Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation

1. What is used to facilitate hierarchical routing in OSPF?

o autosummarization
o the use of multiple areas
o frequent SPF calculations
o the election of designated routers
Answers Explanation & Hints:
OSPF supports the concept of areas to prevent larger routing tables, excessive SPF
calculations, and large LSDBs. Only routers within an area share link-state
information. This allows OSPF to scale in a hierarchical fashion with all areas that
connect to a backbone area.

2. What is a benefit of multiarea OSPF routing?

o Topology changes in one area do not cause SPF recalculations in other areas.
o Automatic route summarization occurs by default between areas.
o Routers in all areas share the same link-state database and have a complete picture
of the entire network.
o A backbone area is not required.
Answers Explanation & Hints:
With multiarea OSPF, only routers within an area share the same link-state
database. Changes to the network topology in one area do not impact other areas,
which reduces the number of SPF algorithm calculations and the of link-state
databases.

3. Which OSPF data structure is identical on all OSPF routers that

share the same area?

o adjacency database
o link-state database
o routing table
o forwarding database
Answers Explanation & Hints:
Regardless of which OSPF area a router resides in, the adjacency database, routing
table, and forwarding database are unique for each router. The link-state database
lists information about all other routers within an area and is identical across all
OSPF routers participating in that area.

4. Which step does an OSPF-enabled router take immediately after

establishing an adjacency with another router?

o chooses the best path

o builds the topology table
o executes the SPF algorithm
o exchanges link-state advertisements
 Answers Explanation & Hints:
The OSPF operation steps are as follows:

A. Establish neighbor adjacencies

B. Exchange link-state advertisements
C. Build the topology table
D. Execute the SPF algorithm
E. Choose the best route
5. 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?

o The dead interval will now be 15 seconds.

o The dead interval will now be 30 seconds.
o The dead interval will now be 60 seconds.
o The dead interval will not change from the default value.
Answers Explanation & Hints:
Cisco IOS automatically modifies the dead interval to four times the hello interval.

6. 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?

CCNA3 v7 – ENSA – Modules 1 –

2 OSPF Concepts and Configuration Exam Answers 01
o The R1 dead timer expires between hello packets from R2.
o R1 automatically adjusts its own timers to match the R2 timers.
o The hello timer on R2 expires every ten seconds.
o The neighbor adjacency has formed.
Answers Explanation & Hints:
The dead timer (20 seconds) on R1 expires before the next hello packet from R2
(25 seconds).

7. Match each OSPF packet type to how it is used by a router. (Not

all options are used.)
 CCNA3 v7 – ENSA – Modules 1 – 2 OSPF Concepts and Configuration Exam Answers 001
8. 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.)

o router ID
o hello interval
o dead interval
o router priority
o list of neighbors
Answers Explanation & Hints:
The hello and dead interval timers contained in a hello packet must be the same on
neighboring routers in order to form an adjacency.

9. What is the default router priority value for all Cisco OSPF
routers?

o 0
o 1
o 10
o 255
Answers Explanation & Hints:
The router priority value is used in a DR/BDR election. The default priority for all
OSPF routers is 1 but it can be manually altered to any value 0 to 255.

10. 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?

o link-state update
o link-state request
o database description
o link-state acknowledgment
Answers Explanation & Hints:
The database description (DBD) packet contains an abbreviated list of the LSDB
sent by a neighboring router and is used by receiving routers to check against the
local LSDB.

11. Match the OSPF state with the order in which it occurs. (Not all
options are used.)
 CCNA3 v7 – ENSA – Modules 1 – 2 OSPF Concepts and Configuration Exam Answers 002
Answers Explanation & Hints:
The active and passive states are used by EIGRP.

12. What indicates to a link-state router that a neighbor is

unreachable?

o if the router no longer receives routing updates

o if the router no longer receives hello packets
o if the router receives an update with a hop count of 16
o if the router receives an LSP with previously learned information
Answers Explanation & Hints:
OSPF routers send hello packets to monitor the state of a neighbor. When a router
stops receiving hello packets from a neighbor, that neighbor is considered
unreachable and the adjacency is broken.

