BGP Quick Summary:

Protocol type: Path Vector
Type: EGP (External Gateway Protocol)
Packet Types: Open, Update, KeepAlive, Notification
Administrative Distance: eBGP: 20; iBGP: 200
Transport: TCP port 179
Neighbor States: Idle -> Active -> Connect -> Open Sent -> Open Confirm -> Established
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 cannot 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, which tells us the number of prefixes the router has received from a neighbor or peer group.
Path Selection Attributes: (highest) Weight > (highest) Local Preference > Originate > (shortest) AS Path > Origin > (lowest) MED > External > IGP Cost > eBGP Peering > (lowest) Router ID
(Originate: prefer routes that it installed into BGP by itself over a route that another router installed in BGP)
Authentication: MD5
BGP Origin codes: i – IGP (injected by “network” statement), e – EGP, ? – Incomplete
AS number range: Private AS range: 64512 – 65535, Globally (unique) AS: 1 – 64511

More information about popular Path Selection Attributes
Weight Attribute:
+ Cisco proprietary
+ First attribute used in Path selection
+ Only used locally in a router (not be exchanged between BGP neighbors)
+ Higher weight is preferred
Weight_BGP_Attribute_Influence.jpg

Local Preference (LocalPrf) Attribute:
+ Sent to all iBGP neighbor (not be exchanged between eBGP neighbors)
+ Used to choose the path to external BGP neighbors
+ Higher value is preferred
+ Default value is 100

LocalPreference_BGP_Influence.jpg

MED Attribute:
+ Optional nontransitive attribute (nontransitive means that we can only advertise MED to routers that are one AS away)
+ Sent through ASes to external BGP neighbors
+ Lower value is preferred (it can be considered the external metric of a route)
+ Default value is 0

Question 1

Explanation

Private autonomous system (AS) numbers which range from 64512 to 65535 are used to conserve globally unique AS numbers. Globally unique AS numbers (1 – 64511) are assigned by InterNIC. These private AS number cannot be leaked to a global Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) table because they are not unique (BGP best path calculation expects unique AS numbers).

Reference: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/border-gateway-protocol-bgp/13756-32.html

Question 2

Explanation

If MTU on two interfaces are mismatched, the BGP neighbors may flap, the BGP state drops and the logs generate missing BGP hello keepalives or the other peer terminates the session.

For more information about MTU mismatched between BGP neighbors please read: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/border-gateway-protocol-bgp/116377-troubleshoot-bgp-mtu.html

Question 3

Explanation

Notice that the Administrative Distance (AD) of External BGP (eBGP) is 20 while the AD of internal BGP (iBGP) is 200.

Question 4

Explanation

Private autonomous system (AS) numbers which range from 64512 to 65535 are used to conserve globally unique AS numbers. These private AS number cannot be leaked to a global BGP table because they are not unique.

Question 5


Explanation

BGP Neighbor states are: Idle – Connect – Active – Open Sent – Open Confirm – Established

Question 6


Explanation

BGP peers are established by manual configuration between routing devices to create a TCP session on (destination) port 179.

Question 7


Explanation

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 cannot 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.

    @ada Cisco says…..”Private autonomous system (AS) numbers which range from 64512 to 65535 are used to conserve globally unique AS numbers. ”

    I think we need to stuck in to What cisco says on cisco exams…

    https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/border-gateway-protocol-bgp/13756-32.html

    @digitaltut what is your idea?

    Question 4

    0: reserved.
    1-64.495: public AS numbers.
    64.496 – 64.511 – reserved to use in documentation.
    64.512 – 65.534 – private AS numbers.
    65.535 – reserved

    Private autonomous system (AS) numbers which range from 64512 to 65535 are used to conserve globally unique AS numbers.
    Question 4

    Hello folks

    Please someone who took the test recently (No spammers) please confirm the dumps that we can trust or if the questions in this site are correct.
    Not only for me, maybe for all of who will take the test.

    Hello Team,

    I would like to thank you for the advises and that you share your experience, I recently pass the route exam :D….
    I study with the Official cert Kevin Wallace, CBT nuggets (nothing that you cannt find for your own in a torrent) and with this site.
    I can say that I found a couple of new questions and a new Frame relay drag and drop that is not here:

    SVC —— A circuit that provides temporary on-demand connections between DTEs
    DLCI—— A locally significant ID
    PVC ——-A logical connection comprising two endpoints and CIR
    LMI ——- A signaling mechanism for frame relay devices
    FECN—– An indicator of congestion on the network.

    But this does not mean you will not pass the exam for 2 questions.

    Please do not pay for dumps or believe in guys who post “new dump” or “I have the new dump”, or “I failed the exam”, those guys should be rape and kill!!!!!!

    Anyway, hope you pass the exam and share your real experience for the other exams.

    I’m not sure about Q8, but answer may be A (MED). The question asks about making decision between links and we can find in OCG next statements:
    “The name Multi-Exit Discriminator actually describes its function to a great degree.
    With a dual-homed design, at least two links exist between an enterprise and its ISP. The
    enterprise can announce to the ISP a value (MED) that tells the ISP which path into the
    enterprise is best. As a result, the ISP can discriminate between the multiple exit points
    from that ISP to the enterprise”.

    But I am confused by the mention of two AS in the question, so I am not 100% sure.

    Q 9. Can anybody explain the question about format of IPv4 converted to IPv6?

  41. htown
    May 25th, 2018

    Q9. Explanation

    IPv4-compatible IPv6 addresses are IPv6 unicast addresses that have zeros in the high-order 96 bits of the address, and an IPv4 address in the low-order 32 bits. They can be written as 0:0:0:0:0:0:A.B.C.D or ::A.B.C.D, where “A.B.C.D” represents the embedded IPv4 address.

  42. htown
    May 25th, 2018

    Q9. Explanation

    Also see this:

    The IPv4 address of your border router is 192.168.99.1. Derive your 6to4 prefix from your IPv4 address by converting the decimal components of the IPv4 address to hexadecimal and then prefixing “2002” to the resulting hexadecimal numbers. So the 6to4 prefix for the IPv6 nodes in your network is 2002:C0A8:6301::/128.

    AS: 65000 65001

    It shows some configure of Router B, after implement, neighbour relationship with Router C is broken

    Ask how to fix that

    A: Forgot
    B: Multihop change to 1
    C: Forgot
    D: IBGP change to EBGP
