Just want to tackle ROUTE for now?   You'll pass that exam with my CCNP ROUTE Video Boot Camp before the January 30, 2015 deadline, or you'll get the fully-updated ROUTE course free!

(You still get the free CCNA Security course, too!)

Let's get to the answers!

1.  The BGP path states are Idle > Connect > Active >  OpenSent >  OpenConfirm  >  Established.



2.  Those BGP attributes.... 

Well-known mandatory attributes: 
AS_PATH, Origin, and Next-Hop

Optional transitive attributes:
Aggregator, Community

Optional non-transitive attributes:
MED (the Multi-Exit Discriminator)


3.  While we're at it, here are all three of the BGP Origin codes and their meaning:

"i" -- path originated from an IGP via the network command

"e" -- path originated from an Exterior Gateway Protocol

"?" --  actual origin unknown, since the route was learned via route redistribution


See you on YouTube and Udemy (and on Friday with another new CCNP ROUTE practice test!)
