OSPF Questions
|
Quick OSPF Overview OSPF router ID selection: OSPF uses the following criteria to select the router ID: OSPF forms neighbor relationship with other OSPF routers on the same segment by exchanging hello packets. The hello packets contain various parameters. Some of them should match between neighboring routers. These include: + Hello and Dead intervals When OSPF neighbor relationship is formed, a router goes through several state changes before it becomes fully adjacent with its neighbor. The states are Down -> Attempt (optional) -> Init -> 2-Way -> Exstart -> Exchange -> Loading -> Full. Short descriptions about these states are listed below: Down: no information (hellos) has been received from this neighbor Attempt: only valid for manually configured neighbors in an NBMA environment. In Attempt state, the router sends unicast hello packets every poll interval to the neighbor, from which hellos have not been received within the dead interval Init: specifies that the router has received a hello packet from its neighbor, but the receiving router’s ID was not included in the hello packet 2-Way: indicates bi-directional communication has been established between two routers Exstart: Once the DR and BDR are elected, the actual process of exchanging link state information can start between the routers and their DR and BDR Exchange: OSPF routers exchange and compare database descriptor (DBD) packets Loading: In this state, the actual exchange of link state information occurs. Outdated or missing entries are also requested to be resent Full: routers are fully adjacent with each other When OSPF is run on a network, two important events happen before routing information is exchanged: In an NBMA network topology, which is inherently nonbroadcast, neighbors are not discovered automatically. OSPF tries to elect a DR and a BDR due to the multi-access nature of the network, but the election fails since neighbors are not discovered. Neighbors must be configured manually to overcome these problems Each OSPF area only allows some specific LSAs to pass through. Below is a summarization of which LSAs are allowed in each OSPF area:
OSPF Summarization 1) To summarize routes at the area boundary (ABRs), use the command: An internal summary route is generated if at least one subnet within the area falls in the summary address range and the summarized route metric is equal to the lowest cost of all the subnets within the summary address range. Interarea summarization can only be done for the intra-area routes of connected areas, and the ABR creates a route to Null0 to avoid loops in the absence of more specific routes. 2) To summarize external routes on the domain boundary (ASBRs), use the command: Note: An exception of using the “summary-address” is at the boundary of a NSSA area. In both methods of route summarization described above, a summarized route is only generated if at least one subnet in the routing table falls in the summary address range. |
Question 1
Explanation
LSA Type 7 is generated by an ASBR inside a Not So Stubby Area (NSSA) to describe routes redistributed into the NSSA. LSA 7 is translated into LSA 5 as it leaves the NSSA. These routes appear as N1 or N2 in the routing table inside the NSSA. Much like LSA 5, N2 is a static cost while N1 is a cumulative cost that includes the cost upto the ASBR -> LSA Type 7 only exists in an NSSA area.
Question 2
Question 3
Explanation
Answer B is not correct because using “passive-interface” command on ASW1 & ASW2 does not prevent DSW1 & DSW2 from sending routing updates to two access layer switches.
Question 4
Explanation
From the output above, we see the following LSAs:
+ Router Link States (Area 0): LSA Type 1 (Area 0)
+ Net Link States (Area 0): LSA Type 2 (Area 0)
+ Summary Net Link States (Area 0): LSA Type 3 (Area 0)
+ Router link States (Area 4): LSA Type 1 (Area 4)
+ Net Link States (Area 4): LSA Type 2 (Area 4)
+ Summary Net Link States (Area 4): LSA Type 3 (Area 4)
There are two areas represented on this router, which are Area 0 & Area 4. So we conclude this is an ABR router.
Just for your information, from the Router Link States (Area 0) part, we only see one entry 15.15.15.33. It is both the Link ID and ADV Router so we can conclude this is an IP address of one of the interfaces on the local router.
Question 5
Question 6
Questions 7
Explanation
When OSPF is run on a network, two important events happen before routing information is exchanged:
+ Neighbors are discovered using multicast hello packets.
+ DR and BDR are elected for every multi-access network to optimize the adjacency building process. All the routers in that segment should be able to communicate directly with the DR and BDR for proper adjacency (in the case of a point-to-point network, DR and BDR are not necessary since there are only two routers in the segment, and hence the election does not take place).
For a successful neighbor discovery on a segment, the network must allow broadcasts or multicast packets to be sent.
In an NBMA network topology, which is inherently nonbroadcast, neighbors are not discovered automatically. OSPF tries to elect a DR and a BDR due to the multi-access nature of the network, but the election fails since neighbors are not discovered. Neighbors must be configured manually to overcome these problems -> C is not correct while D is correct.
In Point-to-Multipoint network: This is a collection of point-to-point links between various devices on a segment. These networks also allow broadcast or multicast packets to be sent over the network. These networks can represent the multi-access segment as multiple point-to-point links that connect all the devices on the segment. -> A is correct.
Question 8
Explanation
OSPF forms neighbor relationship with other OSPF routers on the same segment by exchanging hello packets. The hello packets contain various parameters. Some of them should match between neighboring routers. These include:
+ Hello and Dead intervals
+ Area ID
+ Authentication type and password
+ Stub Area flag
+ Subnet ID and Subnet mask
So there are three correct answers in this question. Maybe in the exam you will see only two correct answers.
Question 9
Explanation
Let’s have a quick review of LSAs Type 4 & 5:
Summary ASBR LSA (Type 4) – Generated by the ABR to describe an ASBR to routers in other areas so that routers in other areas know how to get to external routes through that ASBR. For example, suppose R8 is redistributing external route (EIGRP, RIP…) to R3. This makes R3 an Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR). When R2 (which is an ABR) receives this LSA Type 1 update, R2 will create LSA Type 4 and flood into Area 0 to inform them how to reach R3. When R5 receives this LSA it also floods into Area 2.
In the above example, the only ASBR belongs to area 1 so the two ABRs send LSA Type 4 to area 0 & area 2 (not vice versa). This is an indication of the existence of the ASBR in area 1.
Note:
+ Type 4 LSAs contain the router ID of the ASBR.
+ There are no LSA Type 4 injected into Area 1 because every router inside area 1 knows how to reach R3. R3 only uses LSA Type 1 to inform R2 about R8 and inform R2 that R3 is an ASBR.
External Link LSA (LSA 5) – Generated by ASBR to describe routes redistributed into the area and point the destination for these external routes to the ASBR. These routes appear as O E1 or O E2 in the routing table. In the topology below, R3 generates LSAs Type 5 to describe the external routes redistributed from R8 and floods them to all other routers and tell them “hey, if you want to reach these external routes, send your packets to me!”. But other routers will ask “how can I reach you? You didn’t tell me where you are in your LSA Type 5!”. And that is what LSA Type 4 do – tell other routers in other areas where the ASBR is!
Each OSPF area only allows some specific LSAs to pass through. Below is a summarization of which LSAs are allowed in each OSPF area:
| Area | Restriction |
| Normal | None |
| Stub | No Type 5 AS-external LSA allowed |
| Totally Stub | No Type 3, 4 or 5 LSAs allowed except the default summary route |
| NSSA | No Type 5 AS-external LSAs allowed, but Type 7 LSAs that convert to Type 5 at the NSSA ABR can traverse |
| NSSA Totally Stub | No Type 3, 4 or 5 LSAs except the default summary route, but Type 7 LSAs that convert to Type 5 at the NSSA ABR are allowed |
Reference: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/open-shortest-path-first-ospf/13703-8.html
Therefore there are two OSPF areas that prevent LSAs Type 4 & 5: Totally Stub & NSSA Totally Stub areas
For Question 7 , the listed answer is A and D but the Explanation as given in the “Link” is seem to be C and D.
Based on the reference book, manually config. (discover) neighbor is needed for 1) the Point-to-multipoint (non-broadcast) and 2) NBMA (or Frame relay). This question has to be read very carefully – as stated ” C is not correct while D is correct”.
Q9. Stub areas do not receive type 4 LSA’s either, so answers should be B,C and F.

