Understanding BGP and Redundancy
Compare BGP with two (2) other scalable routing protocols, and examine the major advantages and disadvantages of each. If you were charged with network implementation, suggest the steps that you would take to decide on which protocol to utilize.
Assume that you are responsible for connecting an enterprise network to an Internet service provider (ISP). Analyze the main options that you would have for achieving redundancy in the network. Describe the primary reasons why you would choose one (1) option over another.
Redundancy
Suggest the importance of utilizing Route Process Redundancy (RPR), Stateful Switch Over (SSO), and Non Stop Forwarding (NSF) in the implementation of Redundant Supervisor Engines in Catalyst switches.
Indicate the manner in which you would choose one (1) option over another in terms of fail-over time, transparency, and configuration complexity.
Describe the way in which redundant gateways are configured for first-hop protocols such as Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), and Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) to ensure that they operate in a way that provides redundancy and load balancing.