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

o Init
o Down
o ExStart
o Loading
o Two-way
o Exchange
Answers Explanation & Hints:
OSPF operation progresses through 7 states for establishing neighboring router
adjacency, exchanging routing information, calculating the best routes, and
reaching convergence. The Down, Init, and Two-way states are involved in the
phase of neighboring router adjacency establishment.

14. In an OSPF network when are DR and BDR elections required?

o when all the routers in an OSPF area cannot form adjacencies

o when the two adjacent neighbors are in two different networks
o when the routers are interconnected over a common Ethernet network
o when the two adjacent neighbors are interconnected over a point-to-point link
Answers Explanation & Hints:
When the routers are interconnected over a common Ethernet network, then a
designated router (DR) and a backup DR (BDR) must be elected.

15. 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?

o every 5 minutes
o every 10 minutes
o every 30 minutes
o every 60 minutes
 Answers Explanation & Hints:
After all LSRs have been satisfied for a given router, the adjacent routers are
considered synchronized and in a full state. Updates (LSUs) are sent to neighbors
only under the following conditions:
when a network topology change is detected (incremental updates)
every 30 minutes

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

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

o a loopback interface that is configured with the highest IP address on the router
o the highest active interface IP that is configured on the router
o the highest active interface that participates in the routing process because of a
specifically configured network statement
Answers Explanation & Hints:
The first preference for an OSPF router ID is an explicitly configured 32-bit address.
This address is not included in the routing table and is not defined by the network
command. If a router ID that is configured through the router-id command is not
available, OSPF routers next use the highest IP address available on a loopback
interface, as loopbacks used as router IDs are also not routable addresses. Lacking
either of these alternatives, an OSPF router will use the highest IP address from its
active physical interfaces.

17. What are the two purposes of an OSPF router ID? (Choose
two.)

o to facilitate the establishment of network convergence

o to uniquely identify the router within the OSPF domain
o to facilitate the transition of the OSPF neighbor state to Full
o to facilitate router participation in the election of the designated router
o to enable the SPF algorithm to determine the lowest cost path to remote networks
Answers Explanation & Hints:
OSPF router ID does not contribute to SPF algorithm calculations, nor does it
facilitate the transition of the OSPF neighbor state to Full. Although the router ID is
contained within OSPF messages when router adjacencies are being established, it
has no bearing on the actual convergence process.

18. Refer to the exhibit. If no router ID was manually configured,

what would router Branch1 use as its OSPF router ID?
 CCNA3 v7 –
ENSA – Modules 1 – 2 OSPF Concepts and Configuration Exam Answers 03
o 10.0.0.1
o 10.1.0.1
o 192.168.1.100
o 209.165.201.1
Answers Explanation & Hints:
In OSPFv2, a Cisco router uses a three-tier method to derive its router ID. The first
choice is the manually configured router ID with the router-id command. If the
router ID is not manually configured, the router will choose the highest IPv4 address
of the configured loopback interfaces. Finally if no loopback interfaces are
configured, the router chooses the highest active IPv4 address of its physical
interfaces.

19. A network technician issues the following commands when

configuring a router:

20. R1(config)# router ospf 11

R1(config-router)# network 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
What does the number 11 represent?

o the autonomous system number to which R1 belongs

o the area number where R1 is located
o the cost of the link to R1
o the OSPF process ID on R1
o the administrative distance that is manually assigned to R1
Answers Explanation & Hints:
There is no autonomous system number to configure on OSPF. The area number is
located at the end of the network statement. The cost of a link can be modified in
the interface configuration mode. The process ID is local to the router.