Thanks in advance!!
DO NOT USE http://www.myexamcollection.com/ ITS A FAKE
Agree with 1Way. Stubby areas (stubby or nssa) do not forward Type 4 LSA because they are meaningless without Type 5 LSA. I don’t understand why the answers aren’t A, B, C, and F, with the best two being A and C since they restrict ONLY Type 4 and Type 5 LSA.
Hi, new questions I have.
Which three restrictions apply to OSPF stub areas? (Choose three)?
A. No virtual links are allowed.
B. The area cannot be a backbone area.
C. Redistributions not allowed unless the packet is changed to a type 7 packet.
D. The area has no more then 10 routers.
E. No autonomous system border routers are allowed.
F. Interarea routers are supressed.
What are the answers? ABC or ABE or maybe BCE ?
HI Exam soon i think the answer is ABE b/c -Routers inside stub areas cannot redistribute external routes into the stubby area, because that would require a Type 5 LSA in the area.(not type 7 LSA)
According to this post (http://packetlife.net/blog/2008/jun/24/ospf-area-types/), Q9 is wrong. There is no LSA’s type 4 or 5 in Stub, Totally Stub, NSSA nor Tottally NSSA area. Am I missing something in that question?
Thanks

@digitaltut
I’m confused with Q9, agree with @Shannon. From my understanding, stuby, totally stubby, NSSA and NSSA totally stub won’t accept external routes. So no LSA 4 and 5 in any case.
Maybe we can think as NSSA and NSSA totally stub generating LSA4 which ABR converts to LSA5 in normal areas, so maybe the best answer would be B and C??? (stub and totally stub).
Where i can find the question
@born2learn you can see the questions by paying for 1 month subscription, it’s 12$. I think it’s worth it. Also you have quizzes and simulations included.

