Q

What are six [6] features of OSPF

A
  1. Classless - supports VLSM & CIDR.
  2. Efficient – triggered updates (not periodic), uses SPF.
  3. Fast convergence
  4. Scalable
  5. Secure - supports encrypted updates when config’d
  6. AD = 110

Q

What are four [4] data structures of the OSPF

A
  1. Creates & maintains three DBs:
  2. Adjacency DB -> neighbor table
  3. Link-state DB (LSDB) -> topology table
  4. Forwarding DB -> routing table
