CCNA Recap: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)


Singled Homed Exterior Border Gateway Protocol

  • show ip bgp summary
  • show ip bgp
  • show ip bgp neighbors



BGP
  • distance vector
    • advertises all or a portion of its route table to its neighbors.
    • Route exchange
      • internal
        • discovers connectivity among a set of IP subnets
          • RIP
          • IGRP
          • OSPF
          • EIGRP
      • external
      • Route updates contain AS path, network, attributes
        • network statement advertises network dynamically, statically, or through redistribution.
        • attributes inluence best path selection.
        • Autonomous systems define boundaries.
          • They’re a collection of routers under common administrative control w/ a common policy displayed to the world. Tells other routers in other ASes what is has with advertising. Listens to reachability.
  • VLSM support
  • Classless
  • Summarizes any BGP router
    • improves scalability
  • Various metrics
  • No hierarchy
    • traffic between diff. BGP ASes can take different paths.
  • Autonomous building blocks
  • TCP port 179
  • Neighbors are specifically configured
    • Only exchanges routes with neighbors
    • Neighbors can be in the same AS (internal BGP) or not (external BGP)
      • You have to make sure they know they’re neighbors internally.
  • synch. database for initial update
    • incremental updates
  • 60 sec. Hello
  • 180 Hold

  • Route reflectors
  • Unicast traffic

Customer network ————— [          you           ] ———— ISP
  you need
* AS numbers
yours, remotes, must be different
* neighbors involved
* networks that should be advertised.
1, Define BGP
config t
router bgp [AS #, 1  - 65535]

2, establish neighbor relationships
neighbor x.x.x.x remote-as [AS #]

3, advertise
network x.x.x.x mask c.c.c.c

Making KPI Dashboards with PowerBI

 While this is the free tier, I cannot share or collaborate with others, nor can I publish content to other people's workspaces, but they will not stop me from screenshooting and recording these self-taught adventures,so! I'm doing this because I idly searched "Mattel careers" and "Information Technology", and seeing a bulletpoint saying the following: Analytical and reporting skills such as creating dashboards and establishing KPIs such as experience with PowerBI, Cognos, Tableau, and Google Data Lake/AWS is preferred And thought "Well, I've used Tableau, and I've heard about PowerBI,  even if its in-demandness is questionable , so how similar is it? And can I write about it?"  First, PowerBI (PIB) does have a downloadable, local version, but apparently Windows-only. I could download the .exe but I couldn't run it / drag it to applications on my MacBook.  Not a problem, we'll use the online SaaS version, and a dataset found here, ...

A 2-week Trial of T-Mobile Home Internet

     The Xfinity app showed usage of the past 3 months: We used less than 40% each month, for about $80 USD a month.   No thanks! That cuts into the movie budget! Before we save some money (about $15/mo), let's test how T-Mobile Internet unlimited data works for 2 weeks.    There are 15 devices for this test; Smart TVs: 4 Laptops: 4 Printer: 1 Smart Home Speakers: 3 Game Consoles: 1 Phones: 1 (There are other phones in the home but they stick with data) Other: 1 Total : 15  I made tables for 3 entries a day across 3 days to test the Xfinity service we have. Here's one;   Xfinity is pretty speedy - Download times are between 227 - 236 Mbps, Latency between 24.5 - 25.5, Jitter between 5 - 6.68, and 0 packet loss.  Let's quickly define the terms in the table;    Date/Time - The date and time of the data gathered. Download (Mpbs) - How fast your network gets data. Upload (Mbps) - How fast your network uploads data. Latency ...

Recon and SSID - Mapping With VisiWave Site Survey

My laptop is refurbished. I've written about how there are a few ... quirks. Being a technology professional, I felt okay with adopting an older machine, knowing I had the skill to fix moderate issues. From dying drivers to monitor massacres, I've ID'd, solved, and documented a lot of issues.  The newest one was my Wi-Fi adapter dropping the connection to a specific extender. While troubleshooting, I was curious about doing recon of WiFi networks and broadcasting devices anyway. That issue? A power setting. It was so determined to save power, it would disconnect. The extender is also flirting with the older end of 6 years old.  The battery needs to be replaced, but that's new to me. As a Windows laptop, there are a plethora of options to pick. How do you decide which one is safest?  I am suddenly concerned about this despite having 3 unofficial, 15$ Macbook Air chargers from eBay, and no explosions. But let's move onto the Site Survey - Where can I find the stronges...
