CCNP / BSCI:

Identify the optional transitive BGP attributes.

A. origin

B. next-hop

C. LOCAL_PREF

Answer: E. Community (not in the list of choices) and aggregator are the two transitive optional BGP attributes, "transitive" meaning that their values will be carried from one AS to another. MED is the only optional non-transitive attribute.


CCNP / BCMSN:
