OSPF Questions

April 24th, 2019 rstut 16 comments

Question 1

According to RFC 4577, OSPF for BGP/MPLS IP VPNs, when must the down bit be set?

A when an OSPF route is distributed from the PE to the CE, for Type 3 LSAs
B. when an OSPF route is distributed from the PE to the CE, for Type 5 LSAs
C. when an OSPF route is distributed from the PE to the CE, for Type 3 and Type 5 LSAs
D. when an OSPF route is distributed from the PE to the CE, for all types of LSAs

 

Answer: C

Explanation

If an OSPF route is advertised from a PE router into an OSPF area, the Down bit (DN) is set. Another PE router in the same area does not redistribute this route into iBGP of the MPLS VPN network if down is set.

OSPF_MPLS_VPN_Down_bit_set.jpg

The RFC 4577 says:

“When a type 3 LSA is sent from a PE router to a CE router, the DN bit in the LSA Options field MUST be set. This is used to ensure that if any CE router sends this type 3 LSA to a PE router, the PE router will not redistribute it further. When a PE router needs to distribute to a CE router a route that comes from a site outside the latter’s OSPF domain, the PE router presents itself as an ASBR (Autonomous System Border Router), and distributes the route in a type 5 LSA. The DN bit [OSPF-DN] MUST be set in these LSAs to ensure that they will be ignored by any other PE routers that receive them.”

For more information about Down bit according to RFC 4577 please read more here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4577#section-4.2.5.1.

Question 2

Refer to the exhibit.

OSPF_forwarding_address0.0.0.jpg

Which option explains why the forwarding address is set to 0.0.0.0 instead of 110.100.1.1?

A. The interface Ethernet0/1 is in down state.
B. The next-hop ip address 110.100.1.1 is not directly attached to the redistributing router.
C. The next-hop interface (Ethernet0/1) is specified as part of the static route command; therefore, the forwarding address is always set to 0.0.0.0.
D. OSPF is not enabled on the interface Ethernet0/1.

 

Answer: D

Explanation

From the output of the “show ip ospf database” command (although this command is not shown) we can conclude this is an ASBR (with Advertising Router is itself) and E0/1 is the ASBR’s next hop interface for other routers to reach network 192.168.10.0.

The Forwarding Address is determined by these conditions:
* The forwarding address is set to 0.0.0.0 if the ASBR redistributes routes and OSPF is not enabled on the next hop interface for those routes.

* These conditions set the forwarding address field to a non-zero address:
+ OSPF is enabled on the ASBR’s next hop interface AND
+ ASBR’s next hop interface is non-passive under OSPF AND
+ ASBR’s next hop interface is not point-to-point AND
+ ASBR’s next hop interface is not point-to-multipoint AND
+ ASBR’s next hop interface address falls under the network range specified in the router ospf command.

* Any other conditions besides these set the forwarding address to 0.0.0.0.

-> We can see E0/1 interface is not running OSPF because it does not belong to network 110.110.0.0 0.0.255.255 which is declared under OSPF process -> F.A address is set to 0.0.0.0.

Question 3

Refer to the exhibit.

router ospf 100
router-id 4.4.4.4
area 110 nssa
summary-address 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 nssa-only
redistribute static metric-type 1 subnets tag 704
network 110.110.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 110

This is the configuration of the ASBR of area 110. Which option explains why the remote ABR should not translate the type 7 LSA for the prefix 192.168.0.0/16 into a type 5 LSA?

A. The remote ABR translates all type 7 LSA into type 5 LSA, regardless of any option configured in the ASBR.
B. The ASBR sets the forwarding address to 0.0.0.0 which instructs the ABR not to translate the LSA into a type 5 LSA.
C. The ASBR originates a type 7 LSA with age equal to MAXAGE 3600.
D. The ABR clears the P bit in the header of the type 7 LSA for 192.168.0.0/16.

 

Answer: D

Explanation

When external routing information is imported into an NSSA, LSA Type 7 is generated by the ASBR and it is flooded within that area only. To further distribute the external information, type 7 LSA is translated into type 5 LSA at the NSSA border. The P-bit in LSA Type 7 field indicates whether the type 7 LSA should be translated. This P-bit is automatically set by the NSSA ABR (also the Forwarding Address (FA) is copied from Type 7 LSA). The P-bit is not set only when the NSSA ASBR and NSSA ABR are the same router for the area . If bit P = 0, then the NSSA ABR must not translate this LSA into Type 5.

OSPF_LSAs_Types_7.jpg

The nssa-only keyword instructs the device to instigate Type-7 LSA with cleared P-bit, thereby, preventing LSA translation to Type 5 on NSSA ABR device.

Note: If a router is attached to another AS and is also an NSSA ABR, it may originate a both a type-5 and a type-7 LSA for the same network. The type-5 LSA will be flooded to the backbone and the type-7 will be flooded into the NSSA. If this is the case, the P-bit must be reset (P=0) in the type-7 LSA so the type-7 LSA isn’t again translated into a type-5 LSA by another NSSA ABR.