21. An OSPF router has three directly connected networks;

172.16.0.0/16, 172.16.1.0/16, and 172.16.2.0/16. Which OSPF
network command would advertise only the 172.16.1.0 network
to neighbors?
 o router(config-router)# network 172.16.1.0 0.0.255.255 area 0
o router(config-router)# network 172.16.0.0 0.0.15.255 area 0
o router(config-router)# network 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0 area 0
o router(config-router)# network 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.0 area 0
Answers Explanation & Hints:
To advertise only the 172.16.1.0/24 network the wildcard mask used in the network
command must match the first 24-bits exactly. To match bits exactly, a wildcard
mask uses a binary zero. This means that the first 24-bits of the wildcard mask
must be zero. The low order 8-bits can all be set to 1.

22. Which command will a network engineer issue to verify the

configured hello and dead timer intervals on a point-to-point WAN
link between two routers that are running OSPFv2?

o show ip ospf neighbor

o show ip ospf interface serial 0/0/0
o show ipv6 ospf interface serial 0/0/0
o show ip ospf interface fastethernet 0/1
Answers Explanation & Hints:
The show ip ospf interface serial 0/0/0 command will display the configured hello
and dead timer intervals on a point-to-point serial WAN link between two OSPFv2
routers. The show ipv6 ospf interface serial 0/0/0 command will display the
configured hello and dead timer intervals on a point-to-point serial link between two
OSPFv3 routers. The show ip ospf interface fastethernet 0/1 command will display
the configured hello and dead timer intervals on a multiaccess link between two (or
more) OSPFv2 routers. The show ip ospf neighbor command will display the dead
interval elapsed time since the last hello message was received, but does not show
the configured value of the timer.

23. 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.)
 CCNA3 v7
– ENSA – Modules 1 – 2 OSPF Concepts and Configuration Exam Answers 02
o R2 will be elected DR.
o R1 will be elected BDR.
o R3 will be elected BDR.
o The R4 router ID is 172.16.1.1.
o The R4 FastEthernet 0/0 priority is 128.
o The router ID on R2 is the loopback interface.
Answers Explanation & Hints:
R2 will be elected DR because it has the highest priority of 255, all of the others
have a priority of 1. R3 will be elected BDR because it has the numerically highest
router-ID of 192.168.1.4. The R4 router-ID is 172.16.1.1 because it is the IPv4
address attached to the loopback 0 interface.

24. 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?
 CCNA3 v7 – ENSA – Modules 1 – 2 OSPF Concepts and Configuration Exam Answers 09
o Router A will become the DR and router D will become the BDR.
o If the DR fails, the new DR will be router B.
o If a new router with a higher priority is added to this network, it will become the DR.
o If the priority of router C is changed to 255, then it will become the DR.
Answers Explanation & Hints:
If the priority is set to 0, the router is not capable of becoming the DR, so router A
cannot be the DR. OSPF DR and BDR elections are not preemptive. If a new router
with a higher priority or higher router ID is added to the network after the DR and
BDR election, the newly added router does not take over the DR or the BDR role.

25. 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?
 CCNA3 v7 –
ENSA – Modules 1 – 2 OSPF Concepts and Configuration Exam Answers 04
o Router R4 will become the DR and router R1 will become the BDR.
o Router R2 will become the DR and router R3 will become the BDR.
o Router R1 will become the DR and router R2 will become the BDR.
o Router R4 will become the DR and router R3 will become the BDR.
Answers Explanation & Hints:
OSPF elections of a DR are based on the following in order of precedence:highest
pritority from 1 -255 (0 = never a DR)
highest router ID
highest IP address of a loopback or active interface in the absence of a manually
configured router ID. Loopback IP addresses take higher precedence than other
interfaces.
In this case routers R4 and R1 have the highest router priority. Between the two, R3
has the higher router ID. Therefore, R4 will become the DR and R1 will become the
BDR.

26. By default, what is the OSPF cost for any link with a bandwidth
of 100 Mb/s or greater?

o 1
o 100
o 10000
o 100000000
Answers Explanation & Hints:
OSPF uses the formula: Cost = 100,000,000 / bandwidth. Because OSPF will only
use integers as cost, any bandwidth of 100 Mb/s or greater will all equal a cost of 1.

