Q

Which three statements describe features of the OSPF topology table? (Choose three.)

It is a link-state database that represents the network topology.
Its contents are the result of running the SPF algorithm.
When converged, all routers in an area have identical topology tables.
The topology table contains feasible successor routes.
The table can be viewed via the show ip ospf database command.
After convergence, the table only contains the lowest cost route entries for all known networks.
