The weight attribute is a special Cisco attribute that is used in the path selection process when there is more than one route to the same destination. The higher the weight value, the bettwe the path. The default weight is 0. Therefore, by configuring weight 200 to the neighbor 10.1.1.1, router A will prefer the path through router B for network 172.20.0.0 then the path through router C.
The weight attribute is local to the router and not propagated to other routers. In this case the weight is local to router A so it has no effect on the decision of transferring packets from router D.
Question 4
Based on the show ip bgp summary output. which two statements are true? (Choose two)

A – The BGP session to the 10.1.1.1 neighbor is established
B – The BGP session to the 10.2.2.2 neighbor is established
C – The BGP session to the 10.3.3.3 neighbor is established
D – The router is attempting to establish a BGP peering session with the 10.1.1.1 neighbor
E – The BGP session to the 10.3.3.3 neighbor is established, but the router has not received any BGP routing updates from the 10.3.3.3 neighbor
F – The router is attempting to establish a BGP peering session with the 10.2.2.2 neighbor
Answer: A F
Explanation
The main point of this question is the “State/PfxRcd” column, which shows the BGP states. Below is the list of BGP states in order, from startup to peering:
1 – Idle: the initial state of a BGP connection. In this state, the BGP speaker is waiting for a BGP start event, generally either the establishment of a TCP connection or the re-establishment of a previous connection. Once the connection is established, BGP moves to the next state.
2 – Connect: In this state, BGP is waiting for the TCP connection to be formed. If the TCP connection completes, BGP will move to the OpenSent stage; if the connection can not complete, BGP goes to Active
3 – Active: In the Active state, the BGP speaker is attempting to initiate a TCP session with the BGP speaker it wants to peer with. If this can be done, the BGP state goes to OpenSent state.
4 – OpenSent: the BGP speaker is waiting to receive an OPEN message from the remote BGP speaker
5 – OpenConfirm: Once the BGP speaker receives the OPEN message and no error is detected, the BGP speaker sends a KEEPALIVE message to the remote BGP speaker
6 – Established: All of the neighbor negotiations are complete. You will see a number (2 in this case), which tells us the number of prefixes the router has received from a neighbor or peer group.
Question 5
Which command displays the IBGP and EBGP neighbors that are configured?
A – show ip bgp
B – show ip bgp paths
C – show ip bgp peers
D – show ip bgp summary
Answer: D
Explanation
The picture below shows the output of the show ip bgp summary

Notice that the “show ip bgp” command to display BGP topology database. Below is the output of the “show ip bgp” command:

Question 6
BGP contains two paths to a destination. Assuming both routes were originated locally and have an equal weight. what will be the next determining factor in choosing the best path?
A – lowest MED
B – highest local preference
C – lowest neighbor IP address
D – lowest origin code
E – shortest AS-path
Answer: B
Explanation
Memorizing the BGP decision process steps is very useful and you should remember them. The table below lists the complete path selection process:
1. Weight (Bigger is better)
2. Local preference (Bigger is better)
3. Self originated (Locally injected is better than iBGP/eBGP learned)
4. AS-Path (Smaller is better)
5. Origin (Prefer ORIGIN code I over E, and E over ?)
6. MED (Smaller is better)
7. External (Prefer eBGP over iBGP)
8. IGP cost (Smaller is better)
9. EBGP Peering (Older is better)
10. RID (Lower is better)
Focus on Question3 I dont think the answer is A I prefer to D rather than A Because The LOCAL_PREF attribute affects only traffic leaving the AS. To influence incoming traffic, the MULTI_EXIT_DISC attribute, known as the MED for short If you disagree please leave a comment
BestRegards
Meanwhile Unlike LOCAL_PREF, in which the largest value is preferred, the lowest MED value is preferred.
OH I am very sorry that i am confused with weight and MED
Yeah the answer is the A that is right
Please delete the comments before it…….
BR
thanks for sharing
Note for Question 4 the correct answers is A & E. Answers A & F is wrong, If you see “State/PfxRcd” column :
10.1.1.1 state is 2 that means BGP session to the 10.1.1.1 neighbor is already established
10.3.3.3 state is idle. This means that neighbor is established, but the router has not received any BGP routing updates from the 10.3.3.3 neighbor.
Please digitaltut or anybody here correct me if im wrong. Or leave ur comments
@zak
look what write about IDLE:
1 – Idle: the initial state of a BGP connection. In this state, the BGP speaker is waiting for a BGP start event, generally either the establishment of a TCP connection or the re-establishment of a previous connection. Once the connection is established, BGP moves to the next state.