Question 4

Which statement about OSPF multiaccess segments is true?

A. The designated router is elected first.
B. The designated and backup designated routers are elected at the same time.
C. The router that sent the first hello message is elected first.
D. The backup designated router is elected first.

 

Answer: D

Explanation

According to the RFC, the BDR is actually elected first, followed by the DR. The RFC explains why:

“The reason behind the election algorithm’s complexity is the desire for an orderly transition from Backup Designated Router to Designated Router, when the current Designated Router fails. This orderly transition is ensured through the introduction of hysteresis: no new Backup Designated Router can be chosen until the old Backup accepts its new Designated Router responsibilities.

The above procedure may elect the same router to be both Designated Router and Backup Designated Router, although that router will never be the calculating router (Router X) itself.”

(Reference: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2328.txt – [Page 76])

Question 5

Consider a network that mixes link bandwidths from 128 kb/s to 40 Gb/s. Which value should be set for the OSPF reference bandwidth?

A. Set a value of 128.
B. Set a value of 40000.
C. Set a manual OSPF cost on each interface
D. Use the default value.
E. Set a value of 40000000.
F. Set a value of 65535.

 

Answer: C

Question 6

Which statement about a type 4 LSA in OSPF is true?

A. It is an LSA that is originated by an ABR, that is flooded throughout the AS, and that describes a route to the ASBR.
B. It is an LSA that is originated by an ASBR, that is flooded throughout the AS, and that describes a route to the ASBR.
C. It is an LSA that is originated by an ASBR, that is flooded throughout the area, and that describes a route to the ASBR.
D. It is an LSA that is originated by an ABR, that is flooded throughout the AS, and that describes a route to the ABR.
E. It is an LSA that is originated by an ABR, that is flooded throughout the area, and that describes a route to the ASBR.

 

Answer: E

Explanation

LSA Type 4 (called Summary ASBR LSA) is generated by the ABR to describe an ASBR to routers in other areas so that routers in other areas know how to get to external routes through that ASBR.

OSPF_LSAs_Types_4.jpg

Question 7

Which two functions are performed by the DR in OSPF? (Choose two)

A. The DR originates the network LSA on behalf of the network.
B. The DR is responsible for the flooding throughout one OSPF area.
C. The DR forms adjacencies with all other OSPF routers on the network, in order to synchronize the LSDB across the adjacencies.
D. The DR is responsible for originating the type 4 LSAs into one area.

 

Answer: A C

Explanation

DR originates the network LSA (LSA Type 2) which lists all the routers on the segment it is adjacent to -> A is correct.

Types 2 are flooded within its area only; does not cross ABR -> B is incorrect.

The broadcast and non-broadcast network types elect a DR/BDR. They form adjacencies to all other OSPF routers on the network and help synchronize the Link State Database (LSDB) across the adjacencies -> C is correct.

LSAs Type 4 are originated by the ABR to describe an ASBR to routers in other areas so that routers in other areas know how to get to external routes through that ASBR -> D is incorrect.

Note: To learn more about OSPF LSA Types, please read our OSPF LSA Types Tutorial.

Answer: A

Question 10

Refer to the exhibit.

OSPF_Reference_Bandwidth.jpg

R3 prefers the path through R1 to reach host 10.1.1.1.

Which option describes the reason for this behavior?

A. The OSPF reference bandwidth is too small to account for the higher speed links through R2.
B. The default OSPF cost through R1 is less than the cost through R2.
C. The default OSPF cost through R1 is more than the cost through R2.
D. The link between R2 and R1 is congested.

 

Answer: A

Explanation

The default formula to calculate OSPF bandwidth is BW = Bandwidth Reference / interface bandwidth [bps] = 10^8 / / interface bandwidth [bps]
BW of the R1-R3 link = 10^8 / 100Mbps = 10^8 / 10^8 = 1
BW of the R2-R3 link = 10^8 / 1Gbps = 10^8 / 10^9 = 1 (round up)

Therefore OSPF considers the two above links have the same Bandwidth -> R3 will go to 10.1.1.1 via the R1-R3 link. The solution here is to increase the Bandwidth Reference to a higher value using the “auto-cost reference-bandwidth” command under OSPF router mode. For example:

Router(config)#router ospf 1
Router(config-router)#auto-cost reference-bandwidth 10000

This will increase the reference bandwidth to 10000 Mbps which increases the BW of the R2-R3 link to 10^10 / 10^8 = 100.

Question 11

Refer to the exhibit.

show_ip_route_OSPF_network_type_mismatch.jpg

Why is the prefix 1.1.1.1/32 not present in the routing table of R1?

A. There is a duplicate router ID
B. There is a subnet mask mismatch on Ethernet0/0
C. The router LSA has an invalid checksum
D. There is an OSPF network type mismatch that causes the advertising router to be unreachable

VLAN Trunking Questions

March 27th, 2019 rstut 21 comments

Question 1

Refer to the exhibit.

