Just looking over what you wrote, I'd advise labbing a LOT more specifically with BGP and redistribution you'll be surprised by how much "gaps" in your knowledge will be filled in by labbing the same topics over and over and get experimental it.
Are you using GNS3? - I'd highly recommend labbing with that.
Also, are you taking the test questions with the intention to simply just remember them or are you actually understanding what you're reading? Not saying it will work for you, but for me, I'll take the test questions then I'll screenshot all the questions I either got wrong or just guessed and luckily got correct then I'll correct a word doc and explain (in my own words) why I got it wrong, or what I don't understand - It helps a lot!
Networklessons.com is great, but so is AI you can ask it anything and even post those very same screenshots I mentioned. But take it with a grain of salt because it's not always 100% accurate. I've had a couple arguments with AI based on this
Wish you best on your next attempt.
Hey Chew,
read your advice when you posted it. Decided to follow it with a few tweaks. Nonetheless, I've grown stronger in bgp. I understand it now. My main problem was treating it as if it was an IGP (EIGRP, RIP, OSPF). Once i practiced and did researched and labs...I started to understand BGP is just so...manual...It doesn't do anything FOR you, it does what you tell it.. Route redistribution I've gotten better just sometimes brain derp on the direction of source and destination. Typically the source i just the protocol "being" redistributed OSPF > EIGRP AS would be the the one being redistributed. I thank you very much. If I pass I will post it and give a special thanks to you. It's in two days. Very nervous...
once again thank you.
