Question 370

Two IPv6 OSPFv3 routers share a link but have different area assignments. The incident evidence is: No OSPFv3 adjacency forms despite IPv6 link-local connectivity. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Enable supported OSPFv3 IPv6 routing and adjacencies using IPv6 link-local neighbor reachability.
  2. Place the connected OSPFv3 interfaces into the same intended area, maintaining valid process and instance alignment.
  3. Ensure the ABR connects the normal area to area0 through supported backbone topology.
  4. Place ASBR external routes in an area type that supports external LSAs or adjust area design deliberately.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The required correction is: Place the connected OSPFv3 interfaces into the same intended area, maintaining valid process and instance alignment. The underlying failure mechanism is: The OSPFv3 interface area IDs are inconsistent between adjacent peers. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: check OSPFv3 interface area IDs and neighbor state until adjacency reaches Full.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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

C:

Ensuring the ABR connects the normal area to area0 through supported backbone topology would not place the connected OSPFv3 interfaces into the same intended area, maintaining valid process and instance alignment.

D:

Placing ASBR external routes in an area type that supports external LSAs or adjust area design deliberately would not place the connected OSPFv3 interfaces into the same intended area, maintaining valid process and instance alignment.

Question 371

Two IPv6 OSPFv3 routers share a link but have different area assignments. The proposed remedy is: Place the connected OSPFv3 interfaces into the same intended area, maintaining valid process and instance alignment. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Inspect OSPFv3 neighbors and IPv6 link-local next hops on the interface.
  2. Inspect ABR LSAs and inter-area route presence from area10 toward area0 destinations.
  3. Check OSPFv3 interface area IDs and neighbor state until adjacency reaches Full.
  4. Check area type, LSA database and default-route behavior for the selected stub model.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Check OSPFv3 interface area IDs and neighbor state until adjacency reaches Full. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: no OSPFv3 adjacency forms despite IPv6 link-local connectivity.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Inspect OSPFv3 neighbors and IPv6 link-local next hops on the interface. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: check OSPFv3 interface area IDs and neighbor state until adjacency reaches Full.

B:

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: check OSPFv3 interface area IDs and neighbor state until adjacency reaches Full.

D:

This test measures a different behavior: Check area type, LSA database and default-route behavior for the selected stub model. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: check OSPFv3 interface area IDs and neighbor state until adjacency reaches Full.

Question 372

Two IPv6 OSPFv3 routers share a link but have different area assignments. During troubleshooting: No OSPFv3 adjacency forms despite IPv6 link-local connectivity. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. Stub areas suppress Type 5 external LSAs; the expectation of normal external flooding was wrong.
  2. OSPFv3 neighbor formation uses link-local addressing on the link, not a required global neighbor address.
  3. Area10 is not connected to a valid backbone path for inter-area routing.
  4. The OSPFv3 interface area IDs are inconsistent between adjacent peers.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The actual technical cause is: The OSPFv3 interface area IDs are inconsistent between adjacent peers. It specifically explains the observation: no OSPFv3 adjacency forms despite IPv6 link-local connectivity. The correcting configuration is: place the connected OSPFv3 interfaces into the same intended area, maintaining valid process and instance alignment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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: no OSPFv3 adjacency forms despite IPv6 link-local connectivity. The applicable cause is: the OSPFv3 interface area IDs are inconsistent between adjacent peers.

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: An operator rejects a valid OSPFv3 design because no global IPv6 address appears on the transit link. Here the recorded observation is: no OSPFv3 adjacency forms despite IPv6 link-local connectivity. The applicable cause is: the OSPFv3 interface area IDs are inconsistent between adjacent peers.

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: no OSPFv3 adjacency forms despite IPv6 link-local connectivity. The applicable cause is: the OSPFv3 interface area IDs are inconsistent between adjacent peers.

Question 373

Two IPv6 OSPFv3 routers share a link but have different area assignments. Select TWO complementary decisions: the direct technical remedy and a safeguard against recurrence. A verification-only step cannot substitute for either action.

  1. Place the connected OSPFv3 interfaces into the same intended area, maintaining valid process and instance alignment.
  2. Document area type and expected LSA categories before adding redistribution.
  3. Audit area and instance IDs during OSPFv3 deployment to additional links.
  4. Ensure the ABR connects the normal area to area0 through supported backbone topology.
  5. Enable supported OSPFv3 IPv6 routing and adjacencies using IPv6 link-local neighbor reachability.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

The required correction is: Place the connected OSPFv3 interfaces into the same intended area, maintaining valid process and instance alignment. The underlying failure mechanism is: The OSPFv3 interface area IDs are inconsistent between adjacent peers. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: check OSPFv3 interface area IDs and neighbor state until adjacency reaches Full.