Switch1#show int fastEthernet0/1 switchport
Name: Fa0/1
Switchport: Enabled
Administrative Mode: dynamic auto
Operational Mode: static access
Administrative Trunking Encapsulation: dot1q
Operational Trunking Encapsulation: native
Negotiation of Trunking: On
Access Mode VLAN: 2 (VLAN0002)
Trunking Native Mode VLAN: 3 (VLAN0003)
Administrative Native VLAN tagging: enabled Voice VLAN: none
Administrative private-vlan host-association: none
Administrative private-vlan mapping: none
Administrative private-vlan trunk native VLAN: none
Administrative private-vlan trunk Native VLAN tagging: enabled
Administrative private-vlan trunk encapsulation: dot1q
Administrative private-vlan trunk normal VLANs: none
Administrative private-vlan trunk private VLANs: none
Operational private-vlan: none
Trunking VLANs Enabled: ALL
Pruning VLANs Enabled: 2-1001
Capture Mode Disabled
Capture VLANs Allowed: ALL

Protected: false
Unknown unicast blocked: disabled
Unknown multicast blocked: disabled
Appliance trust: none

If a port is configured as shown and receives an untagged frame, of which VLAN will the untagged frame be a member?

A. VLAN 1
B. VLAN 2
C. VLAN 3
D. VLAN 4

 

Answer: B

Explanation

When typing:

Switch(config-if)#switchport mode ?

access Set trunking mode to ACCESS unconditionally

dynamic Set trunking mode to dynamically negotiate access or trunk mode

trunk Set trunking mode to TRUNK unconditionally

 

and

 

Switch(config-if)#switchport mode dynamic ?

auto Set trunking mode dynamic negotiation parameter to AUTO

desirable Set trunking mode dynamic negotiation parameter to DESIRABLE

So if we configure Fa0/1 as dynamic auto mode, it will not initiate any negotitation but waiting for the other end negotiate to be a trunk with DTP. If the other end does not ask it to become a trunk then it will become an access port. Therefore when using the “show interface fastEthernet0/1 switchport” command we will see two output lines “Administrative Mode: dynamic auto” and “Operational Mode: static access

Note: To set this port to VLAN 2 as the output above just use one additional command: “switchport access vlan 2”.

Now back to our question, from the output we see that Fa0/1 is operating as an access port on VLAN 2 so if it receive untagged frame it will suppose that frame is coming from VLAN 2.

Question 2

Refer to the exhibit.

Switch1#show interfaces fastEthernet0/1 switchport
Name: Fa0/1
Switchport: Enabled
Administrative Mode: trunk
Operational Mode: trunk
Administrative Trunking Encapsulation: dot1q
Operational Trunking Encapsulation: dot1q

Access Mode VLAN: 1 (default)
Trunking Native Mode VLAN: 3 (VLAN0003)
Administrative Native VLAN tagging: enabled
Voice VLAN: none
Administrative private-vlan host-association: none

Capture Mode Disabled
Capture VLANs Allowed: ALL

Protected: false
Unknown unicast blocked: disabled
Unknown multicast blocked: disabled
Appliance trust: none

Which VLANs are permitted to send frames out port FastEthernet0/1?

A. 100-200
B. 4-100
C. 1 and 4-100
D. 3 and 4-100

 

Answer: D

Explanation

Traffic on the native vlan does not get tagged as it crosses a trunk, so there is no dot1q tag in the first place to be filtered. And you don’t need to allow the native vlan. But if we force to tag the native vlan (with the “switchport trunk native vlan tag” command) then if the native vlan is not in the “allowed vlan” list it will be dropped.

Private VLAN Questions

March 27th, 2019 rstut 14 comments

Question 1

Which two statements about private VLANs are true? (Choose two)

A. Only one isolated VLAN can be mapped to a primary VLAN.
B. Only one community VLAN can be mapped to a primary VLAN.
C. Multiple isolated VLANs can be mapped to a primary VLAN.
D. Multiple community VLANs can be mapped to a primary VLAN.

 

Answer: A D

Explanation

The main purpose of Private VLAN (PVLAN) is to provide the ability to isolate hosts at Layer 2 instead of Layer 3. As you know, a VLAN is a broadcast domain, by using PVLAN we are splitting that domain into some smaller broadcast domains. For example, without PVLAN, a service provider wants to increase security by isolating customers into separate domains so that they can’t access each other, they have to assign them into different VLANs and use different subnets. This can result in a waste of IP addresses and difficulty in VLAN management. Private VLANs (PVLANs) can solve this problem by allowing the isolation of devices at Layer 2 in the same subnet. PVLAN can be considered “VLANs inside VLAN”.
There are three types of ports in PVLAN:
* Isolated: only communicate with promiscuous ports. Notice that it cannot even communicate with another isolated port. Also, there can be only 1 isolated VLAN per PVLAN.
* Promiscuous: can communicate with all other ports. The default gateway is usually connected to this port so that all devices in PVLAN can go outside.
* Community: can communicate with other members of that community and promiscuous ports but cannot communicate with other communities. There can be multiple community VLANs per PVLAN.

