Ouah…
What a good idea to post this update, I’m going to take the exam on Tuesday. This a good refernce to take into account.
Good !
Thank you.
I would add about this:
Connecting Area 0s in OSPF
Option 3
redistribution between different OSPF processes on the same router
EIGRP
Do Not Accept Prefixes – EIGRP
>Option 2 – distribute-list – can reference route-maps as well, but set operations not allowed.
Set operation is only allowed when referenced in re-distribution.
Here is my test:
Rack1R2(config-router)#do sh ip ro ei
D 204.12.1.0/24 [90/2195456] via 183.1.23.3, 05:28:40, Serial1/1
Rack1R2(config-router)#access-l 24 per 204.12.1.0 0.0.0.255
Rack1R2(config)#route-map TEST
Rack1R2(config-route-map)#match ip add 24
Rack1R2(config-route-map)#set met 1 1 1 1 1
Rack1R2(config-route-map)#router ei 1
Rack1R2(config-router)#distribute-list route-map TEST in s1/1
Rack1R2(config-router)#
*Mar 1 05:48:47.406: %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP(0) 1: Neighbor 183.1.23.3 (Serial1/1) is resync: route configuration changed
Rack1R2(config-router)#do sh ip ro ei
D 204.12.1.0/24 [90/2560000256] via 183.1.23.3, 00:00:20, Serial1/1
as you can see the metric for BB3′s segment has raised due to the ‘set’ operand in route-map.
Option 4
Rack1R2(config-router)#metric maximum-hops ?
Hop count
as a measure to constrain network diameter and filter ‘remote’ networks.
RIP
Do Not Accept Prefixes – RIP
Option 4
Version mismatch, i.e. sending 2 and receiving 1 and vice-versa
BGP
BGP Traffic Flows
Manipulate outbound traffic flows
Option 3 – Next-hop’s IGP metric manipulation
BGP Traffic Flows
Manipulate inbound traffic flows
Option 3 – ORIGIN manipulation
Option 4 – Router-ID manipulation
Device in Transit Path Not Running BGP
Option 3 … MPLS
Thanks – your updates were integrated.
Thanks for this.
This is quite useful as it allows me to know whcih of the options I might be leaving out for each of the sections in my preparation.
Please expand on this as it is a good reference guide !!
this is quite a collection….like that..
Keep up the good work guys…
Hi,
Many thanks for the above config tips.
From myside please add the Redistribution Rules.
Redistribution from Lower to Higher admin distance is no problem.
From Higher to Lower admin distance is a problem in route selection.
Stuff like this should be posted on a wiki
Thanks a lot,
It would be nice to have some more throughts about why/where to select a a particular options. or illustrating these decision making in a MindMap way.
I have a feeling that this article/thread gonna become a very valuable and popular one.
Hi,
WIll you like to add ways to fix BGP synchronization issues. A situation that arises when a transit router is not running BGP.
3 ways to fix this (AFAIK) are;
- Run BGP on transit
- Create tunnels between BGP speakers
- Redistribute BGP into IGP
Hi Sesano!
I have that one in the BGP section already called Device in Transit Path Not Running BGP.
I do not have Run BGP on transit because typically you CANNOT do this and pass the task. Cisco does not have you run BGP there to see if you can arrive at the solution.
Thanks so much for your contributions to our site!
Thanks,
I have one rather simple (or silly question here).
When asked to enable logging to syslog server,
What is the difference between the 2 command below in enabling this on a router
- logging
- logging host
Also, when asked to rate limit traffic with police command in an MQC, what is the difference between the following 3 options
- police rate
- police cir
- police
Please help me clear these things in my head !
Sesano
Please direct these questions to our forum at ieoc.com. Thanks!
Here is a great thread on the policing forms and I do not believe there is any difference on logging versus logging host.

Again, for follow up questions you might have – direct them to our forum.
Cheers!
You are superb..
This is very useful information…….
Thank you for your all efforts in putting this togather.
Hi,
Consolidating knowledge in one organized structure is an excelent idea!
Many thanks.
[...] Cost versus Port Priority – Seems pretty simple, right? Then I cross-referenced it with the R/S 3.0 Configuration Options - where Port Priority shows up under [...]
Really wonderfull
Under QOS – rate limiting a single host, you can add “storm-control unicast” as a possible (albeit unclean) way to rate limit a host on a switch.
Rack13SW1(config-if)#storm-control unicast level ?
Enter rising threshold
bps Enter suppression level in bits per second
pps Enter suppression level in packets per second
I like it – added.
Hi,
Route failures caused by multiple mutual redistribution points…
1) Route tagging (doesn’t provide redundancy)
2) Adjusting administrative distance
3) Distribute-list filtering
Hello again,
Thought of another for multiple redistribution.
4) Adjusting metrics or metric types
Of course the methods that can be used are limited based on whether the route issue is caused by admin distance or improper metrics.