C:

The continuing protective control is: Audit area and instance IDs during OSPFv3 deployment to additional links. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: the OSPFv3 interface area IDs are inconsistent between adjacent peers. The corresponding operational check is: check OSPFv3 interface area IDs and neighbor state until adjacency reaches Full.

Incorrect Answers

B:

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 OSPFv3 interface area IDs are inconsistent between adjacent peers. The specific required safeguard is: audit area and instance IDs during OSPFv3 deployment to additional links.

D:

An ABR backbone connection does not fix adjacent OSPFv3 interfaces configured with different area assignments.

E:

IPv6 link-local neighbor reachability is necessary for OSPFv3, but it does not reconcile the mismatched area IDs.

Question 374

An OSPF router advertises a default route into area0 but the configured `default-information originate` produces no default while no default exists locally. The incident evidence is: The default LSA disappears when the originating router loses its own RIB default route. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Assign distinct stable router IDs and restart/clear the relevant OSPF process as required by the platform.
  2. Use the supported `always` option only when intentionally advertising default irrespective of a local installed default.
  3. Apply the appropriate external redistribution route-map or prefix controls at the ASBR.
  4. Make the LAN-facing OSPF interface passive while still advertising its connected prefix as appropriate.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The required correction is: Use the supported `always` option only when intentionally advertising default irrespective of a local installed default. The underlying failure mechanism is: Without `always`, default origination depends on a default route being present in the advertising router. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: verify 0.0.0.0/0 external LSA presence and the upstream default route policy under failure tests.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Assigning distinct stable router IDs and restart/clear the relevant OSPF process as required by the platform would not meet the need for the supported `always` option only when intentionally advertising default irrespective of a local installed default.

C:

Applying the appropriate external redistribution route-map or prefix controls at the ASBR would not meet the need for the supported `always` option only when intentionally advertising default irrespective of a local installed default.

D:

Making the LAN-facing OSPF interface passive while still advertising its connected prefix as appropriate would not meet the need for the supported `always` option only when intentionally advertising default irrespective of a local installed default.

Question 375

An OSPF router advertises a default route into area0 but the configured `default-information originate` produces no default while no default exists locally. The proposed remedy is: Use the supported `always` option only when intentionally advertising default irrespective of a local installed default. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Verify 0.0.0.0/0 external LSA presence and the upstream default route policy under failure tests.
  2. Check `show ip ospf neighbor` transitions to Full and peer router IDs are unique.
  3. Inspect redistributed external LSAs and confirm prohibited prefixes are not originated.
  4. Inspect OSPF interface/passive state and verify no LAN neighbor adjacencies form.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Verify 0.0.0.0/0 external LSA presence and the upstream default route policy under failure tests. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: the default LSA disappears when the originating router loses its own RIB default route.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This test measures a different behavior: Check `show ip ospf neighbor` transitions to Full and peer router IDs are unique. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: verify 0.0.0.0/0 external LSA presence and the upstream default route policy under failure tests.

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 0.0.0.0/0 external LSA presence and the upstream default route policy under failure tests.

D:

For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: verify 0.0.0.0/0 external LSA presence and the upstream default route policy under failure tests.

Question 376

An OSPF router advertises a default route into area0 but the configured `default-information originate` produces no default while no default exists locally. During troubleshooting: The default LSA disappears when the originating router loses its own RIB default route. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The user-facing interface is active for OSPF neighbor discovery instead of passive.
  2. The area range controls inter-area summarization, not the ASBR's redistributed external LSA set.
  3. The OSPF domain does not have unique router identifiers for participating routers.
  4. Without `always`, default origination depends on a default route being present in the advertising router.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The actual technical cause is: Without `always`, default origination depends on a default route being present in the advertising router. It specifically explains the observation: the default LSA disappears when the originating router loses its own RIB default route. The correcting configuration is: use the supported `always` option only when intentionally advertising default irrespective of a local installed default.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Untrusted LAN hosts receive OSPF Hellos and can attempt to form adjacencies. Here the recorded observation is: the default LSA disappears when the originating router loses its own RIB default route. The applicable cause is: without `always`, default origination depends on a default route being present in the advertising router.

B:

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: the default LSA disappears when the originating router loses its own RIB default route. The applicable cause is: without `always`, default origination depends on a default route being present in the advertising router.