For the question 3, the answer is C but why is not A. If i put all the interface in passive-interface default, there is no update. What is the difference between A and C?
@ab in case “A” the neighborship between the Core and the Distribution layer will be lost, isn’t it?
someone can help me please i wanna do the exam and i have not a new dump. if someone have a new dump CCNP R&S please send me. troco97gmail.com
I believe that question 9 is wrong too, because stub areas by default doesn’t allow LSA 4 or 5, just 1,2,3 and 7.
Q8 in other dump looks like:
Using new backup router in spite of faulty one in OSPF domain but relationship with neighbor in one interface only not working, what is the reason of this problem? (Choose two)
A. area ID mismatch
B. authentication mismatch
C. process id of OSPF not match
D. OSPF timers not match
E. MTU mismatch
Is says it’s not working “in one interface only”.
C – obviouslly incorrect
A – area settings is settings for ospf process rather than interface
B – authentication can be set up as in ospf process as an interface too
D – OSPF timers is an interface properties
E – MTU also is an interface property
So, possible answer may be D and E, because it is more plausible. Are you agree?
For Q8) Using new backup router in spite of faulty one in OSPF domain but relationship with neighbor in one interface only not working, what is the reason of this problem? (Choose two)
A. area ID mismatch
B. authentication mismatch
C. process id of OSPF not match
D. OSPF timers not match
Answer: A, D
You can read the following Cisco document for the answer. If there was an Authentication mismatch, then two Routers would not become neighbors at all (on all interfaces and not just one)

B. The area cannot be a backbone area.
C. Redistributions not allowed unless the packet is changed to a type 7 packet.
D. The area has no more then 10 routers.
E. No autonomous system border routers are allowed.
F. Interarea routers are supressed.
ABE – A and E because they defeat the purpose of stub not to carry external routes. B naturally
I passed my exam on the first attempt. with Braindumpscerts ROUTE 300-101 Dumps PDF was very user-friendly including all points of the exam course. It helped me out in an actual understanding. I got a 92% score on the exam. I would like to say thanks to Braindumpscerts.com team for the proper & satisfactory support.
Question 7
C & d is the good answer
In the poin to multipoint network no need to ad the neighbor command in ospf
Passed, it-libraries questions are still good. check the comments on this forum for the new questions since there are a couple of them posted here.
Real and effective, can be used as a reference, very effective, I hope to help you.

Actually about Q7: right answers are C and D.
A isn’t correct, because in point-to-multipoint networks use multicast for automatically finding neighbors. But non-broadcast networks type need to manually configured neighbors.

Q9
I think A, B, C and F are all correct.
DWS or DSW answer and diagram are different :D
Q7 is wrong..
point-to-multipoint doesnt need any neighbor cmd.
Q9 is jacked up..
no stub area will see type 4 or 5 ever. doesnt need to be totally even..
stub will see 1,2,3
nssa will see 1,2,3,7
totally stubby will see 1,2 and default
totally nssa will see 1,2,7 and default
sorry stub and nssa also see a default route
Q9:
the cisco link provided above does say no type 4 allowed in the totallys.. interesting.
Can someone send me pdf dump to shohel1988@yahoo dot com ?
h t t p : / / b i t . l y / 2 H o U N 3 A good site for you to study.
Q8 I think answer is: A, B
Interface command OSPF:
Router(config-if)# ip ospf 10 area 0
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/12_0s/feature/guide/ospfarea.html#wp1057303
Router(config-if)#ip ospf authentication-key c1$c0
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/open-shortest-path-first-ospf/13697-25.html
Router(config-if)#ip ospf 10 hello-interval
Router(config-if)#ip ospf 10 dead-interval
Q9
stub and tstub is correct

change the quitz please
what LSA Type has OSPF DOWN bit?
You made a mistake in the July document.
Question 30 page 16: D and E are the correct answers. A is wrong, in v3 the routing process is automatically created when the interface is enabled and configured for ospfv3!

Q9
If we take into consideration that NSSA and Totally NSSA has LSA type 7, which is just a type 5 covered by 7, that makes sense for an answer Totally Stub and Stub which is B and C.
That would explain why all Stubby Areas are there. Type 7 is the only difference.
I would go with B and C. Stubby and Totally Stubby area.
