OSPF Protocol Quiz

What is a function of OSPF hello packets?

• to send specifically requested link-state records

• to discover neighbors and build adjacencies between them

• to ensure database synchronization between routers

• to request specific link-state records from neighbor routers

Which OPSF packet contains the different types of link-state advertisements?

• hello

• DBD

• LSR

• LSU

• LSAck

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

• The table can be viewed via the show ip ospf database command.

• The topology table contains feasible successor routes.

• When converged, all routers in an area have identical topology tables.

• Its contents are the result of running the SPF algorithm.

• It is a link-state database that represents the network topology.

What does an OSPF area contain?

• AD

• routers that share the same router ID

• routers whose SPF trees are identical

• routers that have the same link-state information in their LSDBs

• routers that share the same process ID

What is used to facilitate hierarchical routing in OSPF?

• the use of multiple areas

• frequent SPF calculations

• autosummarization

• the election of designated routers

Which OSPF data structure is identical on all OSPF routers that share the same area?

• forwarding database

• link-state database

• adjacency database

• routing table

Which step does an OSPF-enabled router take immediately after establishing an adjacency with another router?

• AD

• builds the topology table

• exchanges link-state advertisements

• chooses the best path

• executes the SPF algorithm

A network engineer has manually configured the hello interval to 15 seconds on an interface of a router that is running OSPFv2. By default, how will the dead interval on the interface be affected?

• The dead interval will not change from the default value.

• The dead interval will now be 30 seconds.

• The dead interval will now be 60 seconds.

• The dead interval will now be 15 seconds.

Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator has configured the OSPF timers to the values that are shown in the graphic. What is the result of having those manually configured timers?

• AD

• R1 automatically adjusts its own timers to match the R2 timers.

• The R1 dead timer expires between hello packets from R2.

• The hello timer on R2 expires every ten seconds.

• The neighbor adjacency has formed.

To establish a neighbor adjacency two OSPF routers will exchange hello packets. Which two values in the hello packets must match on both routers? (Choose two.)

• dead interval

• router priority

• list of neighbors

• router ID

• hello interval
