Question 360

A point-to-point routed link has both OSPF peers set to broadcast network type and requires unnecessary DR election. During troubleshooting: A two-router point-to-point link unexpectedly elects a DR and follows broadcast-style adjacency rules. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The OSPF domain does not have unique router identifiers for participating routers.
  2. The OSPF network type is set to broadcast instead of point-to-point.
  3. The DR/BDR adjacency topology intentionally avoids full DROther-to-DROther adjacencies.
  4. Stub areas suppress Type 5 external LSAs; the expectation of normal external flooding was wrong.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The actual technical cause is: The OSPF network type is set to broadcast instead of point-to-point. It specifically explains the observation: a two-router point-to-point link unexpectedly elects a DR and follows broadcast-style adjacency rules. The correcting configuration is: configure the appropriate OSPF point-to-point network type on the dedicated link.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: OSPF adjacency fails or behaves inconsistently when duplicate router IDs are present. Here the recorded observation is: a two-router point-to-point link unexpectedly elects a DR and follows broadcast-style adjacency rules. The applicable cause is: the OSPF network type is set to broadcast instead of point-to-point.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Two DROthers remain in 2-Way even though the network is forwarding routes normally. Here the recorded observation is: a two-router point-to-point link unexpectedly elects a DR and follows broadcast-style adjacency rules. The applicable cause is: the OSPF network type is set to broadcast instead of point-to-point.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: External routes are absent inside the stub despite a working internal adjacency. Here the recorded observation is: a two-router point-to-point link unexpectedly elects a DR and follows broadcast-style adjacency rules. The applicable cause is: the OSPF network type is set to broadcast instead of point-to-point.

Question 361

A point-to-point routed link has both OSPF peers set to broadcast network type and requires unnecessary DR election. The initial change is: Configure the appropriate OSPF point-to-point network type on the dedicated link. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: A two-router point-to-point link unexpectedly elects a DR and follows broadcast-style adjacency rules.

  1. Document area type and expected LSA categories before adding redistribution.
  2. Reserve unique stable router IDs and verify after device replacements.
  3. Standardize OSPF network types and timer matching on dedicated routed links.
  4. Train responders to correlate neighbor role with state before resetting healthy OSPF links.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The continuing protective control is: Standardize OSPF network types and timer matching on dedicated routed links. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: the OSPF network type is set to broadcast instead of point-to-point. The corresponding operational check is: verify no DR/BDR election and the peer reaches Full on the point-to-point interface.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That control reduces a separate risk: Stub areas suppress Type 5 external LSAs; the expectation of normal external flooding was wrong. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the OSPF network type is set to broadcast instead of point-to-point. The specific required safeguard is: standardize OSPF network types and timer matching on dedicated routed links.

B:

That control reduces a separate risk: The OSPF domain does not have unique router identifiers for participating routers. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the OSPF network type is set to broadcast instead of point-to-point. The specific required safeguard is: standardize OSPF network types and timer matching on dedicated routed links.

D:

That control reduces a separate risk: The DR/BDR adjacency topology intentionally avoids full DROther-to-DROther adjacencies. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the OSPF network type is set to broadcast instead of point-to-point. The specific required safeguard is: standardize OSPF network types and timer matching on dedicated routed links.

Question 362

An ABR should advertise a single summarized subnet group from area10 to area0 instead of many /24s. The incident evidence is: Area0 contains dozens of separate intra-area destinations from area10 with no consolidated summary. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Apply the appropriate external redistribution route-map or prefix controls at the ASBR.
  2. Place the connected OSPFv3 interfaces into the same intended area, maintaining valid process and instance alignment.
  3. Configure supported inter-area `area 10 range` summarization on the ABR with the intended prefix boundary.
  4. Ensure the ABR connects the normal area to area0 through supported backbone topology.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The required correction is: Configure supported inter-area `area 10 range` summarization on the ABR with the intended prefix boundary. The underlying failure mechanism is: The ABR has no correctly scoped inter-area summary range for the advertised prefixes. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: verify external areas learn the summary and the specific component prefixes remain within area10.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Applying the appropriate external redistribution route-map or prefix controls at the ASBR would not configure supported inter-area `area 10 range` summarization on the ABR with the intended prefix boundary.

B:

Placing the connected OSPFv3 interfaces into the same intended area, maintaining valid process and instance alignment would not configure supported inter-area `area 10 range` summarization on the ABR with the intended prefix boundary.

D:

Ensuring the ABR connects the normal area to area0 through supported backbone topology would not configure supported inter-area `area 10 range` summarization on the ABR with the intended prefix boundary.