C:

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: the default LSA disappears when the originating router loses its own RIB default route. The applicable cause is: without `always`, default origination depends on a default route being present in the advertising router.

Question 377

An OSPF router advertises a default route into area0 but the configured `default-information originate` produces no default while no default exists locally. The initial change is: Use the supported `always` option only when intentionally advertising default irrespective of a local installed default. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: The default LSA disappears when the originating router loses its own RIB default route.

  1. Review external redistribution policy separately from ABR inter-area ranges.
  2. Prevent blackhole risk by testing fallback/default origination and upstream viability.
  3. Reserve unique stable router IDs and verify after device replacements.
  4. Prefer passive-interface default with explicit trusted transit exceptions where supported.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The continuing protective control is: Prevent blackhole risk by testing fallback/default origination and upstream viability. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: without `always`, default origination depends on a default route being present in the advertising router. The corresponding operational check is: verify 0.0.0.0/0 external LSA presence and the upstream default route policy under failure tests.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That control reduces a separate risk: The area range controls inter-area summarization, not the ASBR's redistributed external LSA set. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: without `always`, default origination depends on a default route being present in the advertising router. The specific required safeguard is: prevent blackhole risk by testing fallback/default origination and upstream viability.

C:

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: without `always`, default origination depends on a default route being present in the advertising router. The specific required safeguard is: prevent blackhole risk by testing fallback/default origination and upstream viability.

D:

That control reduces a separate risk: The user-facing interface is active for OSPF neighbor discovery instead of passive. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: without `always`, default origination depends on a default route being present in the advertising router. The specific required safeguard is: prevent blackhole risk by testing fallback/default origination and upstream viability.

Question 378

An OSPF router needs to filter certain redistributed external prefixes but an operator applies an area range command expecting it to remove type5 LSAs. The incident evidence is: External prefixes still appear in OSPF despite a changed inter-area summary range. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Place ASBR external routes in an area type that supports external LSAs or adjust area design deliberately.
  2. Configure supported inter-area `area 10 range` summarization on the ABR with the intended prefix boundary.
  3. Make the LAN-facing OSPF interface passive while still advertising its connected prefix as appropriate.
  4. Apply the appropriate external redistribution route-map or prefix controls at the ASBR.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The required correction is: Apply the appropriate external redistribution route-map or prefix controls at the ASBR. The underlying failure mechanism is: The area range controls inter-area summarization, not the ASBR's redistributed external LSA set. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: inspect redistributed external LSAs and confirm prohibited prefixes are not originated.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Placing ASBR external routes in an area type that supports external LSAs or adjust area design deliberately would not apply the appropriate external redistribution route-map or prefix controls at the ASBR.

B:

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

C:

Making the LAN-facing OSPF interface passive while still advertising its connected prefix as appropriate would not apply the appropriate external redistribution route-map or prefix controls at the ASBR.

Question 379

An OSPF router needs to filter certain redistributed external prefixes but an operator applies an area range command expecting it to remove type5 LSAs. The proposed remedy is: Apply the appropriate external redistribution route-map or prefix controls at the ASBR. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Verify external areas learn the summary and the specific component prefixes remain within area10.
  2. Inspect redistributed external LSAs and confirm prohibited prefixes are not originated.
  3. Check area type, LSA database and default-route behavior for the selected stub model.
  4. Inspect OSPF interface/passive state and verify no LAN neighbor adjacencies form.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Inspect redistributed external LSAs and confirm prohibited prefixes are not originated. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: external prefixes still appear in OSPF despite a changed inter-area summary range.

Question 380

An OSPF router needs to filter certain redistributed external prefixes but an operator applies an area range command expecting it to remove type5 LSAs. During troubleshooting: External prefixes still appear in OSPF despite a changed inter-area summary range. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The user-facing interface is active for OSPF neighbor discovery instead of passive.
  2. The ABR has no correctly scoped inter-area summary range for the advertised prefixes.
  3. Stub areas suppress Type 5 external LSAs; the expectation of normal external flooding was wrong.
  4. The area range controls inter-area summarization, not the ASBR's redistributed external LSA set.

Explanation

Correct Answer

The applicable cause is: the area range controls inter-area summarization, not the ASBR's redistributed external LSA set.

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Area0 contains dozens of separate intra-area destinations from area10 with no consolidated summary. Here the recorded observation is: external prefixes still appear in OSPF despite a changed inter-area summary range. The applicable cause is: the area range controls inter-area summarization, not the ASBR's redistributed external LSA set.