THIS NOT MEAN THAT neighbor is established its INITIAL STATE
SO A F IS RIGHT
now what the correct answer ?????????????????
If you’re confused, always trust digitaltut ;) BTW correct as AF
Hi Guys
I am preping for my MPLS 642-611 exam. Can someone please point me to the right directions for dumps / labs. I have old dumps but i have no idea how exam labs looks like. Any help will be great.
Thanks.
hey,
on question 6 in the question it sais both are originated locally, would the next test not be AS-path? (i know local pref was not mentioned in the question but knowing the twisted way Cisco like to trick us)
cheers
Taking Route Paper Tomorrow :)
I have made all of the 642-902 Test sims in a GNS3 format, just email if you want a copy at cciersbound@yahoo.com

Which BGP command provides the router ID, local preference, next hop, and BGP path in its output?
Is the answer –> Show IP BGP or
Show IP BGP Summary
Which BGP option is required when load sharing over multiple equal-bandwidth parallel links from a single CE router to a single ISP router over eBGP?
——————————–
A. eBGP Multipath
B. eBGP Multihop
C. BGP Synchronization
D. Public AS numbers
Some sites say Multipath and others have Multihop.
@Rodrick
I was a little confused too but after re-reading the cert book I noticed the use of loopback interfaces. So, in this configuration, one would have to use loopbacks forcing the use of the Multihop command
@Rodrick Burke
Use google, Luke
Correct answer is B
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_configuration_example09186a00800945
bf.shtml
Can someone explain this answer? q92 from dodo
the suggested answer is B,C – doesn’t the suggested answers just re-route the heavy traffic over router F to router B? Should B,D be the correct answer?
Question:109
Refer to the exhibit. Currently the two eBGP links between AS100 and AS200 have an
average inbound load of 65% and 20% respectively. After further investigation, traffic to
10.10.1.16/28 accounts for 45%, and traffic to 10.10.1.32/28 and to 10.10.1.48/28 each
account for 20% of the inbound load. The BGP attributes are currently set at their default
values in both autonomous systems.
If you want to influence how AS200 sends traffic to AS100, which eBGP configurations would
you configure in AS100 to influence AS200 to use the eBGP links more evenly? (Choose two.)
A. neighbor 192.168.30.2 route-map as_50 out
B. neighbor 192.168.20.2 route-map as_50 out
C. route-map as_50 permit 10
match ip address 50
set metric 150
access-list 50 permit 10.10.1.16 0.0.0.240
D. route-map as_50 permit 10
match ip address 50
set metric 150
access-list 50 permit 10.10.1.32 0.0.0.240
please, anyone?
reddy,
B,C is the best answer, the reason being that with B,C, the whole traffic for 10.10.1.16 network is routed towards router A and the other two are filtered out, which makes total traffic towards this router through the first link as 45% (down from 65%)- Remember we are required to balance the traffic on the two LINKS and NOT the 3 routers.
Thanks Tai – but I’m not understanding how B,C re-directs 10.10.1.32 and .48 traffic to the other side. The lowest MED wins so RtrA having a higher MED than RtrB for the .16 traffic should force it to RtrB. The .32 and .48 are still tie.
My understanding is lower MED wins and if no match in RM then the traffic is routed as normal not blocked. Default MED is 100. Are my assumptions not correct?
reddy
Thanks for making me re-consider and now I am wondering if any of these combinations is correct- The reason is that the default MED is 0 (not 100)- Why is he giving 150, instead of say 1, or 10?? Is he confusing it with some other P/A ?? I have a feeling that this might be the case, I hope in exam we get the right choices.
In the current scenario, however, B,D does seem to be a better option, although still don’t know whether this was the intended route, and still no clear indication of the route choices of the other two routes.
Any exam takers’ comments if they saw this in the exam????
The real world examples I found always implement MED on both routers not just one
B,C is the most popular answer so it must have some merit
You r right, MED is normally implemented on 2 routers, making one lower than other- Normally it is not compared against default, since default is 0- If you put one MED value only, it is bound to make that route of lesser priority- That’s what make me think that the question is not so simple, or it is missing something.
I would like to go with the right answer rather than the popluar one, however there is no clear right answer as far as I can see.
I found my assumption pertaining to RM was wrong – there is an implicit ‘deny any’ at the end.
I couldn’t find it in the current cert book but found it in an old 640-503 cert book
Question 4
“Based on the show ip bgp summary output. which two statements are true?”
