Which of the following statements regarding the summary automatic command and BGP route summarization is false?
Full set: 219 questionsDomain BGP Principles and Configuration
The statement that automatic summarization takes precedence over manual summarization is false. In Huawei's BGP implementation, manual route summarization, configured using the aggregate command, has a higher priority than automatic summarization, which is enabled by the summary automatic command. If a route matches both a manual and an automatic summary configuration, the manual summary configuration will be applied, and the automatic one will be ignored for that specific route. This allows for more granular and specific control over route advertisements, overriding the broader, classful-based automatic behavior.
A. This is a true statement. The primary function of route summarization, including automatic summarization, is to advertise a single summary route while suppressing the more specific constituent routes.
C. This is a true statement. The summary automatic command is applied within the BGP process to summarize routes that have been imported into the local BGP routing table, typically from an IGP, before they are advertised to BGP peers.
D. This is a true statement. Automatic summarization in BGP is classful, meaning it summarizes routes to their natural (classful) network boundaries (e.g., Class A, B, or C).
1. Huawei, HCIP-Datacom-Core Technology V1.0 Training Material, "BGP Route Aggregation" section. The material explicitly states: "If both automatic and manual aggregation are configured, manual aggregation takes precedence."
2. Huawei, NE40E V800R010C10SPC500 Configuration Guide - BGP, "Configuring BGP Route Summarization" section. This guide details the functions of both the summary automatic command for classful summarization of imported routes and the aggregate command for manual summarization, implicitly confirming the standard network behavior where manual, specific configurations override automatic, general ones.
