29. What is the recommended Cisco best practice for configuring an OSPF-enabled router so that each router can be easily identified when troubleshooting routing issues?

Configure a value using the router-id command.

34. After modifying the router ID on an OSPF router, what is the preferred method to make the new router ID effective?

HQ# clear ip ospf process

43. Refer to the exhibit. Suppose that routers B, C, and D have a default priority, and router A has a priority 0. Which conclusion can be drawn from the DR/BDR election process?​

If the DR fails, the new DR will be router B.

42. Which three OSPF states are involved when two routers are forming an adjacency? (Choose three.)

Init Two-way Down

28. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator has configured OSPFv2 on the two Cisco routers but PC1 is unable to connect to PC2. What is the most likely problem?

Interface Fa0/0 has not been activated for OSPFv2 on router R2.

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

It is a link-state database that represents the network topology. When converged, all routers in an area have identical topology tables. The table can be viewed via the show ip ospf database command.

35. In an OSPFv2 configuration, what is the effect of entering the command network 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 0 ?

It tells the router which interface to turn on for the OSPF routing process.

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

LSU

24. Refer to the exhibit. On which router or routers would a default route be statically configured in a corporate environment that uses single area OSPF as the routing protocol?

R0-A

26. Refer to the exhibit. Which command did an administrator issue to produce this output?

R1# show ip ospf interface serial0/0/1

20. Refer to the exhibit. Which three statements describe the results of the OSPF election process of the topology that is shown in the exhibit? (Choose three.)

R3 will be elected BDR. The R4 router ID is 172.16.1.1. R2 will be elected DR.

21. Refer to the exhibit. If the switch reboots and all routers have to re-establish OSPF adjacencies, which routers will become the new DR and BDR?

Router R4 will become the DR and router R1 will become the BDR.

9. 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?

The R1 dead timer expires between hello packets from R2.

8. 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 now be 60 seconds.

39. What is a benefit of multiarea OSPF routing?

Topology changes in one area do not cause SPF recalculations in other areas.

32. What is the format of the router ID on an OSPF-enabled router?

a 32-bit number formatted like an IPv4 address

15. What will an OSPF router prefer to use first as a router ID?

any IP address that is configured using the router-id command

48. Which step in the link-state routing process is described by a router building a link-state database based on received LSAs?

building the topology table

54. Which step in the link-state routing process is described by a router inserting best paths into the routing table?

choosing the best route

12. Which type of OSPFv2 packet contains an abbreviated list of the LSDB of a sending router and is used by receiving routers to check against the local LSDB?

database description

10. 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 hello interval

14. When an OSPF network is converged and no network topology change has been detected by a router, how often will LSU packets be sent to neighboring routers?

every 30 minutes

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

exchanges link-state advertisements

52. Which step in the link-state routing process is described by a router flooding link-state and cost information about each directly connected link?

the use of multiple areas
