Although I am by no means a regular expression expert, I do not believe that ^1 [0-9]*$ will match an AS-path of 1; the space forces a requirement of a maximum of two path elements, with the first element a 1. A single AS-path of 1 would not match. Multiple AS-path elements are separated by a

The link that they have been giving you describes regular expression notation, but it is hard to see how it applies to routing. Use the command "show ip bgp regexp [regular-expression] to see what routes match. This will help you probably more than any tutorial on regular expressions,

I agree with you. The NSSA does not send Type-7 LSA's to area 0.0.0.0., but converts them to Type-5. Their explanation contradicts their answer, but even the explanation is not correct; it should say "...which are advertised into the backbone as Type-5 LSA's" JMHO MLC "Ken Yeo" [EMAIL

If you look at page 432, Table 9.1 in Doyle's "Routing TCP/IP" for the OSPF interface state machine, you will see clearly that one of the events (6). is "the expiration of the RouterDeadInterval without having received a Hello from the DR or the BDR or both", which changes directly to the DR/BDR

First things first. Just because an interface is Fast Ethernet does not mean that the switch or router will support ISL. (In fact, the 4000 series of switches do not support ISL). ISL is a Cisco-proprietary method of frame tagging for VLAN's; the industry standard is IEEE 802.1Q. Cisco 802.10 is

Cisco is apparently using a logical "building-block" approach to their certification objectives. Assume that if you are taking a CCNP-level exam that you are already expected to know any information required for the CCNA (review the CCNA objectives to be sure you are confident in that material).

As far as I know, Native ISDN does not support callback. Therefore, you can't use callback with the normal LAP-D signaling over the D-channel (out-of-band signaling). You must use PPP (or ARAP if an Appletalk network) which uses in-band signaling. The "dialer in-band" is required. Look at both at
