BGP, EIGRP, and ISIS are routing protocols used in networking.

• BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is used for routing between different autonomous systems.

• EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) is a Cisco proprietary protocol used for routing within a single autonomous system.

• ISIS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System) is a protocol used for routing within a single autonomous system, similar to EIGRP.

• BGP us...read more

VPN is a secure connection between two networks while VLAN is a logical grouping of devices on a network.

• VPN stands for Virtual Private Network and is used to securely connect two networks over the internet.

• VPN uses encryption to protect data transmitted over the network.

• VLAN stands for Virtual Local Area Network and is used to logically group devices on a network.

• VLANs can be used to separate traffic on a network for ...read more

MTU stands for Maximum Transmission Unit. It is the largest size of data packet that can be transmitted over a network.

• MTU is measured in bytes.

• The default MTU size for Ethernet is 1500 bytes.

• To find the MTU size for CE/PE, you can use the ping command with the -f option to set the Do Not Fragment (DNF) bit and gradually increase the packet size until you receive a 'packet needs to be fragmented but DF set' message.

• Ano...read more

BGP attributes are characteristics used to determine the best path for routing traffic between networks.

• BGP attributes include: AS Path, Next Hop, Local Preference, Multi-Exit Discriminator (MED), Weight, and Origin.

• AS Path identifies the sequence of autonomous systems that the route has passed through.

• Next Hop identifies the IP address of the next router in the path.

• Local Preference is used to indicate the preferred p...read more
