Q:

What are the purposes of areas in an OSPF network?

Answer

Areas allow the design of a hierarchical network. Routes can be summarized or blocked in an area to reduce the amount of routing information on internal OSPF routers.

Q:

Why is BGP a better choice for Internet routing than the IGPs?

Answer

RIP version 1 and IGRP are classful protocols and do not advertise subnet mask information. RIP version 2 has a limited network diameter of 15 hops. EIGRP, OSPF, and IS-IS use computational intensive algorithms for determining a shortest path. BGP relies on simple techniques for best path selection and loop detection, and can handle the number of network prefixes required for Internet routing.

Q:

Explain the difference between the forwarding of a unicast IP packet and the forwarding of a multicast IP packet.

Answer

Unicast IP packets are forwarded based on the destination IP address. Multicast packets are forward based on the source IP address. If a multicast packet is received on the interface used to send a unicast packet back to the source, the multicast packet is forwarded to multicast neighbors. If the multicast packet is received on an interface that would not be used to send a unicast IP packet back to the source, the packet is discarded.

Q:

What is the first thing that BGP checks to determine if a prefix is accessible?

Q:

What is the purpose of the AS_PATH attribute?

Answer

If a router has more than one route to the same IP prefix, the best path is the one with the shortest AS_PATH (assuming other BGP attributes are equal).

Q:

What is the difference between the types of routes allowed by default into IS-IS and OSPF areas?

Answer

By default, all routes are advertised into all OSPF areas. This includes interarea OSPF routes and external routes that have been injected into OSPF. By default, IS-IS does not advertise interarea or external routes into an area, but injects a default route.

Q:

Assume a router has a loopback address of 135.77.9.254. Convert the loopback address to an IS-IS system ID.

Answer

The loopback address written in dotted decimal and using three digits for each byte has a value of 135.077.009.254. The system ID is 13.50.77.00.92.54.
