BGP uses TCP port ____
Definition
179
Term
What is BGPs routing loop avoidance mechanism?
Definition
Looks for its own AS in updates, if found, it's discarded
Term
To view Neighbor Database, issue this command:
Definition
show ip bgp summary
Term
BGP database/RIB DB
Definition
show ip bgp
Term
Routing Table
Definition
show ip route
Term
Open BGP Message Type
Definition
after neighbor is configured, Open message is sent. Includes AS#, Router-ID, and Hold Time
Term
Update BGP Message Type
Definition
Transfers routing info. Includes new routes, withdrawn routes, and path attributes
Term
Keepalive BGP Message Type
Definition
Keepalives keep neighbor relationships active. 60 second default
Term
Notifications BGP Message Type
Definition
When problem occurs that causes neighbor relationship to fail, notification is sent
Term
Default BGP next hop =
Definition
IP address of the neighbor from which the update was received
Term
Idle Peering State
Definition
No peering, router is looking for neighbor
Term
Connect Peering State
Definition
TCP handshake completed
Term
OpenSent, or Active Peering State
Definition
Open message sent to establish peering session
Term
OpenConfirm Peering State
Definition
Router has received reply to open sent msg
Term
Established Peering State
Definition
BGP peering session successful.
Term
Attributes: Must be recognized by all routers, present in all routing updates, and passed on to other BGP routers
Definition
Well-Known Mandatory
Term
Attributes: Must be recognized by all BGP routers, and passed on to to other routers, but do not need to be present
Definition
Well-known Discretionary
Term
Might be recognized, but is passed on to other routers
Definition
Optional Transitives
Term
Attributes: Might be recognized, and is NOT passed on to other routers
Definition
Optional Non Transitive
MED
Term
AS Path attribute
Definition
Ordered list of ASs;
well-known mandatory
Term
Origin Attribute
Definition
How this network was learned:
i = network command
? = redistribution
e = EGP, should not see this one

Well-known mandatory
Term
Local Preference Attribute
Definition
value telling IBGP peers which path to select for traffic leaving the AS.
Default = 100

Well-known Discretionary

Highest Preferred
Term
MED Attribute (Multi-Exit Discriminator)
Definition
Suggests to a neighboring AS which of multiple paths to select

Optional Nontransitive

Lowest Preferred
Term
Weight Attribute
Definition
Cisco Proprietary - Local Significance Only

Tells router which of multiple paths to choose to LEAVE the AS
Highest weight Preferred
Term
BGP Path Selection Criteria - list
Definition
1. Choose the route with the highest weight.
2. If weight is not set, choose the route with the highest local preference.
3. Choose routes that this router originated.
4. Choose the path with the shortest Autonomous System path.
5. Choose the path with the lowest origin code (i is lowest, e is next, ? is last).
6. Choose the route with the lowest MED, if the same Autonomous System advertises the possible routes.
7. Choose an EBGP route over an IBGP route.
8. Choose the route through the nearest IGP neighbor as determined by the lowest IGP metric.
9. Choose the oldest route
10. Choose a path through the neighbor with the lowest router ID.
11. Choose a path through the neighbor with the lowest IP address
Term
set default local preference; command
Definition
bgp default local-preference
Term
set default MED, command
Definition
R1(config-router)# default-metric
Term
Apply route-map 'MED' to all routes advertised to an EBGP neighbor.
Definition
neighbor 10.1.1.1 route-map MED out
Term
BGP Authentication using MD5
Definition
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} password password
Term
*
Definition
valid next hop
Term
s - suppressed
Definition
BGP knows about this route, but isn't advertising. Usually because it's a summarized route
Term
d - dampened
Definition
BGP can stop advertising a network flaps too often. dampened for a period of time
Term
h - history
Definition
BGP knows about this network but doesn't currently have a valid route to it.
Term
r - RIB failure
Definition
Route was advertised into BGP, but it wasn't installed into the routing table, possibly because another Routing Protocol had a better Admin Distance
Term
S - stale
Definition
Aged route - when peer is reestablished it should come back up with *
Term
>
Definition
indicates this route was selected for routing table
Term
i - 3rd column
Definition
learned from IBGP neighbor
Term
i - 10th (last) column
Definition
BGP learned about route from a network statement
Term
Displays routes that were not entered into routing table
Definition
show ip bgp rib-failure
Term
Displays the memory used by various BGP databases, BGP activity stats, and list of neighbors
Definition
show ip bgp summary
Term
Displays details about BGP neighbors
Definition
show ip bgp neighbors
if IP add is appended, can be followed by [received | routes | advertised] for more detailed information for a particular neighbor