PVLAN_Promiscuous_Community_Isolated.jpg

For example, in the topology above:
+ Host A cannot communicate with Host B, C, D, E and F. It can only communicate with Promiscuous port to the router. Notice that even two Isolated ports in the same VLAN cannot communicate with each other.
+ Host C can communicate with Host D because they are in the same community but Host C cannot communicate with E and F because they are in a different community.
+ All hosts can go outside through promiscuous port.
Also I want to mention about the concept of “primary VLAN” and “secondary VLAN”. PVLAN can have only one primary VLAN; all VLANs in a PVLAN domain share the same primary VLAN. Secondary VLANs are isolated or community VLANs.

Question 2

Refer to the exhibit.

C. It transitions to the blocking state, then the learning state, and then the forwarding state.
D. It transitions to the blocking state and then the forwarding state.

Question 1

What are the minimal configuration steps that are required to configure EIGRP HMAC-SHA2 authentication?

A. classic router mode, interface XX, authentication mode hmac-sha-256 B. named router mode, address-family statement, authentication mode hmac-sha-256 C. named router mode, address-family statement, af-interface default, authentication mode hmac- sha-256 D. named router mode, address-family statement, authentication mode hmac-sha-256

 

Answer: C

Explanation

The example below shows how to configure EIGRP HMAC-SHA2 on Cisco router:

Device(config)# router eigrp name1
Device(config-router)# address-family ipv4 autonomous-system 45000
Device(config-router-af)# af-interface ethernet 0/0
Device(config-router-af-interface)# authentication mode hmac-sha-256 0 password1
Device(config-router-af-interface)# end

Reference: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/iproute_eigrp/configuration/15-sy/ire-15-sy-book/ire-sha-256.html

Question 2

What are two reasons to define static peers in EIGRP? (Choose two)

A. Security requirements do not allow dynamic learning of neighbors.
B. The link between peers requires multicast packets.
C. Back-level peers require static definition for successful connection.
D. The link between peers requires unicast packets.

 

Answer: A D

Explanation

There are two ways we can create EIGRP neighbor relationship:
+ Use “network ” command: this is the more popular way to create EIGRP neighbor relationship. That router will check which interfaces whose IP addresses belong to the and turn EIGRP on that interface. EIGRP messages are sent via multicast packets.
+ Use “neighbor” command: The interface(s) that have this command applied no longer send or receive EIGRP multicast packets. EIGRP messages are sent via unicast. The router only accepts EIGRP packets from peers that are explicitly configured with a neighbor statement. Consequently, any messages coming from routers without a corresponding neighbor statement are discarded. This helps prevent the insertion of unauthorized routing peers -> A and D are correct.

Question 3

Which statement about the feasibility condition in EIGRP is true?

A. The prefix is reachable via an EIGRP peer that is in the routing domain of the router.
B. The EIGRP peer that advertises the prefix to the router has multiple paths to the destination.
C. The EIGRP peer that advertises the prefix to the router is closer to the destination than the router.
D. The EIGRP peer that advertises the prefix cannot be used as a next hop to reach the destination.

 

Answer: C

Explanation

The advertised metric from an EIGRP neighbor (peer) to the local router is called Advertised Distance (or reported distance) while the metric from the local router to that network is called Feasible Distance. For example, R1 advertises network 10.10.10.0/24 with a metric of 20 to R2. For R2, this is the advertised distance. R2 calculates the feasible distance by adding the metric from the advertised router (R1) to itself. So in this case the feasible distance to network 10.10.10.0/24 is 20 + 50 = 70.

EIGRP_feasible_condition.jpg

Before a router can be considered a feasible successor, it must pass the feasibility condition rule. In short, the feasibility condition says that if we learn about a prefix from a neighbor, the advertised distance from that neighbor to the destination must be lower than our feasible distance to that same destination.

Therefore we see the Advertised Distance always smaller than the Feasible Distance to satisfy the feasibility condition.

Question 4

How does EIGRP derive the metric for manual summary routes?

A. It uses the best composite metric of any component route in the topology table.
B. It uses the worst composite metric of any component route in the topology table.
C. It uses the best metric vectors of all component routes in the topology table.
D. It uses the worst metric vectors of all component routes in the topology table.

 

Answer: A

Explanation

For example if your router has a routing table like this:

D 192.168.8.0/24 [90/2632528] via 192.168.0.1, 00:00:12, Serial0/0
D 192.168.9.0/24 [90/2323456] via 192.168.0.1, 00:00:12, Serial0/0
D 192.168.10.0/24 [90/2195456] via 192.168.0.1, 00:00:12, Serial0/0
D 192.168.11.0/24 [90/2323456] via 192.168.0.1, 00:00:12, Serial0/0

Now suppose you want to manually summarize all the routes above, you can use this command (on the router that advertised these routes to our router):

Router(config-if)#ip summary-address eigrp 1 192.168.8.0 255.255.248.0

After that the routing table of your router will look like this:

D 192.168.8.0/21 [90/2195456] via 192.168.0.1, 00:01:42, Serial0/0

And we can see the manual summary route takes the smallest metric of the specific routes.

