ï‚· Edge Port Behavior

An edge port transitions directly to the Forwarding state but reverts to participating in RSTP calculations if it receives a valid configuration BPDU. Thus, statement C is false.

ï‚· HCIP-Datacom-Core Reference

The behavior of edge ports and their transitions are discussed in the RSTP enhancement sections​​.

When OSPF routers exchange LSDBs using Database Description (DD) packets, they first establish a master-slave relationship. The router with the larger Router ID becomes the master, setting the MS (Master/Slave) bit in the DD packets. This hierarchical relationship ensures an orderly exchange of routing information ​.

The traffic limiting policy feature supports not only limiting the number of connections initiated by or received by an IP address but can also apply other traffic metrics such as bandwidth or packet rates. This expanded capability makes the statement false ​.

ï‚· LSP Generation in IS-ISIS-IS routers generate new Link State Packets (LSPs) under the following conditions:

Interface Status Changes: When IS-IS interfaces go up or down, the link state changes, triggering LSP updates.

Periodic Updates: IS-IS periodically regenerates LSPs to ensure link-state information remains synchronized across the network.

Interface Metric Changes: Any modification to interface costs results in a new LSP to reflect the updated cost in the network.

ï‚· Incorrect Option

C. Inter-area IP routes change is incorrect because IS-IS does not inherently differentiate between areas for LSP generation.

ï‚· HCIP-Datacom-Core Reference

IS-IS LSP generation rules are detailed in the IS-IS configuration and implementation chapters​​.

Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Understanding the AS-Path Filter:

The as-path-filter command is used in BGP to filter routes based on the AS_PATH attribute.

In this configuration:

The filter si is defined with the regular expression _65500$.

The _65500$ expression specifies that the AS_PATH must end with 65500, meaning that the route's last hop must have passed through AS 65500.

2. Option Analysis:

Option A: It accepts only the routes whose AS_Path contains AS 65500.

Incorrect.

The _65500$ filter specifically matches routes where AS 65500 is the last AS in the AS_PATH. A route may contain AS 65500 somewhere in the middle of the AS_PATH but will not match this filter unless it is the last AS.

Option B: It accepts only the routes originated from AS 65500.

Incorrect.

Routes that originate from AS 65500 have an AS_PATH that starts with 65500. However, the filter _65500$ only matches routes where AS 65500 is the last AS, not the first AS.

Option C: It accepts only the routes that last pass through AS 65500.

Correct.

The _65500$ filter ensures that the AS_PATH ends with 65500. This means that the route must have last passed through AS 65500 before being received by the local BGP router.

Option D: It accepts only the routes forwarded by AS 65500.

Incorrect.

While AS 65500 may forward the route, this is not what the filter _65500$ specifically checks for. It only ensures that AS 65500 is the last AS in the AS_PATH.

3. Summary:

The as-path-filter with _65500$ accepts only the routes where AS 65500 is the last AS in the AS_PATH.

ï‚· IP Prefix List Matching Conditions

An IP prefix list matches based on:

Mask: Specifies the subnet mask length.

Action: Specifies whether to permit or deny.

Index: Orders the rules within the prefix list.

Port numbers are not applicable as matching conditions in an IP prefix list.

ï‚· HCIP-Datacom-Core Reference

IP prefix list configurations are detailed in the routing policy and route filtering chapters​​.

The mandatory parameters for BGP peer configuration are the peer IP address (peer ip-address) and AS number (as-number). A password is optional for MD5 authentication, and a description is an optional comment for reference. These are not required for establishing the peer relationship ​.

ï‚· RST BPDU Handling

On an RSTP network, if a port receives an RST BPDU and determines its own buffered BPDU is superior, it discards the received BPDU without responding. This ensures stability and proper convergence in the network.

ï‚· HCIP-Datacom-Core Reference

BPDU handling is described in the RSTP operation chapters​​.
