R1 serves as a route reflector on a BGP-enabled network and has dual RPs installed. To ensure that all routes have been processed when an RP fails over, R1 must send the router request to all peers configured with NSR to refresh the route database. Which action completes the implementation?

  1. Implement bgp fast-external-failover under the BGP IPv4 address-family configuration.
  2. Enable bgp ietf rp route-update in the global router configuration.
  3. Enable bgp sso route-refresh-enable in the global BGP configuration.
  4. Implement bgp consistency-checker auto-repair under the Cisco Express Forwarding configuration.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Enabling bgp sso route-refresh-enable ensures that when the standby RP takes over under NSR, R1 automatically issues Route Refresh messages to all BGP peers so their full route tables are re-advertised and the RIB/RIB-IN stays synchronized.

Refer to the exhibit. A network engineer just upgraded the Cisco IOS XE Software to the newest version on OSPF routers R1 and R2, added the point-to-point network type under Gi0/0 on R2, and configured ip route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.2 on R1. After the engineer restarted the routers, R1 entered the Exstart state with its neighbor, but the adjacency has not been established. Which action must the engineer take to resolve the issue?

  1. Set the network type of the R2 OSPF interface to broadcast.
  2. Add a static route toward 192.168.20.0 on R2.
  3. Change the R2 OSPF router ID to 10.1.1.1.
  4. Decrease the OSPF cost of the network on R2 to 10.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Because R1's GigabitEthernet0/0 is using the default (broadcast) network type while R2 was manually set to point-to-point, their OSPF option bits don't match and the adjacency can't progress past Exstart. Restoring R2's interface to broadcast (so both sides use the same network type) allows them to elect DR/BDR and finish the adjacency.

Refer to the exhibit. The network manager asked a network engineer to increase data-plane security on an Edge router connected to the internet with these requirements:

Allow incoming HTTP traffic from any source to the Web server with IP address 192.168.1.10.

Allow incoming SSH traffic from the management host with IP address 10.0.0.10.

Block incoming Telnet traffic from all sources.

Which action must the engineer take to meet the requirements?

  1. Implement port security under the Gi0/0 interface.
  2. Implement uRPF under the Gi1/0 interface.
  3. Implement an access control list under the Gi1/0 interface.
  4. Implement Network Address Translation under the Gi0/0 interface.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

You meet those requirements by applying an IP ACL on the internet-facing interface (Gi1/0) that permits TCP port80 to 192.168.1.10, permits TCP port22 from 10.0.0.10, explicitly denies TCP port23, then permits any other traffic.
ip access-list extended INTERNET-IN
permit tcp any host 192.168.1.10 eq 80
permit tcp host 10.0.0.10 host 192.168.1.10 eq 22
deny tcp any any eq 23
permit ip any any

Refer to the exhibit. A network operations team is implementing eBGP on the service provider network. Data traffic between routers R1 and R4 must use the R2-R3 link, which connects AS 65101 and AS65201. iBGP sessions with adjacent routers are up on 10.10.10.1 and 10.10.10.4. The team is now updating the configuration for eBGP peers on routers R2 and R3. Which action must be taken to meet the requirements?

  1. Add the soft-reconfiguration command.
  2. Add the ebgp-multihop command.
  3. Remove the update-source command.
  4. Remove the next-hop-self command.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Because R2 and R3 are peering eBGP over their loopback interfaces, you must enable ebgp-multihop so that the TTL isn't limited to 1 hop. For example on R2:
router bgp 65101
neighbor 10.0.0.6 remote-as 65201
neighbor 10.0.0.6 update-source Loopback0
neighbor 10.0.0.6 ebgp-multihop 2
- and the mirror command on R3 - allowing the eBGP session to form over the indirect link.

Refer to the exhibit. Company A has two offices that communicate via a service provider in AS 65516. CE1 arid CE2 provide connections to the service provider from site 1 and site 2 respectively. Both customer sites use BGP as the PE-CE routing protocol. Which configuration must the engineer apply to ensure that traffic passes between the two sites?

  1. CE2(config)#router bgp 65514
    CE2(config-router)#neighbor 192.168.1.1 as-override
  2. CE1(config)#router bgp 65514
    CE1(config-router)#neighbor 192.168.1.2 allowas-in
  3. PE2(config)#router bgp 65516
    PE2(config-router)#neighbor 192.168.1.1 next-hop-self
    PE4(config)#router bgp 65516
    PE4(config-router)#neighbor 192.168.2.1 next-hop-self
  4. CE1(config)#router bgp 65514
    CE1(config-router)#neighbor 192.168.1.2 next-hop-self
    CE2(config)#router bgp 65514
    CE2(config-router)#neighbor 192.168.2.2 next-hop-self

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Because both CE routers share AS65514, routes learned via the SP (AS65516) carry AS65514 in their AS-PATH and would be rejected as loops. Applying neighbor <PE-IP> allowas-in on the CE lets it accept prefixes that contain its own AS in the path, so CE1 can learn the Site2 routes (and likewise you would mirror it on CE2 for Site1).
CE1(config)# router bgp 65514
CE1(config-router)# neighbor 192.168.1.2 allowas-in

Topology



Tasks

Alpha company has decided to implement OSPF. As per the network design, it is a multi-Area OSPF configuration both for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. The engineer has already completed the configuration on R2. The below tasks are needed to complete the implementation.

