25
Identify the OSPF State, and what will happen next 1. On Ethernet links, elect DR and BDR
2-way, transition to ExStart
26
Identify the OSPF State, and what will happen next 1. Negotiate Master/Slave relationship 2. Negotiate DBD sequence number 3. Initiate DBD packet transmission
ExStart, transition to Exchange
27
Identify the OSPF State, and what will happen next 1. Exchange of DBD packets
Exchange State. If additional router information is required, transition to Loading. Otherwise, transition to Full
28
Identify the OSPF State, and what will happen next 1. LSRs and LSUs used to gain additional route information 2. Routes are processed using SPF
Loading. Transition to Full
29
Identify the OSPF State, and what will happen next 1. Routers have reached convergence
Full State (routers have reached convergence)
30
What determining factor will allow a router too transition from the Init State to the 2-way state?
Receiving a hello packet that includes its own router ID
31
Two routers on a common Ethernet network link exchange Hello packets and reach the 2-way state. What process must occur next?
DR/BDR election
32
What influences which devices will become DR/BDR?
Interface priority (higher is better, default 1), RouterID (higher is better)
33
What is the purpose of the DR?
Minimization of adjacencies and LSA flooding. The DR becomes the collection and dissemination point for LSAs. The BDR also collects LSAs in case in ends of becoming the DR.
34
What formula is used to calculate the potential number of adjacencies in a multiaccess broadcast network?
n (n-1) / 2
35
Two OSPF routers have reached the ExStart state. Which router will begin the process of exchanging DBD packets?
The one with the highest router ID
36
What is contained within DBD packets?
Summary information of the sending routers LSDB
37
Two routers in the Exchange state are exchanging DBDs. Router 1 notices that 1 entry has a more current Link-state entry. What happens next?
R1 transitions to Loading State, and sends an LSR to R2 asking for complete information regarding that entry. R2 responds with an LSU. R1 sends LSAck to R2 confirming receipt.
38
How often are LSUs sent to neighbors?
1. When a topology change is received | 2. Every 30 minutes
39
How does an OSPF router determine its RID?
1. Explicit configuration 2. Highest IP address of any configured loopbacks 3. Highest IP address of any configured interfaces
40
What formula is used to calculate OSPF cost
Cost=Reference Bandwidth / Interface bandwidth (in bps)
41
What is the default reference value bandwith
100,000,000 bps (100Mb)
42
What is the default OSPF cost of a fast ethernet link?
1
43
What is the default OSPF cost of an Ethernet (10mb) link

44
What is the default OSPF cost of a 1.544Mbps serial link
64
45

identical
47

Backbone routers
48
An OSPF router with interfaces attached to multiple areas
Area Border Routers
49

Autonomous System Boundary Router
50
Another name for a Type 1 LSA
router link entry
51
Another name for a Type 2 LSA
network link entry
52
Another name for Type 3 and Type 4 LSAs
summary LSA
53
What is the purpose of a type 1 LSA?
Advertisement of directly-connected links
54
What is contained in a type 1 LSA
directly connected interfaces, link types, neighbors, link states
55
Where are Type 1 LSA flooded?
Only within their area of origin (ABRs advertise networks learned via Type 1 LSAs to other areas as Type 3 LSAs)
56
How are Type 1 LSA link IDs identified
by the router ID of the originating router
57
What is the purpose of a Type 2 LSA
To inform other routers about multiaccess networks in the same area
58
What is contained within a Type 2 LSA
Router ID and IP of the DR, and router IDs of all other routers on the multiaccess segment
59
Where are Type 2 LSA flooded?
Only within their area of origin
60
What is the link state ID of a Type 2 LSA?
Interface IP address of the DR that advertises it
61
What is the purpose of a Type 3 LSA?
Used by ABRs to advertise networks from other areas
62
What is the link-state ID of a Type 3 LSA?
The advertised network number and mask
63
A router receives a Type 3 LSA from an ABR. Will the SPF algorithm be required?
No. SPF calculations are only performed on advertisements within the same area
64
What is the purpose of a Type 4 LSA?
Identification and advertisement of ASBR routers
65
An ABR receives a Type 1 LSA with the "e bit" set. What happens next?
The ABR notices the "e bit", which means the sending router has identified itself as an ASBR. The ABR must notify other areas that the ASBR exists. The ABR floods that advertisement to the backbone via a Type 4 LSA. The backbone propagates that Type 4 LSA to other areas, alerting them to existence of that ASBR.
66
What is the link-state ID of a Type 4 LSA?
The router ID of the ASBR
67
What is the purpose of a Type 5 LSA?
Describes routes to networks outside the OSPF routing domain
68
How are Type 5 LSAs propagated?
Type 5 LSAs are originated by the ASBR and flooded to the entire routing domain
69
A routing table entry lists a routing table code of "O" for a specific OSPF route. What LSA Type ultimately produced this entry in the routing table?
Type 1 or type 2
70
A routing table entry lists a routing table code of "O IA" for a specific OSPF route. What LSA Type ultimately produced this entry in the routing table?
Type 3
71
A routing table entry lists a routing table code of "O E1" or "O E2" for a specific OSPF route. What LSA Type ultimately produced this entry in the routing table?
Type 5
72
Each router uses the SPF algorithm to against the LSDB to build the OSPF tree. The SPF tree is used to determine the bas path(s) to add to the routing table. In what order are these best paths calculated?
1. Intra-area routes 2. Inter-area routes 3. External routes
