CCNP ROUTE Practice Exam:

More BGP!

 

We all know that BGP is one of the most challenging topics on your CCNP ROUTE exam ...

... and to help you be ready for success on your big day, here's a practice exam on BGP attributes and path selection!

Take my free CCNP ROUTE Video Boot Camp on multiarea OSPF and route redistribution when you're done with this exam!

Let's get started!

 

Question 1:

You're performing BGP route summarization with the aggregate-address command. You have specified no options with that command. What routes will you see on downstream routers receiving that aggregate?

A. Classful updates only

B. Classless updates only

C. The summary route and the routes that were summarized

D. The summary route only

E. The routes that were summarized only

 

Question 2:

In the BGP path selection process, if the weight and the local preference are the same for two paths, what is the next deciding factor?

A. Route originated by local router

B. AS PATH (longest)

C. AS PATH (shortest)

D. Origin Code (longest)

E. Origin Code (shortest)

 

Question 3:

You note that some of your BGP routes have a next-hop address of 0.0.0.0. What does this mean?

A. The routes are being calculated and cannot be used at present.

B. Your BGP database is corrupt.

C. The network was originated by the local router.

D. The route was learned via an iBGP neighbor

E. The network was discovered via route redistribution

 

Question 4:

What BGP routing code indicates a route learned via redistribution?

 

 

Question 5:

We always have to be concerned with routing loops, and BGP is no exception. Which of the following BGP attributes is specifically designed to prevent these loops?

A. AS PATH

B. weight

C. MED

D. aggregate

E. local pref

F. confederation

And now.. the answers!

1. Watch this one - there's a big difference between an IGP summary and a BGP summary.

With BGP, both the summary route and the routes that were summarized will be advertised with the aggregate-address command. To advertise only the summary, use the summary-only option with that command.

 

2. (A). In the BGP path selection process, the 3rd factor is the preference of a locally originated route.

 

3. (C, E). A BGP next-hop address of 0.0.0.0 can indicate a locally originated route, and it can also indicate a route learned via route redistribution.

 

4. A question mark for a BGP origin code indicates a route that was learned via route redistribution.

 

5. (A). The BGP attribute AS_PATH is specifically designed to prevent routing loops. If a BGP-speaking router received an update with its own AS number in the path, that router knows there's a loop!
