What technique should be used on BGP edge routers to prevent a multi-homed autonomous
system from becoming a transit system?

A. Advertise with a high MED value all networks that are discovered via external BGP.
B. Set the no-export community attribute on all networks that are advertised externally.
C. Remove the AS-Path information on all routes in the BGP table prior to advertising externally.
D. Set the origin code to incomplete for all networks that are discovered via external BGP.
E. Only advertise networks externally if they have been discovered via internal BGP.
F. Use an outgoing distribution list to filter all networks not originating from inside the autonomous system.

Answer: F

Explanation:

The minimum configuration that guarantees you won't become a transit AS is shown in the following example:
router bgp 65000neighbor 10.1.1.1 filter-list 1 out!ip as-path access-list 1 permit
In this example, the outgoing filter list says that all traffic not sourced from the local AS, should not
be advertised. This will prevent the announcement of routes that originated from other
Autonomous Systems, and prevent traffic destined for networks in another AS from going through
your AS. This is useful real-world information to know and if you configure your network with BGP
in a multi-homed environmet, odds are good that you will want to implement this kind of filter.

Cisco’s John Chambers: Digital Disruption Is An Opportunity For CIOs

Cisco Systems, John Chambers, CEO Inc.CSCO -1.59% said society from the digital disruption is so intense that one third of the management teams of the companies will not make the transition over the next three Chief years.For Information Officer, however, is an opportunity to increase their role in society as technology becomes increasingly important for business. "It's an opportunity to be back in vogue," Chambers said, speaking Tuesday at the conference CIO WSJ network here.

Cisco has experienced interruptions as its core networking business has faced increasing competition from new network schemes using low-cost hardware controlled by independent providers software.Technology sell hardware such as servers, routers and switches are all in risk of digital disruption, said Mr. Chambers. If I do not move from selling boxes to the sales results, would stay again, he said.

Mr. Chambers said that Disco has changed more in the last 12 months in the 30 year history of the company. The company was reorganized and moved from the product silos to integrate horizontally. Cisco has removed 62 business units. The company also replaced 41% of its customer sales executives who moved to the store based on the results.

Reinvention is hard for both the CEO and CIO, Chambers said. However, he acknowledged that information technology has become once again a boardroom level discussion because technology is so deeply rooted in business strategy. Cisco CIO Rebecca Jacoby is an important part of the capacity Mr. Chambers' to make this transformation.

Cisco and Proximus Renew Strategic Partnership

Cisco and leading Belgian telecommunications and IT service Proximus today announced at CES 2015, which have consolidated their partnership to promote innovation and joint business development. The renewed partnership will enable Proximus their customers faster, customized and innovative services across the entire portfolio. Cisco will benefit from the technology research experience Proximus' and local market penetration, offerings. Within renewed to co-create new service under this agreement, Proximus and Cisco have three growth areas defined the next generation video delivery to consumers the intelligent city services for government organizations and orchestration of services for business to business customers.

Next Generation Video Delivery:

Proximus has a video service for mass market success through digital television, traditional decoders. By centralizing the functionality of digital TV open cloud architecture Proximus' instead of the recorder of consumer digital video recorder (DVR), the telecommunications provider plans to move faster, accelerating the delivery of new capabilities customized video. For example, making an open cloud-based architecture is easy to digital TV with third party applications, such as evaluations and recommendations based programs integrating cloud. And subscribers that run from the DVR space for your favorite shows in the future, simply lease more space in the cloud. With NDS Group, both partners have developed a new generation TV service based on the cloud for Proximus.

Smart And Connected Cities:

The cities are facing new challenges such as congestion or demographic pressure. Cities of tomorrow must be safe, efficient, sustainable, comfortable and interactive. Together with Cisco Proximus has developed a framework for smart cities and switched beyond wireless Internet access throughout the city and free. The partnership will accelerate business models to monetize both the coverage and improve the lives of consumers and sales for the company's development of intelligent and connected cities (S + CC).

Service Orchestration And SDN: 

Future proof network and IT infrastructure must be able to meet exponential growth in traffic and have a native ability to enable new services. With Cisco's network service orchestration technology, Proximus customers would be able to configure their network services online. Network orchestration also allows to fully automating the subsequent provisioning and management of both virtual and physical networks, further improving customer experience and agility.

QUESTION NO : 11

Identify three characteristics of EIGRP feasible successors? (Choose three.)

A. A feasible successor is selected by comparing the advertised distance of a non-successor route to the feasible distance of the best route.
B. If the advertised distance of the non-successor route is less than the feasible distance of best route, then that route is identified as a feasible successor.
C. If the successor becomes unavailable, then the feasible successor can be used immediately without recalculating for a lost route.
D. The feasible successor can be found in the routing table.
E. Traffic will be load balanced between feasible successors with the same advertised distance.
