Q

True or False:

A

False

They both use hello, DBD, LSR, LSU and LSAck packets

23
Q

True or False:

OSPFv2 and OPSFv3 both use the same function and election process to elect the DR and BDR

24
Q

What is the FF02::5 OSPFv3 multicast address used for?

A

All routers multicast

25
Q

What is the FF02::6 OSPFv3 multicast address used for?

A

DR/BDR multicast updates

26
Q

Once adjacencies have been formed, OSPF will then start sending these out

A

DBD Packets (Database Description Packets)

27
Q

A router will send out and listen for these when OSPF is enabled on an interface

A

OSPF Hello Packets

28
Q

If a router is missing information about any of the networks it received in the DBD, it will send the neighbor one of these

A

LSR (Link State Request)

29
Q

These packets contain routing updates

A

LSA (Link State Advertisement)

29
Q

These packets contain a list of Link State Advertisements (LSAs) which should be updated and that will be used during flooding

A

LSU (Link State Update)

29
Q

This is a routers response to a Link State Request (LSR) asking for more information

A

Link State Advertisement (LSA)

29
Q

Scenario: If a new link was added to the network or if a link went down and new information needs to get flooded everywhere so all routers can know about it this type of packet would be processed

A

LSU (Link State Update)

29
Q

Receiving routers acknowledge Link State Advertisements (LSA) through these types of packets

A

LSAck (Link State Acknowledgement)

29
Q

OSPF sends Hello Packets using Broadcast

A

False. Hello Packets use Multicast

29
Q

What are the 6 Steps / Characteristics of OSPF?

A
  1. Discover Neighbors
  2. Form Adjacencies
  3. Flood the Link State Database
  4. Compute the Shortest Path
  5. Install the Best Routes Into The Routing Table
  6. Respond to Network Changes
30
Q

What will happen if a router running OSPF has 2 interfaces with different Process IDs?

A

It will not share information about it’s routes with either side of the link due to separate Link State Databases

32
Q

Does the network command in OSPF default to the classful boundary?

A

No. That’s one of the differences between OSPF and EIGRP

33
Q

Do you have to enter a wildcard mask in OSPF?

34
Q

If a network contained routers with interfaces such as:

10.1.0.1/24
10.0.1.1/24
10.0.2.1/24

And you configured a network command for OSPF as:

network 10.0.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 0

What networks would get advertised in the routing table?

A

10.0.1.0/24
10.0.2.0/24

10.1.0.0 would not be advertised because it doesn’t match the 10.0.X.X space that the network command is looking for.

35
Q

What is the chief characteristic of an ABR?

A

It separates the LSA Flooding Zones

36
Q

Routers which have all of their OSPF interfaces in an area and are not in a backbone are considered what?

A

Normal Area Routers

37
Q

How do Normal Area Routers learn their routes

A

From the ABRs

38
Q

This type of router redistributes routes from different routing protocols into OSPF Normal Area Routers

A

Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR)

39
Q

What are the general steps for Neighbor State Summary?

A
  1. Down - No active neighbor detected
  2. Initilialization - Hello packets sent and received by neighbors
  3. 2 WAY - Bi-Directional communication. Can see it’s own router ID received in Hello packets
  4. Exstart - Primary and secondary roles determined
  5. Exchange - DBD packets sent
  6. Loading - Exchange of LSRs and LSU (With LSAs within the LSU)
  7. Full - Neighbors full adjacent
40
Q

What is the default Hello interval?

A

10 Seconds

41
Q

What is the default Dead interval?

A

40 Seconds

42
Q

What settings must be matched for a pair of OSPF routers to form an adjacency?

A
  • They must be in each other’s neighbor list
  • Hello & Dead Intervals
  • Area ID
  • IP Subnet
  • Authentication Flag
  • Stub Area Flag
  • MTU and MTU IP Size
43
Q

What does an OSPF Packet look like?

A
  • Version of OSPF
  • Packet Type
  • Packet Length
  • Router ID
  • Area ID
  • Checksum
  • Auth Type
  • Authentication
  • Data
44
Q

How does a DR get elected?

A

It has the highest priority. In which case either the Router ID is the highest or it’s been manually to set to have a higher OSPF priority on the interface.

  1. Manual priority check first
  2. Highest configured router id
  3. highest loopback address
  4. highest IP address
45
Q

In what OSPF stage do routers get elected?

A

The Two Way Stage

46
Q

What the is the default priority on OSPF routers?

47
Q

What states are two DROTHERS considered be in?

A

A Two Way State

48
Q

What is a characteristic of link state protocols?

classful
timer-based routing updates
event-triggered routing updates
composite metric

A

event-triggered routing updates