Question 5

Refer to the exhibit.

You have configured two routing protocols across this point-to-point link. How many BFD sessions will be established across this link?

A. three per interface
B. one per multicast address
C. one per routing protocol
D. one per interface

 

Answer: D

Explanation

Cisco devices will use one Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) session for multiple client protocols in the Cisco implementation of BFD for Cisco IOS Releases 12.2(18)SXE, 12.0(31)S, and 12.4(4)T. For example, if a network is running OSPF and EIGRP across the same link to the same peer, only one BFD session will be established, and BFD will share session information with both routing protocols.

Question 6

Which two configuration changes should be made on the OTP interface of an EIGRP OTP route reflector? (Choose two)

A. passive-interface
B. no split-horizon
C. no next-hop-self
D. hello-interval 60, hold-time 180

 

Answer: B C

Explanation

The EIGRP Over the Top feature enables a single end-to-end Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) routing domain that is transparent to the underlying public or private WAN transport that is used for connecting disparate EIGRP customer sites. When an enterprise extends its connectivity across multiple sites through a private or a public WAN connection, the service provider mandates that the enterprise use an additional routing protocol, typically the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), over the WAN links to ensure end-to-end routing. The use of an additional protocol causes additional complexities for the enterprise, such as additional routing processes and sustained interaction between EIGRP and the routing protocol to ensure connectivity, for the enterprise. With the EIGRP Over the Top feature, routing is consolidated into a single protocol (EIGRP) across the WAN.

Perform this task to configure a customer edge (CE) device in a network to function as an EIGRP Route Reflector:

1. enable
2. configure terminal
3. router eigrp virtual-name
4. address-family ipv4 unicast autonomous-system as-number
5. af-interface interface-type interface-number
6. no next-hop-self
7. no split-horizon
8. exit
9. remote-neighbors source interface-type interface-number unicast-listen lisp-encap
10. network ip-address
11. end

Note: Use no next-hop-self to instructs EIGRP to use the received next hop and not the local outbound interface address as the next hop to be advertised to neighboring devices. If no next-hop-self is not configured, the data traffic will flow through the EIGRP Route Reflector.

Question 7

What is the purpose of EIGRP summary leaking?

A. to allow a summary to be advertised conditionally on specific criteria
B. to allow a component of a summary to be advertised in addition to the summary
C. to allow oveR1apping summaries to exist on a single interface
D. to modify the metric of the summary based on which components of the summary are operational

 

Answer: B

Explanation

When you do manual summarization, and still you want to advertise some specific routes to the neighbor, you can do that using leak-map. Please read more about leaking routes here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/iproute_eigrp/command/reference/ire_book/ire_i1.html#wp1037685.

Question 8

Which statement about the function of poison reverse in EIGRP is true?

A. It tells peers to remove paths that previously might have pointed to this router.
B. It tells peers to remove paths to save memory and bandwidth.
C. It provides reverse path information for multicast routing.
D. It tells peers that a prefix is no longer reachable.

 

Answer: A

Explanation

Poison Reverse in EIGRP states: “Once you learn of a route through an interface, advertise it as unreachable back through that same interface”. For more information please read here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/enhanced-interior-gateway-routing-protocol-eigrp/16406-eigrp-toc.html#splithorizon.

Question 9

What is the preferred method to improve neighbor loss detection in EIGRP?

A. EIGRP natively detects neighbor down immediately, and no additional feature or configuration is required.
B. BFD should be used on interfaces that support it for rapid neighbor loss detection.
C. Fast hellos (subsecond) are preferred for EIGRP, so that it learns rapidly through its own mechanisms.
D. Fast hellos (one-second hellos) are preferred for EIGRP, so that it learns rapidly through its own mechanisms.

 

Answer: B

Question 10

Which two statements about the function of the stub feature in EIGRP are true? (Choose two)

A. It stops the stub router from sending queries to peers.
B. It stops the hub router from sending queries to the stub router.
C. It stops the stub router from propagating dynamically learned EIGRP prefixes to the hub routers.
D. It stops the hub router from propagating dynamically learned EIGRP prefixes to the stub routers.

EIGRP Questions 2

March 27th, 2019 rstut 4 comments

Question 1

What is the function of an EIGRP sequence TLV packet?

A. to acknowledge a set of sequence numbers during the startup update process
B. to list the peers that should listen to the next multicast packet during the reliable multicast process
C. to list the peers that should not listen to the next multicast packet during the reliable multicast process
D. to define the initial sequence number when bringing up a new peer

 

Answer: C

Explanation

EIGRP sends updates and other information between routers using multicast packets to 224.0.0.10. For example in the topology below, R1 made a change in the topology and it needs to send updates to R2 & R3. It sends multicast packets to EIGRP multicast address 224.0.0.10. Both R2 & R3 can receive the updates and acknowledge back to R1 using unicast. Simple, right?

