JN0-363 Exam Dumps : Service Provider Routing and Switching, Specialist (JNCIS-SP)

The AS path is a BGP attribute that lists the autonomous systems (AS) that routing information has passed through to get to a destination. It is used to detect and prevent routing loops by checking if the router's own AS number is in the path.

Neighbors Stuck in Exstart/Exchange State The problem occurs most frequently when you attempt to run OSPF between a Cisco router and another vendor router. The problem occurs when the maximum transmission unit (MTU) settings for neighboring router interfaces do not match. If the router with the higher MTU sends a packet larger that the MTU set on the neighboring router, the neighbor router ignores the packet. When this problem occurs, the output of the show ip ospf neighbor command displays output similar to what is shown in this figure.

A mismatched Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) setting on OSPF interfaces can cause routers to get stuck in the ExStart state. OSPF requires that both sides of a link have the same MTU to form a full adjacency.References:

Nonstop routing (NSR) requires both Graceful Routing Engine Switchover (GRES) and commit synchronization to be configured to maintain routing protocol and forwarding state during a Routing Engine switchover. NSR allows the secondary Routing Engine to take over the control plane without the protocols needing to restart, and GRES ensuresthat the forwarding plane continues operating with the current forwarding table. Commit synchronization ensures that configuration changes are synchronized between the primary and backup Routing Engines.
