Refer to the exhibit.



An engineer is comparing these RPL and route map configurations. Which two conclusions will the engineer reach? (Choose two.)

  1. RPL is applying local preference 50 and community (2:666) for all prefixes, but the route map is applying only local preference 50 for all prefixes.
  2. RPL and the route map are applying only local preference 50 for prefix 172.22.0.0/16.
  3. RPL is applying local preference 50 and community (2:666) for prefix 172.22.0.0/16, but the route map is applying only local preference 50 for the same prefix.
  4. RPL is applying local preference 100 and community (2:100) for multiple prefixes, but the route map is applying default local preference for multiple prefixes.
  5. RPL is applying policy only on BGP IPv6 address families, but the route map is applying policy on BGP IPv4 and IPv6 address families.

Answer(s): C,D

Explanation:

RPL is applying local preference 50 and community (2:666) for prefix 172.22.0.0/16, but the route map is applying only local preference 50 for the same prefix.
The RPL configuration applies both local preference 50 and community (2:666, no-advertise) for the prefix 172.22.0.0/16. The route map, however, matches the same prefix using the prefix list LOW_LP_PREFIXES but only applies local preference 50. There is no community set in the route map.

RPL is applying local preference 100 and community (2:100) for multiple prefixes, but the route map is applying default local preference for multiple prefixes.
In the RPL configuration, prefixes other than 172.22.0.0/16 (i.e., in the else block) are assigned local preference 100 and community (2:100). The route map does not explicitly configure a local preference for unmatched prefixes, so the default BGP local preference (100) is applied. The key difference is that the RPL also sets a community (2:100) for the other prefixes, which is not applied by the route map.



What is the purpose of the confederation identifier in a BGP confederation?

  1. It reflects the route reflector cluster ID within the confederation.
  2. It carries the AS number within the confederation’s local autonomous system.
  3. It advertises routes outside of the confederation’s autonomous system.
  4. It identifies the autonomous system that belongs to the confederation.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

In BGP confederations, the confederation identifier represents the external AS number for the entire confederation. The BGP confederation splits a single large autonomous system (AS) into smaller, manageable sub-ASes. These sub-ASes use private AS numbers internally but appear as a single unified AS to external BGP peers. The confederation identifier ensures that external BGP peers see the confederation as one cohesive AS rather than multiple smaller ASes.

Topology:



Tasks:
Troubleshoot and configure BGP according to the topology to achieve these goals:
1. R1 and R3 establishes IBGP connectivity using Loopback addresses. The updates should come from Loopback0.
2. R3 should be able to ping loopback0 interface of R2. These changes must be accomplished through BGP.
3. R1 advertises only the summary route of 172.16.100.0/22 to R2 and R3.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Step 1: R1 and R3 IBGP Connectivity Using Loopback0

To establish IBGP between R1 and R3 using their Loopback0 interfaces and ensure updates originate from Loopback0, configure the following:

On R1:
router bgp 100
neighbor 10.3.3.3 remote-as 100
neighbor 10.3.3.3 update-source Loopback0

On R3:
router bgp 100
neighbor 10.1.1.1 remote-as 100
neighbor 10.1.1.1 update-source Loopback0

neighbor update-source Loopback0 ensures that the BGP updates are sourced from Loopback0.

Verify the BGP peering: show ip bgp summary

Step 2: R3 Can Ping R2 Loopback0 (10.2.2.2/32)

To allow R3 to reach R2’s Loopback0, configure R1 to redistribute the route from EBGP to IBGP. Ensure next-hop resolution works correctly:

On R1:
router bgp 100
neighbor 10.3.3.3 next-hop-self

next-hop-self: This changes the next-hop IP to R1's IP when advertising routes to R3. This ensures R3 can resolve the next-hop for R2's loopback.

Step 3: R1 Advertises Only Summary Route (172.16.100.0/22)

To advertise only the summary route 172.16.100.0/22 to both R2 and R3:

On R1:
router bgp 100
network 172.16.100.0 mask 255.255.252.0
aggregate-address 172.16.100.0 255.255.252.0 summary-only

aggregate-address 172.16.100.0 255.255.252.0 summary-only advertises the summary route and suppresses more specific routes.

Verification Commands:
-Verify IBGP Peering: show ip bgp summary
-Verify BGP Advertisements: show ip bgp
-Verify R3 Reachability to R2’s Loopback: ping 10.2.2.2 source Loopback0
-Verify the Summary Route Advertisement on R2 and R3: show ip bgp

-IBGP Peering: Use Loopback0 and configure update-source.
-Next-Hop Resolution: next-hop-self ensures reachability for EBGP routes.
-Summary Route: Use aggregate-address with summary-only to advertise a summary route.



Which requirement must be met while using parameter with conditional matching in routing policy definition?

  1. Parameters must be used only in route maps.
  2. Parameters must start with the $ symbol.
  3. Parameters must be used in a hierarchal structure.
  4. Parameters must be applied only to BGP statements.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In routing policy definitions, parameters are used for conditional matching and must start with the $ symbol. The $ symbol designates a parameter variable that can be used in the policy logic to dynamically match conditions such as prefixes, communities, or attributes.



How does conditional matching operate with RPL?

  1. The matching identifies a set of criteria, and an action is taken based on whether the criteria are the same or different.
  2. The matching identifies a group of routes that are removed from the routing table when the administrator defined tags match.
  3. The matching identifies tags that are placed on routes from neighboring autonomous systems and drops the routes if they are the same.
  4. The matching identifies interfaces that run the same routing protocol and manipulates data based on the routing rules.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

RPL (Routing Policy Language) operates by using conditional matching to evaluate routes based on specific criteria. The criteria can include attributes like prefixes, communities, route tags, local preferences, or AS paths. Once the match condition is evaluated, an action is taken depending on whether the criteria match or differ. Actions can include setting attributes, accepting, rejecting, or modifying routes.
