Answers:
1. The BGP origin codes:
i -- IGP
e -- EGP
? -- "incomplete"
2. C. That describes a route reflector.
3. A, C, D. It's generally considered safe to turn BGP off in the following situations:
The AS is not a transit area
All routers in the AS are running BGP
A physical full mesh exists
4. A, C. Routers are considered to be iBGP neighbors if they're in the same AS (that's the "internal" part), and as a rule a BGP speaker will not advertise a route to an iBGP neighbor if it was originally learned about from another iBGP neighbor.
5. D. Unlike some other route summarization you may have performed with EIGRP, RIP, or OSPF, the default here is to advertise both the summary route and the routes being summarized.
To advertise only the summary route, use the summary-only option with this command.
