Definition
Is a Path Vector Routing Protocol used to make
core routing desitions on the Internet.

Term

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.
