Topology

Tasks
-

BGP connectivity exists between Headquarters and both remote sites, however Remote Site 1 cannot communicate with Remote Site 2. Configure BGP according to the topology to achieve these goals:

1. Configure R2 under the BGP process to provide reachability between Remote Site 1 and Remote Site 2. No configuration changes are permitted on R1 or R3.
2. Ensure that the /32 networks at Remote Site 1 and Remote Site 2 can ping each other.

Guys just saying, I did the exam yesterday and Cisco changed all simulations with the new ENCOR v1.1. Neither 744, 745, 746, 747, 751, 752, 754, 773, 798 or 801. I recommend you to wait till ExamTopics people has uploaded the new ones. Just not fair, from v1.0 to v1.1 changing the whole exam, thanks Cisco.

Simulation not listed here Configure HSRP - Alternative to Simulation 7 - GLBP Configuration Scenario Configure Distro-SW1 and Distro-SW2 on vlan 100 for hosts connected to Access-SW1 to achieve these goals: 1. Configure group number 1 using virtual IP address of 192.168.1.1/24 2. Configure Distro-SW1 as the active router using a priority value of 110 and Distro-SW2 as the standby router 3. Ensure that Distro-SW2 will take over the active role when Distro-SW1 goes down, and when Distro-SW1 recovers, it autmatically resumes the active role Distro-SW1 Sw1 int vlan 100 standby 1 ip 102.168.1.1 standby 1 priority 110 standby 1 preempt copy run start Distro-SW2 Sw2 int vlan 100 standby 1 ip 102.168.1.1 standby 1 preempt copy run start

I passed the updated exam less than 2 weeks ago. And as Din04 said it most of the Simulations here are not in the current exam. (Well i did not get any of them but one) Out of the 4 simulations that I had to complete i only got the GRE + Ipsec simulation. This material is great if you want to find and work on your weakness but dont expect to have the exact same questions.

If the question said configure R1 and R3 then allowas-in would be correct. Because the question says configure 'only' R2, as-override in the correct answer.

Yes, since AS 123 is used on remote site 1 and 2. Using as-override will replace the redundant AS in the AS path so the BGP update will not be discarded due to AS loop

The BGP allowas-in feature allows a router to accept routes even if its own AS number is present in the AS path attribute. This is in contrast to the default BGP behavior, where a route containing the receiving router's AS number is considered a loop and discarded. Essentially, it overrides the loop prevention mechanism for eBGP connections.

You don't necessarily need to configure an address-family ipv4 as this is the default address family when you configure a neighbor in global BGP configuration mode. The address-family statement is only required when you need to run multiple address families. https://community.cisco.com/t5/routing/address-family-ipv4-under-bgp/td-p/431212#:~:text=You%20don%27t%20necesseraly%20need%20to%20configure%20an%20address-family,can%20configure%20everything%20in%20BGP%20global%20configuration%20mode.

Hi - the Sim you are referring to is where you need to configure R1 and R3 and need to allow-as-in under the bgp IPv4 address family

tempaccount00001

2 years, 1 month ago

The "allowas-in" feature is configured on the neighbour not on the bgp ipv4 address family. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/border-gateway-protocol-bgp/112236-allowas-in-bgp-config-example.html If in the exam you need to configure R1 and R3 you would do this: R1: router bgp 123 neighbour 10.0.0.2 remote-as 456 neighbour 10.0.0.2 allowas-in network 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 network 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 R3: router bgp 123 neighbour 192.168.1.2 remote-as 456 neighbour 192.168.1.2 allowas-in network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 network 3.3.3.3 255.255.255.255 then you would test: R1: ping 1.1.1.1 source 3.3.3.3 or from R3: ping 3.3.3.3 source 1.1.1.1

it depends on the IOS, IOS XE will not allow you to do the command you mentioned and it will need to be configured under the address family configuration mode. i have lab'ed it up. id say you will need to check in the exam if IPv4 address family has been configured or not and take it from there

What gets me is that as-override didn't seem to be in the scope of ENCOR (certainly not in the official Cisco cert guide), particularly if vpnv4 and MPLS needs (or originally needed) to be part of the equation.

upvoted 2 times

danman32

2 years, 1 month ago

I'm wondering if the intent of the test simulation is to test you on using policy-map to modify the AS as R2 sends it out to R1 and R3. That would get around the controversy if as-override would work in real-world without VRF4. After all, route manipulation using policy-map IS in the cert study guide.

upvoted 1 times

danman32

2 years, 1 month ago

Then again, if you go by the cert guide, there's only "set as-path prepend" That won't work because you'll still have the unwanted AS in the path. So I guess you can only use as-override. There is a "set as-prepend replace" but again beyond the scope of the cert guide. Seems to be a relatively new command addition to IOS.

I tried to set this up in GNS3 and was not successful in configuring the example. It seems as if the word "mask" is missing in the network statements between the IP and the mask. As HungarianDish mentioned, it looks like the as-override command only works inside of a VRF. I am certainly far from an expert though, I wonder how much vrf configuration is actually on the exam.
