Term
What is BGP?
Definition
Is a Path Vector Routing Protocol used to make core routing desitions on the Internet.
Term
What Protocol uses and AD?
Definition
IP TCP 179 and iBGP=20 eBGP=200
Term
What is the keepalive packet name and what's its timer
Definition
KeepAlive=60 Dead=3x ; Advertizement interval is 30 secs for eBGP and 0 secs for iBGP
Term
What is a ASN
Definition
Autonomous System Number
Term
How many ASN public and private?
Definition
Total= 65535 Private= 1024 Public= 64511
Term
Message Type?
Definition
Open
Update
Keepalive
Notification
Term
Types of Tables, Databases?
Definition
It keeps a few tables per neighboor
RIB
Adj-RIB-in and Adj-RIB-out
Term
Selection Criteria?
Definition
1- Weight: cisco specific paramenter, default 0
2- Local Preference: 100 by default. Create a route-map: set local-preference 100
3- Routes Originated Locally: network, aggregate or redistribute
4- Path with shortest AS path: Create a route-map: set as-path prepend AS AS AS AS
5- Lowest Origin Code: IGP, EGP, INCOMPLETE
6- Lowest MED: default 0. the value is shared outside the AS. Route-Map: set metric 100
7- eBGP over iBGP: Lower Administrative Distance 20<200
8- Route with nearest IGP neighbor (lowest IGP metric)
9- Oldest Route
10- Neighbor with lowest ID
11- Neighbor with lowest IP address
Term
Attributes?
Definition
Mandatory well-known attributes
Origin - Specifies the router's origin
IGP
EGP
Unknown - Route was redistributed
AS-Path - Sequence of autonomous system numbers through which the route is accessible
Next-Hop - IP address of the next-hop router

Discretionary well-known attributes
Local Preference - Used for consistent routing policy with an autonomous system
Atomic Aggregate - Informs the neighbor autonomous system that the originating router aggregated routes

Nontransitive attributes
Multiexit Discriminator - Used to discriminate between multiple entry point into an autonomous system

Transitive attributes
Aggregator - IP address and autonomous system of the router that performed aggregation Community - Used for route tagging
Term
What is a Route Reflector and why is required?
Definition
To act as a centralized point for iBGP speakers, to reduce the mesh. Creates a Cluster ID and adds adjacent clients.
Term
What is the syncronization rule?
Definition
If the Route is not in the IGP, do not advertize it thru BGP.
Term
When does it use the 0.0.0.0 Router ID?
Definition
When there's no interfaces with IP set up.
