3-6: Multiarea OSPF Flashcards
A network administrator is verifying a multi-area OSPF configuration by checking the routing table on a router in area 1. The administrator notices a route to a network that is connected to a router in area 2. Which code appears in front of this route in the routing table within area 1?
O IA
What is one advantage of using multiarea OSPF?
It improves the routing efficiency by reducing the routing table and link-state update overhead.
OSPF type 2 LSA messages are only generated by the __ router to advertise routes in multiaccess networks.
DR
A Type 3 LSA is?
A Summary (ABR)
Which statement describes a multiarea OSPF network?
It has a core backbone area with other areas connected to the backbone area.
Which two statements correctly describe OSPF type 3 LSAs?
- Type 3 LSAs are used to update routes between OSPF areas.
- Type 3 LSAs are generated without requiring a full SPF calculation.
A Type 4 LSA is?
A Summary (ASBR)
Which three steps in the design and implementation of a multiarea OSPF network are considered planning steps?
- Define the OSPF parameters.
- Gather the required parameters.
- Define the network requirements.
The network administrator has been asked to summarize the routes for a new OSPF area. The networks to be summarized are 172.16.8.0, 172.16.10.0, and 172.16.12.0 with subnet masks of 255.255.255.0 for each network. Which command should the administrator use to forward the summary route for area 15 into area 0?
area 15 range 172.16.8.0 255.255.248.0
A Type 1 LSA is?
A Router.
Which two networks are part of the summary route 192.168.32.0/22?
- 192.168.35.0/24
- 192.168.33.0/24
Which command can be used to verify the contents of the LSDB in an OSPF area?
show ip ospf database
When a router belongs to area 0, that router is what type of OSPF router?
Backbone Router
When all interfaces belong to only one area, that router is what type of OSPF router?
Internal Router
What type of router is a router that has at lease one interface that is attaced to a non-OSPF network?
Autonomous System Boundary Router