Task 1:

Configure OSPFv2 on R1 and R3 and advertise all networks.

Process ID = 1

Router ID = Loopback 0

Passive Interface = Ethernet

Task 2:

Configure OSPFv3 on R1 and R3 and advertise all networks.

Process ID = 10

Router ID = Loopback 0

Passive Interface = Ethernet

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Task 1: OSPFv2 on R1 and R3

R1:
R1(config)# router ospf 1
R1(config-router)# router-id 1.1.1.1
R1(config-router)# passive-interface Ethernet0/0
R1(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 5
R1(config-router)# network 10.1.0.0 0.0.0.255 area 5
R1(config-router)# network 1.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 5 !--Loopback0 R1(config-router)# exit
R1(config)# interface loopback0
R1(config-if)# ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255
R1(config-if)# exit
R1(config)# write memory

Defines OSPF process1 with router-ID set to Loopback0, advertises each directly-connected IPv4 network into area5, and suppresses hellos on the LAN-facing Ethernet0/0.

R3:
R3(config)# router ospf 1
R3(config-router)# router-id 3.3.3.3
R3(config-router)# passive-interface Ethernet0/0
R3(config-router)# network 192.168.3.0 0.0.0.255 area 10
R3(config-router)# network 10.2.0.0 0.0.0.255 area 10
R3(config-router)# network 3.3.3.3 0.0.0.0 area 10 !--Loopback0 R3(config-router)# exit
R3(config)# interface loopback0
R3(config-if)# ip address 3.3.3.3 255.255.255.255
R3(config-if)# exit
R3(config)# write memory

Same process1 on R3, router-ID from Loopback0, all local networks into area10, and Ethernet0/0 passive.

Task2: OSPFv3 on R1 and R3

R1:
R1(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
R1(config)# interface loopback0
R1(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:DB8:1::1/128
R1(config-if)# exit
R1(config)# ipv6 router ospf 10
R1(config-rtr)# router-id 1.1.1.1
R1(config-rtr)# passive-interface Ethernet0/0
R1(config-rtr)# exit
R1(config)# interface Ethernet0/0
R1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf 10 area 5
R1(config-if)# exit
R1(config)# interface Ethernet0/1

R1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf 10 area 5
R1(config-if)# exit
R1(config)# interface loopback0
R1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf 10 area 5
R1(config-if)# exit
R1(config)# write memory

Enables IPv6 routing, assigns a /128 on Loopback0, creates OSPFv3 process10 with router-ID from Loopback0, makes Ethernet0/0 passive, and binds each interface's IPv6 subnet into area5.

R3:
R3(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
R3(config)# interface loopback0
R3(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:DB8:3::3/128
R3(config-if)# exit
R3(config)# ipv6 router ospf 10
R3(config-rtr)# router-id 3.3.3.3
R3(config-rtr)# passive-interface Ethernet0/0
R3(config-rtr)# exit
R3(config)# interface Ethernet0/0
R3(config-if)# ipv6 ospf 10 area 10
R3(config-if)# exit
R3(config)# interface Ethernet0/2
R3(config-if)# ipv6 ospf 10 area 10
R3(config-if)# exit
R3(config)# interface loopback0
R3(config-if)# ipv6 ospf 10 area 10
R3(config-if)# exit
R3(config)# write memory

Mirrors R1's OSPFv3 setup on R3 with process10, router-ID from Loopback0, passive LAN interface, and all IPv6 subnets into area10.

Topology



Tasks

BGP peering has been pre-configured. Perform the following control-plane security features given the topology below.

Task 1:

Configure MD5 authentication between the BGP peers across both R1 and R2's Loopback 0 interface using the password Ci$c012345!!

Task 2:

Configure five as the maximum number of BGP prefixes allowed to be leaned between R1 and R2.

Initial configuration with IP addressing has been completed. The candidate must not make any changes to the configurations except to fulfill the tasks listed above.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

BGP MD5 authentication is enabled per-neighbor by configuring a shared password on both peers; it must match on each side or the TCP session will not establish. The maximum-prefix feature protects the control plane by limiting how many routes a neighbor can advertise/receive before triggering the configured action. Apply both settings on each router for the Loopback0-based eBGP neighbor.

R1 (AS 100), neighbor = R2 Loopback0 (10.2.2.2):

router bgp 100
neighbor 10.2.2.2 password Ci$c012345!!

neighbor 10.2.2.2 maximum-prefix 5

R2 (AS 200), neighbor = R1 Loopback0 (10.1.1.1):

router bgp 200
neighbor 10.1.1.1 password Ci$c012345!!
neighbor 10.1.1.1 maximum-prefix 5
