Q&A

As mentioned in the introduction, "All About the CCNP, CCDP, and CCIP Certifications," you have two choices for review questions. The questions that follow next give you a bigger challenge than the exam itself by using an open -ended question format. By reviewing now with this more difficult question format, you can exercise your memory better and prove your conceptual and factual knowledge of this chapter. The answers to these questions are found in Appendix A.

For more practice with examlike question formats, including questions using a router simulator and multichoice questions, use the exam engine on the CD-ROM.

1:	State two of the methods that Cisco recommends for controlling routing protocol traffic.
2:	What is the default administrative distance for RIP?
3:	State two instances when you do not want routing information propagated.
4:	In what instances will EIGRP automatically redistribute?
5:	Which command is used to view the administrative distance of a route in the routing table?
6:	When is redistribution required?
7:	Why does Cisco recommend that you not overlap routing protocols?
8:	Why would you want to prevent routing updates across an on-demand WAN link?
9:	What is the metric used for in a routing protocol?
10:	Give two reasons for using multiple routing protocols.
11:	In a very large environment, the various domains might have different requirements, making a single solution inefficient. A clear example is the case of a large multinational corporation, where EIGRP is the protocol used at the access and distribution layers , but BGP is the protocol connecting the core . When implementing redistribution, state one possible problem that you might experience, and explain why it is a problem.
12:	Which has a lower administrative distance, IGRP or OSPF?
13:	What command is used to configure an outbound route filter?
14:	What is a passive interface?
15:	What is the purpose of administrative distance?
16:	What is the concern of redistributing into a redundant network?
17:	What is a default network?
18:	Why is it necessary to configure a default metric when redistributing between routing protocols?
19:	Which command is used to modify the administrative distance of a route?
20:	What is the difference in processing for an inbound and an outbound route filter?