EIGRP_Sequence_TLV.jpg

But what if R1 sends out updates, only R2 replies but R3 never does? In the case a router sends out a multicast packet that must be reliable delivered (like in this case), an EIGRP process will wait until the RTO (retransmission timeout) period has passed before beginning a recovery action. This period is calculated from the SRTT (smooth round-trip time). After R1 sends out updates it will wait for this period to expire. Then it makes a list of all the neighbors from which it did not receive an Acknowledgement (ACK). Next it sends out a packet telling these routers stop listening to multicast until they are been notified that it is safe again. Finally the router will begin sending unicast packets with the information to the routers that didn’t answer, continuing until they are caught up. In our example the process will be like this:

1. R1 sends out updates to 224.0.0.10
2. R2 responds but R3 does not
3. R1 waits for the RTO period to expire
4. R1 then sends out an unreliable-multicast packet, called a sequence TLV (Type-Length-Value) packet, which tells R3 not to listen to multicast packets any more
5. R1 continues sending any other muticast traffic it has and delivering all traffic, using unicast to R3, until it acknowledges all the packets
6. Once R3 has caught up, R1 will send another sequence TLV, telling R3 to begin listening to multicast again.

The sequence TLV packet contains a list of the nodes that should not listen to multicast packets while the recovery takes place. But notice that the TLV packet in step 6 does not contain any nodes in the list.

Note: In the case R3 still does not reply in step 4, R1 will attempt to retransmit the unicast 16 times or continue to retransmit until the hold time for the neighbor in question expires. After this time, R1 will declare a retransmission limit exceeded error and will reset the neighbor.

Question 2

EIGRP allows configuration of multiple MD5 keys for packet authentication to support easy rollover from an old key to a new key. Which two statements are true regarding the usage of multiple authentication keys? (Choose two)

A. Received packets are authenticated by the key with the smallest key ID.
B. Sent packets are authenticated by all valid keys, which means that each packet is replicated as many times as the number of existing valid keys.
C. Received packets are authenticated by any valid key that is chosen.
D. Sent packets are authenticated by the key with the smallest key ID.

 

Answer: C D

Explanation

Suppose two routers are connected with each other via Fa0/0 interfaces and they are configured to authenticate via MD5. Below is a simple configuration on both routers so that they will work:

Router1(config)#key chain KeyChainR1
Router1(config-keychain)#key 1
Router1(config-keychain-key)#key-string FirstKey
Router1(config-keychain-key)#key 2
Router1(config-keychain-key)#key-string SecondKey

Router2(config)#key chain KeyChainR2
Router2(config-keychain)#key 1
Router2(config-keychain-key)#key-string FirstKey
Router2(config-keychain-key)#key 2
Router2(config-keychain-key)#key-string SecondKey

Apply these key chains to R1 & R2:

Router1(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/0
Router1(config-if)#ip authentication mode eigrp 1 md5
Router1(config-if)#ip authentication key-chain eigrp 1 KeyChainR1

Router2(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/0
Router2(config-if)#ip authentication mode eigrp 1 md5
Router2(config-if)#ip authentication key-chain eigrp 1 KeyChainR2

There are some rules to configure MD5 authentication with EIGRP:

+ The key chain names on two routers do not have to match (in this case the name “KeyChainR1” & “KeyChainR2” do not match)
+ The key number and key-string on the two potential neighbors must match (for example “key 1” & “key-string FirstKey” must match on “key 1” & “key-string FirstKey” of neighboring router)

Also some facts about MD5 authentication with EIGRP
+ When sending EIGRP messages the lowest valid key number is used -> D is correct.
+ When receving EIGRP messages all currently configured valid keys are verified but the lowest valid one will be used -> Although answer C does not totally mention like that but it is the most suitable answer because A and B are totally wrong.

Answer A is not correct because we need valid key to authenticate.

As mentioned above, although answer C is not totally correct but it puts some light on why answer B is not correct: each packet is NOT “replicated as many times as the number of existing valid keys”. All currently configured valid keys are verified but the lowest valid one will be used.

Note: There are some books saying that the key numbers DO NOT have to match but if you have time please do a lab to verify that both key numbers and key-strings must match.

How many EIGRP routes will appear in the routing table of R2?

A. 0
B. 1
C. 2
D. 3

 

Answer: A

Explanation

EIGRPv6 on R2 was shut down so there is no EIGRP routes on the routing table of R2. If we turn on EIGRPv6 on R2 (with “no shutdown” command) then we would see the prefix of the loopback interface of R1 in the routing table of R2.

Note: EIGRPv6 requires the “ipv6 unicast-routing” global command to be turned on first or it will not work.

Question 4

In which type of EIGRP configuration is EIGRP IPv6 VRF-Lite available?

A. stub
B. named mode
C. classic mode
D. passive

 

Answer: B

Explanation

The EIGRP IPv6 VRF Lite feature provides EIGRP IPv6 support for multiple VRFs. EIGRP for IPv6 can operate in the context of a VRF. The EIGRP IPv6 VRF Lite feature provides separation between routing and forwarding, providing an additional level of security because no communication between devices belonging to different VRFs is allowed unless it is explicitly configured. The EIGRP IPv6 VRF Lite feature simplifies the management and troubleshooting of traffic belonging to a specific VRF.