Answer: A F
A – The BGP session to the 10.1.1.1 neighbor is established
This can also be verified by looking at the BGP table version and main routing table version at the top of the output and the TblVer in the neighbor outputs at the bottom. If these numbers all match, the neighbors are fully converged.
herbert-4D483238@fireden.netahmad-4D483238@fireden.netFinaly i found what i wanted.
jerry———–!
I think the answer is right.
MED is used to influence the neighbor AS routers to choose the best path to get into your AS.
But here the answer says that what route will router A choose to reach the given network.
As the decision is for out going route and with reference to router A only weight-age is the best solution.
please check whether i am right or not ?
Hey guys! Don’t you think that both of these ACLs are exactly equal:
access-list 50 permit 10.10.1.16 0.0.0.240
access-list 50 permit 10.10.1.32 0.0.0.240
0.0.0.240 – Wildcard mask! Right?
so 0s => those digits must match
1s => those digits we don’t care about
10.10.1.16 = 00001010.00001010.00000001.00010000
10.10.1.32 = 00001010.00001010.00000001.00100000
0.0.0.240 = 00000000.00000000.00000000.11110000
which means that both ACLs will permit 10.10.1.16
10.10.1.32
10.10.1.48
10.10.1.64
10.10.1.80
10.10.1.96
and so on in increments of 16
and deny all others!!
Guess something’s wrong!
Hi, I had my exam yesterday and first question there was that with redisribution of trafic between AS according to metric. Right answers are:
B. neighbor 192.168.20.2 route-map as_50 out
D. route-map as_50 permit 10
match ip address 50
set metric 150
access-list 50 permit 10.10.1.32 0.0.0.240
I had 100% froom BGP.
@ Adam
thanks for that! I was looking to ask someone.
Moss
@Adam
are you sure ? anyone have more details about the correct answer ?choose B.C or B.D
The correct answer is B.D. My explination is : Traffic for the 10.10.1.32 compares the two med values on router E and F, it sees that the med associated with it for choosing the path through E->A is 150 which is higher than the path throuth F->B ( which is set at the default value of 0 ) thus choosing to exit through router F ( remember with med lower is better ). Traffic for 10.1.1.16 is untouched.
im on my ccnp route exam nxt month
need latest 642-902 dumps. please mail it to bigbiru@gmail.com
The computer at my test center crashed halfway through ROUTE exam. I was on question 28 when the test error occured. I have to reschedule now and start all over again.
Thanks for this inffo guys!!!! you all goos cool i bet Huh?????
The Answers given by Adam and Alex are correct only dump to give correct answer is Cisco TestKing 642-902 v2010-10-21 by irshad 484q i think.
Question 6 is a bit strange. The order of BGP path determination is:
Is next hop available?
Weight
Local Preference
Locally Injected or learned by BGP?
AS path
This means that the NEXT means of determining the best path after locally injected is AS path, but they didnt mention the local preference was the same. So this is the answer, but its out of order.
adam and alex are completely right about B & D being the correct answer.
which statement is true about iBGP routers
a: must be fully meshed
b: can be in different AS
c: must be directly connected
d: do not need to be directly connected
answer should be a not d?
rogerbee… i think it is D ….
@fschris… so much research 4 1 lousy question… but you’re right, it’s D. thnx
and of course thnx to tut.com and all contributors
@Sergey
The access lists in the question you referenced are for different subnets. Actually, the wildcard masks listed in the question are incorrect, as it’s an invalid wildcard mask. It should be:
access-list 50 permit 10.10.1.16 0.0.0.15
access-list 50 permit 10.10.1.32 0.0.0.15
not:
access-list 50 permit 10.10.1.16 0.0.0.240
access-list 50 permit 10.10.1.32 0.0.0.240
Regardless….
The first access-list is for the IP range of 10.10.1.16-10.10.1.31.
The second access-list is for the IP range of 10.10.1.32-10.10.1.47.
Hope that helps.
@adam and @alex
Thankx for that info….both of u….like to thank reddy and tai for that initial discussion also….So the correct answer are B & D….
Hi guys following up on the same question 85 AS 200 and AS 100. I created a lab for it and tried both the access list in answer C and D. When i checked the sh running-config, it should up as 10.10.1.0 0.0.0.240 for both access-lists.
So according to me, B is definitely the correct option. It doesn’t matter whether you select option C or D. both are correct. I confirmed this in my lab, all three prefixes 10.10.1.16, 10.10.1.32 and 10.10.1.48 have their metrics changed to 150. Would appreciate it if someone can try this in a lab and see if they meet with the same results, because as per my findings the metric is changed for all 3 prefixes and that doesn’t resolve anything as the link B-F will now be overloaded with all traffic moving over it.
