BGP Fundamentals
Here you will find answers to BGP Fundamentals Questions

Answer: A
Question 3
Which two statements about a transit AS are correct? (Choose two)
A. A transit AS has eBGP connection(s) to only one external AS.
B. Routes between ASs are always exchanged via eBGP.
C. A transit AS uses an IGP like OSPF or ISIS to propagate the external networks within the transit AS.
D. Core routers within a transit AS normally use default routing to reach the external networks.
E. iBGP sessions can be established between non directly connected routers.
Answer: B E
Question 4
Which command is used to configure the external, confederation-wide AS number?
A. router(config)#router bgp {as-number}
B. router(config-router)#bgp confederation peers {as-number}
C. router(config-router)#bgp confederation identifier {as-number}
D. router(config-router)#bgp cluster-id {as-number}
E. router(config-router)#neighbor {ip address} remote-as {as-number}
Answer: C
Question 5
In a Transit AS, how do the internal routers within the Transit AS
forward packets destined for the external networks using a scalable
solution?
A. using the default route
B. using the IGP routes where the external networks are redistributed into the IGP by the edge routers
C. using the EBGP routes where the external networks are redistributed into the IBGP by the edge routers
D. using the IBGP routes, then using recursive lookup based on IGP information to resolve the BGP next-hop
Answer: D
Question 6

A. The “No Sync” BGP configuration command is missing.
B. R2 and R3 are not using the loopback0 IP address as the source address for the BGP messages to each other.
C. The “network 2.0.0.0″ BGP configuration command is missing on R2 and
the “network 3.0.0.0″ BGP configuration command is missing on R3.
D. The “neighbor 2.2.2.2 ibgp-multihop 2″ BGP configuration command is
missing on R3 and the “neighbor 3.3.3.3 ibgp-multihop 2″ BGP
configuration command is missing on R2.
Answer: B
Question 7
What are two purposes of the BGP scan-time command? (Choose two)
A. to tune the BGP process which walks the BGP table and confirms the reachability of next hops
B. to allow faster detection of downed BGP peers
C. to improve BGP convergence time
D. to tune the BGP update interval
E. to decrease the effects of unstable routes by increasing the route suppression time
Answer: A C
Question 8
If there is no exact match in the local routing table, what three
conditions would result in BGP introducing the classful network
172.0.0.0 with the mask 255.0.0.0 into the BGP table? (Choose three)
A. no auto-summary is configured under the router bgp {as no.} command
B. network 172.0.0.0 is configured under the router bgp {as no.} command
C. any classful network must exist in the BGP table
D. auto-summary is enabled under the router bgp {as no.} command
E. the routing table contains the subnet 172.172.172.0 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
F. a classless network must exist in the BGP table
Answer: B D E
