What is BGP Synchronization rules?? Can any one explain..???..

Answer / shahin

BGP synchronization rules states that

"Do not use or advertise to an external neighbors a route
learned by IBGP until a matching route has been learned from
IGP."

R1--------R2-------R3------R4

Here in this scenario R1 & R4 running IBP where R2 & R3
running sme IGP protocol.

As we know, for IBGP, neighbors don't need to have directly
conneted. Now when R1 tries to establish TCP session with
R4, it wud be successful to establish a session but when
updates message will come to R2 router which running IGP
(Such as OSPF/EIGRP/RIPv2) this R2 router aware of router
R4. No entry exist for path to reach R4.

As we know, router drops all the packet for unknown destination.

so all we hv to do is to sychonized the IBGP & IGP though
command. Once they synchronised with each other then only
any packet destined for R4 willbe able to pass though R2 & R3.

By default synchronization is on in all BGP running router.
Best practice to off it if all the router within the AS
running BGP.

Answer / ranbir

IGP table must be synchronized with iBGP routing table...
means BGP'll let IGP to finish its job first i.e. propagate
within the AS...
it may not be needed in case of all BGP enabled routers i
think but not sure

On a network design project you determine that a new testing application requires multiple hosts. These hosts must be capable of sharing data between each host and an enterprise server at 10 Mobs bandwidth. Other divisions in the company use applications that require less than 2 Mobs bandwidth of the enterprise server. What is your most economical recommendation? A. That existing 10BaseT hubs be replaced with 1 00BaseT hubs to improve overall performance B. That a router can separate the testing application from the rest of the network, thus allowing the testing application more bandwidth. C. That a switch be installed, so that the enterprise server can be provided a 100 Mobs pod and each of the testing application hosts can be given dedicated 10 Mobs pods] D. That a bridge be placed between the enterprise server and all other users with the exception of the testing application