Running out of hair to pull, would appreciate someone trying this in a lab.
Hello guys..
does anyone have ccnp route 642-902 cbt, pass4sure or any dumps. kindly send me links on shariq2009@live.com or u can send here as well.
Thanksss
Hello,
A. All six routes will be installed in the routing table.
B. Two routes will be installed in the routing table.
C. Four routes will be installed in the routing table.
D. All the routes were redistributed into BGP from an IGP.
E. All the routes were originated by BGP with the network command.
Answers: C and D
can anyone explain why D?
Origin
Well known, mandatory: The origin of the route tells us if the route is internal to the originating AS. The legal values are:
* i – Internal/IGP
* e – External/EGP
* ? – incomplete
Note that this attribute refers to the originating router which is the router that advertised the route into BGP, and not the router receiving the route. That is, most routes will be internal since they will have been advertised by the normal means of a network statement:
r2:
router bgp 3
network 10.2.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0
On r0, we see this network as:
r0#show ip bgp 10.2.2.0
BGP routing table entry for 10.2.2.0/24, version 3
Paths: (1 available, best #1, table Default-IP-Routing-Table)
Not advertised to any peer
3
192.168.3.6 from 10.50.0.2 (10.3.3.1)
Origin IGP, metric 0, localpref 100, valid, internal, best
If this is changed to
r2:
router bgp 3
redistribute connected
we see
r0#show ip bgp 10.2.2.0
BGP routing table entry for 10.2.2.0/24, version 12
Paths: (1 available, best #1, table Default-IP-Routing-Table)
Not advertised to any peer
3
192.168.3.6 from 10.50.0.2 (10.3.3.1)
Origin incomplete, metric 0, localpref 100, valid, internal, best
Since the route has been redistributed from another routing protocol (ie connected) before getting into BGP, the origin is considered incomplete.
Can anybody tell me fees structure for CCNP for 3 papers
Thanks
can someone help me with this question from gony dump: http://i56.tinypic.com/16iil9y.jpg
From what I can see is that changing the MED/Metric to 150 for network 10.10.1.16/28 and annouce it to AS 200 will make AS 200 choose the path through router B.
Now 20% of the traffic is going via router A and 65% via router B. How can this be the correct answer? Or do I miss something ?
I may be crazy but I think both route map statements are wrong
according to route map logic the route map filters routes as well as setting the metrics.
route-map as_50 permit 10
match ip address 50
set metric 150
access-list 50 permit 10.10.1.32 0.0.0.240
without another route map permit statement allowing all other routes this would filter all other routes and only allow 10.10.1.32 to be advertised to the neighbor and then set the metric to 150 which would cause the routers to still use path B because of the better(lower) MED attribute – all traffic would take route B.
route-map as_50 permit 10
match ip address 50
set metric 150
access-list 50 permit 10.10.1.16 0.0.0.240
This would filter all other routes and allow only 10.10.1.16 to be advertised to the neighbor and set the metric to 150 and again all traffic would take the other through B. In fact it doesnt matter which neighbor you advertise to, it will cause all traffic to route out one path.
The route maps would have to be fixed by adding an addition statement permitting all other routes but not setting a metric
route-map as_50 permit 20
I guess we are supposed to assume that the route maps have that extra statement. Thats BS i think these questions should be written with full proper configurations and not half configs with assumptions

Hello Friends,
I just started to study the ROUTE test after taking almost two years off from passing the CCNA. I am planning to take the ROUTE test in two months. Are the Sims, Drag and Drop, Questions, and everything else on this site still valid for the ROUTE test?
Thank you all!
For the accompanying router output, which of the following statements describes the state that neighbor 172.16.254.3 is in?
Select the best response.
A.
The router will not accept connections from the peer.
B.
The router has sent out an active TCP connection request to the peer.
C.
The router is listening on its server port for connection requests from the peer.
D.
BGP can exchange routing information in this state.
Answer: C
Can someone explain the answer plz
I too have a problem with question 6,
BGP contains two paths to a destination. Assuming both routes were originated locally and have an equal weight. what will be the next determining factor in choosing the best path?
A – lowest MED
B – highest local preference
C – lowest neighbor IP address
D – lowest origin code
E – shortest AS-path
Answer: B
By saying what’s next after after local origion, they must imply that local preference has already been evaluated and skipped due to being default, so the next would be shortest-AS path.