Question 363

An ABR should advertise a single summarized subnet group from area10 to area0 instead of many /24s. The proposed remedy is: Configure supported inter-area `area 10 range` summarization on the ABR with the intended prefix boundary. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Inspect ABR LSAs and inter-area route presence from area10 toward area0 destinations.
  2. Check OSPFv3 interface area IDs and neighbor state until adjacency reaches Full.
  3. Inspect redistributed external LSAs and confirm prohibited prefixes are not originated.
  4. Verify external areas learn the summary and the specific component prefixes remain within area10.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Verify external areas learn the summary and the specific component prefixes remain within area10. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: area0 contains dozens of separate intra-area destinations from area10 with no consolidated summary.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Inspect ABR LSAs and inter-area route presence from area10 toward area0 destinations. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: verify external areas learn the summary and the specific component prefixes remain within area10.

B:

This test measures a different behavior: Check OSPFv3 interface area IDs and neighbor state until adjacency reaches Full. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: verify external areas learn the summary and the specific component prefixes remain within area10.

C:

This test measures a different behavior: Inspect redistributed external LSAs and confirm prohibited prefixes are not originated. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: verify external areas learn the summary and the specific component prefixes remain within area10.

Question 364

An ABR should advertise a single summarized subnet group from area10 to area0 instead of many /24s. During troubleshooting: Area0 contains dozens of separate intra-area destinations from area10 with no consolidated summary. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The OSPFv3 interface area IDs are inconsistent between adjacent peers.
  2. The ABR has no correctly scoped inter-area summary range for the advertised prefixes.
  3. Area10 is not connected to a valid backbone path for inter-area routing.
  4. The area range controls inter-area summarization, not the ASBR's redistributed external LSA set.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The actual technical cause is: The ABR has no correctly scoped inter-area summary range for the advertised prefixes. It specifically explains the observation: area0 contains dozens of separate intra-area destinations from area10 with no consolidated summary. The correcting configuration is: configure supported inter-area `area 10 range` summarization on the ABR with the intended prefix boundary.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: No OSPFv3 adjacency forms despite IPv6 link-local connectivity. Here the recorded observation is: area0 contains dozens of separate intra-area destinations from area10 with no consolidated summary. The applicable cause is: the ABR has no correctly scoped inter-area summary range for the advertised prefixes.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Intra-area reachability works but normal inter-area destinations are absent. Here the recorded observation is: area0 contains dozens of separate intra-area destinations from area10 with no consolidated summary. The applicable cause is: the ABR has no correctly scoped inter-area summary range for the advertised prefixes.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: External prefixes still appear in OSPF despite a changed inter-area summary range. Here the recorded observation is: area0 contains dozens of separate intra-area destinations from area10 with no consolidated summary. The applicable cause is: the ABR has no correctly scoped inter-area summary range for the advertised prefixes.

Question 365

An ABR should advertise a single summarized subnet group from area10 to area0 instead of many /24s. The initial change is: Configure supported inter-area `area 10 range` summarization on the ABR with the intended prefix boundary. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: Area0 contains dozens of separate intra-area destinations from area10 with no consolidated summary.

  1. Review external redistribution policy separately from ABR inter-area ranges.
  2. Test ABR and area0 connectivity when expanding OSPF areas.
  3. Review summary boundaries to avoid blackholing addresses in unused holes.
  4. Audit area and instance IDs during OSPFv3 deployment to additional links.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The continuing protective control is: Review summary boundaries to avoid blackholing addresses in unused holes. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: the ABR has no correctly scoped inter-area summary range for the advertised prefixes. The corresponding operational check is: verify external areas learn the summary and the specific component prefixes remain within area10.

Question 366

An OSPFv3 IPv6 router must form adjacency over an IPv6 link even when the interface lacks a globally routable IPv6 address. The incident evidence is: An operator rejects a valid OSPFv3 design because no global IPv6 address appears on the transit link. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Place the connected OSPFv3 interfaces into the same intended area, maintaining valid process and instance alignment.
  2. Enable supported OSPFv3 IPv6 routing and adjacencies using IPv6 link-local neighbor reachability.
  3. Configure the appropriate OSPF point-to-point network type on the dedicated link.
  4. Make the LAN-facing OSPF interface passive while still advertising its connected prefix as appropriate.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The required correction is: Enable supported OSPFv3 IPv6 routing and adjacencies using IPv6 link-local neighbor reachability. The underlying failure mechanism is: OSPFv3 neighbor formation uses link-local addressing on the link, not a required global neighbor address. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: inspect OSPFv3 neighbors and IPv6 link-local next hops on the interface.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Placing the connected OSPFv3 interfaces into the same intended area, maintaining valid process and instance alignment would not enable supported OSPFv3 IPv6 routing and adjacencies using IPv6 link-local neighbor reachability.

C:

Configuring the appropriate OSPF point-to-point network type on the dedicated link would not enable supported OSPFv3 IPv6 routing and adjacencies using IPv6 link-local neighbor reachability.

D:

Making the LAN-facing OSPF interface passive while still advertising its connected prefix as appropriate would not enable supported OSPFv3 IPv6 routing and adjacencies using IPv6 link-local neighbor reachability.