The EIGRP IPv6 VRF Lite feature is available only in EIGRP named configurations.

AS #1 and AS #2 have multiple EBGP connections with each other. AS #1 wants all return traffic that is destined to the prefix 10.10.10.1/32 to enter through the router R1 from AS #2. In order to achieve this routing policy, the AS#1 advertises a lower MED from R1, compared to a higher MED from R3, to their respective BGP neighbor for the prefix 10.10.10.0/24. Will this measure guarantee that the routing policy is always in effect?

A. Yes, because MED plays a deterministic role in return traffic engineering in BGP.
B. Yes, because a lower MED forces BGP best-path route selection in AS #2 to choose R1 as the best path for 10.10.10.0/24.
C. Yes, because a lower MED in AS #2 is the highest BGP attribute in BGP best-path route selection.
D. No, AS #2 can choose to alter the weight attribute in R2 for BGP neighbor R1, and this weight value is cascaded across AS #2 for BGP best-path route selection.
E. No, AS #2 can choose to alter the local preference attribute to overwrite the best-path route selection over the lower MED advertisement from AS #1. This local preference attribute is cascaded across AS #2 for the BGP best-path route selection.

 

Answer: E

Question 7

Refer to the exhibit. All iBGP routes should have the iBGP peer as the next hop address. Why is this not the case for BGP routes learned between R1 and R2?

IBGP_next_hop_self.jpg

IBGP_next_hop_self_show_ip_bgp_summary.jpg

A. R2 is missing the next-hop-self option under the neighbor command for R1
B. ISP-A is missing the next-hop-self option under the neighbor command for R1
C. ISP-B is missing the next-hop-self option under the neighbor command for R1
D. R2, ISP-A, and ISP-B are missing the next-hop-self option under the neighbor command for R1

 

Answer: A

Explanation

In this case networks 10.0.0.0, 172.17.0.0, 172.18.0.0, 192.168.60.0, 192.168.70.0 are networks learned and advertised from R2. We see that the next-hop of these networks are 209.165.202.158 while they should be 209.165.202.130. With the next-hop of 209.165.202.158, R1 may not know how to send traffic to above networks and the traffic is dropped. To avoid this failure we should configure the ‘next-hop-self’ under the neighbor command for R1 like this:
R2(config-router)#neighbor 209.165.202.129 next-hop-self

Question 8

Refer to the exhibit. By default, why will BGP choose a locally originated route over any iBGP or eBGP learned route?

show_ip_bgp_locally_originated.jpg

A. The IGP metric to the next hop is always shorter.
B. Locally originated routes have a better AD than eBGP or iBGP routes.
C. All locally originated routes have a better origin code.
D. Locally originated routes have a higher metric.
E. Locally originated routes have a weight of 32,768.

 

Answer: E

Question 9

Refer to the exhibit. The next hops are learned via OSPF and IS-IS. Which path is selected as the best path for 10.168.0.1?

BGP_IGP_metric.jpg

A. path 1, because it is an MPLS labeled path
B. path 1, because the next hop is learned via OSPF with an AD of 110, compared to 115 for IS-IS
C. path 2, because it has the highest router ID
D. path 2, because it has the lowest IGP metric

 

Answer: D

Question 10

match ip address prefix-list EXT
!
ip prefix-list ADV permit 172.16.0.0/24
!
ip prefix-list EXT permit 10.10.10.10/32

A. Option A
B. Option B
C. Option C
D. Option D

 

Answer: B

Explanation

Advertise maps are used for conditional routing to advertise specified prefixes if something which is specified in exist map exists. In our question we need to advertise 172.16.0.0/24 if 10.10.10.10/32 exists in the routing table so we have to use command: “neighbor x.x.x.x advertise-map <prefix-list of 172.16.0.0/24> exist-map <prefix-list of 10.10.10.10/32>”. Therefore B is correct.

DHCP Questions

March 27th, 2019 rstut 1 comment

Question 1

What is a reason to use DHCPv6 on a network that uses SLAAC?

A. to get a record of the IPs that are used by the clients
B. to push DNS and other information to the clients
C. no reason, because there is no need for DHCPv6 when using SLAAC
D. because DHCPv6 can be used only in stateful mode with SLAAC to record the IPs of the clients
E. because DHCPv6 can be used only in stateless mode with SLAAC to record the IPs of the clients
F. because DHCPv6 is required to use first-hop security features on the switches

 

Answer: B

Explanation

SLAAC is by far the easiest way to configure IPv6 addresses, simply because you don’t have to configure any IPv6 address. With SLAAC, a host uses the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) to determine its IP address and default routers. Using SLAAC, a host requests and listens for Router Advertisements (RA) messages, and then taking the prefix that is advertised to form a unique address that can be used on the network. For this to work, the prefix that is advertised must advertise a prefix length of 64 bits (i.e., /64). But the most significant of Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) is it provided no mechanism for configuring DNS resolver information.

Therefore SLACC can be used along with DHCPv6 (Stateless) to push DNS and other information to the clients.

