Job offer dilemma: To tell or not to tell?
Hey everyone, Got a call about a job, but the HR said I'd HAVE to join if selected. I told her my last working day is in 30 days (without even resigning yet!). What should I do? Do I tell her the real 90-day notice period, or just withdraw my application?

  • Q4. How OSPF neighbourship occuures?
  • Ans. 

    OSPF neighbourship occurs when two OSPF routers establish a relationship to exchange routing information.

    • OSPF routers send hello packets to discover neighbours

    • If the hello packets are compatible, the routers become neighbours

    • The routers exchange database descriptors to synchronize their link-state databases

    • If the databases are the same, the routers become fully adjacent

    • Neighbourship can be affected by network topology ...

  • Q5. What is AS path prepend?
  • Ans. 

    AS path prepend is a technique used in BGP to influence the path selection of traffic.

    • AS path prepend involves adding the same AS number multiple times to the AS path attribute of a BGP route advertisement.

    • This makes the path appear longer and less desirable, causing traffic to prefer other paths.

    • AS path prepend can be used to influence inbound or outbound traffic.

    • Inbound traffic can be influenced by adding the local A...

  • Q7. What is VRF and how it works?
  • Ans. 

    VRF stands for Virtual Routing and Forwarding. It is a technology that allows multiple instances of a routing table to coexist on the same router.

    • VRF provides logical separation of routing tables, allowing multiple routing domains to exist on a single physical router.

    • Each VRF has its own routing table and forwarding table, which allows for overlapping IP addresses to be used without conflict.

    • VRFs are commonly used in M...