Which two corrective actions could you take if EIGRP routes from R2 fail to reach R1? (Choose two)

A. Configure R2 to use a VRF to send routes to R1.
B. Configure the autonomous system in the EIGRP configuration of R1.
C. Correct the network statement on R2.
D. Add the interface on R1 that is connected to R2 into a VRF.

 

Answer: B D

Explanation

In this question we are running VRF Lite on R1. VRF Lite is also knows as “VRF without running MPLS”. This is an example of how to configure VRF Lite with EIGRP:

ip vrf FIRST
rd 1:1
!
ip vrf SECOND
rd 1:2
!
router eigrp 1
no auto-summary
!
address-family ipv4 vrf FIRST
network 10.1.1.1 0.0.0.0
no auto-summary
autonomous-system 200
exit-address-family
!
address-family ipv4 vrf SECOND
network 10.1.2.1 0.0.0.0
no auto-summary
autonomous-system 100
exit-address-family
!
interface FastEthernet0/0
ip vrf forwarding FIRST
ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface FastEthernet0/1
ip vrf forwarding SECOND
ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0

The above example creates two VRFs (named “FIRST” and “SECOND”). VRF “FIRST” runs on EIGRP AS 200 while VRF “SECOND” runs on EIGRP AS 100. After that we have to add interfaces to the appropriate VRFs. From this example, back to our question we can see that R1 is missing the “autonomous-system …” command under “address-family ipv4 vrf R2”. And R1 needs an interface configured under that VRF.

Note: R2 does not run VRF at all! Usually R2 resides on customer side.

VPN_route-target_import_export.jpg

Which two statements about the VPN solution are true? (Choose two)

A. Customer A and customer B will exchange routes with each other.
B. R3 will advertise routes received from R1 to R2.
C. Customer C will communicate with customer A and B.
D. Communication between sites in VPN1 and VPN2 will be blocked.
E. R1 and R2 will receive VPN routes advertised by R3.

 

Answer: C E (and D ?)

Explanation

+ VPN1 exports 10:1 while VPN3 imports 10:1 so VPN3 can learn routes of VPN1.
+ VNP1 imports 10:1 while VNP3 export 10:1 so VNP1 can learn routes of VPN3.
-> Customer A can communicate with Customer C

+ VPN2 exports 20:1 while VPN3 imports 20:1 so VPN3 can learn routes of VPN2.
+ VPN2 imports 20:1 while VPN3 exports 20:1 so VPN2 can learn routes of VPN3.
-> Customer B can communicate with Customer C

Therefore answer C is correct.

Also answer E is correct because R1 & R2 import R3 routes.

Answer A is not correct because Customer A & Customer B do not import routes which are exported by other router. Customer A & B can only see Customer C.

Answer B is not correct because a router never exports what it has learned through importation. It only exports its own routes.

Answer D is correct because two VPN1 and VPN2 cannot see each other. Maybe in this question there are three correct answers.

Some service providers have a very large number of routing updates being sent from RRs to PEs, using considerable resources. A PE does not need routing updates for VRFs that are not on the PE; therefore, the PE determines that many routing updates it receives are “unwanted.” The PE can filter out the unwanted updates using Route Target Constraint.

For more information please read http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/ios_xe/iproute_bgp/configuration/guide/2_xe/irg_xe_book/irg_rt_filter_xe.html.

Question 8

Drag and drop the events on the left to display the correct sequence on the right when CoPP is enabled.

CoPP_enabled.jpg

 

Answer:

1: A packet enters the switch that is configured with CoPP on the egress port
2: The port performs any applicable input port and QoS services.
3: The packet gets forwarded to the switch CPU
4: The switch makes a routing or a switching decision, which determines whether or not the packet is destined for the control plane
5: Packets that are destined for the control plane are processed by CoPP and are dropped or delivered to the control plane according to each traffic class policy. Packets that have other destinations are forwarded normally

Question 9

Drag and drop the QoS requirement on the left to the correct QoS technology on the right.

Question 1

Which two statements are true about OTV? (Choose two)

A. It relies on flooding to propagate MAC address reachability information.
B. It uses a full mesh of point-to-multipoint tunnels to prevent head-end replication of multicast traffic.
C. It can work over any transport that can forward IP packets.
D. It supports automatic detection of multihoming.

 

Answer: C D

Question 2

What is a cause for unicast flooding?

A. Unicast flooding occurs when multicast traffic arrives on a Layer 2 switch that has directly connected multicast receivers.
B. When PIM snooping is not enabled, unicast flooding occurs on the switch that interconnects the PIM-enabled routers.
C. A man-in-the-middle attack can cause the ARP cache of an end host to have the wrong MAC address. Instead of having the MAC address of the default gateway, it has a MAC address of the man-in-the-middle. This causes all traffic to be unicast flooded through the man-in-the-middle, which can then sniff all packets.
D. Forwarding table overflow prevents new MAC addresses from being learned, and packets destined to those MAC addresses are flooded until space becomes available in the forwarding table.

 

Answer: D

Question 3