27. Refer to the exhibit. What is the OSPF cost to reach the router
A LAN 172.16.1.0/24 from B?
 CCNA3 v7 – ENSA – Modules 1
– 2 OSPF Concepts and Configuration Exam Answers 05
o 782
o 74
o 128
o 65
Answers Explanation & Hints:
The formula used to calculate the OSPF cost is as follows:

Cost = reference bandwidth / interface bandwidth

The default reference bandwidth is 10^8 (100,000,000); therefore, the formula is

Cost = 100,000,000 bps / interface bandwidth in bps

Thus the cost to reach the A LAN 172.16.1.0/24 from B is as follows:

Serial link (1544 Kbps) from B to A cost => 100,000,000 / 1,544,000 = 64
Gigabit Ethernet link on A cost => 100,000,000 / 1,000,000,000 = 1
Total cost to reach 172.16.1.0/24 = 64 + 1 = 65

28. 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?
 CCNA3 v7 – ENSA – Modules 1 – 2
OSPF Concepts and Configuration Exam Answers 06
o ISP
o R0-A
o ISP and R0-A
o R0-A, R0-B, and R0-C
o R0-B and R0-C
o ISP, R0-A, R0-B, and R0-C
Answers Explanation & Hints:
The default route is applied to the router that connects to the Internet, or R0-A. R0-
A then distributes that default route using the OSPF routing protocol.

29. What command would be used to determine if a routing

protocol-initiated relationship had been made with an adjacent
router?

o ping
o show ip protocols
o show ip ospf neighbor
o show ip interface brief
Answers Explanation & Hints:
While the show ip interface brief and ping commands can be used to determine if
Layer 1, 2, and 3 connectivity exists, neither command can be used to determine if
a particular OSPF or EIGRP-initiated relationship has been made. The show ip
protocols command is useful in determining the routing parameters such as timers,
router ID, and metric information associated with a specific routing protocol. The
show ip ospf neighbor command shows if two adjacent routers have exchanged
OSPF messages in order to form a neighbor relationship.

30. Refer to the exhibit. Which command did an administrator

issue to produce this output?
 CCNA3 v7 –
ENSA – Modules 1 – 2 OSPF Concepts and Configuration Exam Answers 07
o R1# show ip ospf
o R1# show ip ospf neighbor
o R1# show ip ospf interface serial0/0/1
o R1# show ip route ospf
31. Which command is used to verify that OSPF is enabled and also
provides a list of the networks that are being advertised by the
network?

o show ip protocols
o show ip ospf interface
o show ip interface brief
o show ip route ospf
Answers Explanation & Hints:
The command show ip ospf interface verifies the active OSPF interfaces. The
command show ip interface brief is used to check that the interfaces are
operational. The command show ip route ospf displays the entries that are learned
via OSPF in the routing table. The command show ip protocol s checks that OSPF is
enabled and lists the networks that are advertised.

32. 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?
 CCNA3 v7 –
ENSA – Modules 1 – 2 OSPF Concepts and Configuration Exam Answers 08
o Interface S0/0 is configured as a passive-interface on router R2.
o Interface s0/0 has not been activated for OSPFv2 on router R2.
o Interface Fa0/0 is configured as a passive-interface on router R2.
o Interface Fa0/0 has not been activated for OSPFv2 on router R2.
Answers Explanation & Hints:
If a LAN network is not advertised using OSPFv2, a remote network will not be
reachable. The output displays a successful neighbor adjacency between router R1
and R2 on the interface S0/0 of both routers.

33. 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?

o Use the highest IP address assigned to an active interface participating in the routing
process.
o Configure a value using the router-id command.
o Use the highest active interface IP address that is configured on the router.
o Use a loopback interface configured with the highest IP address on the router.
Answers Explanation & Hints:
A Cisco router is assigned a router ID to uniquely identify it. It can be automatically
assigned and take the value of the highest configured IP address on any interface,
the value of a specifically-configured loopback address, or the value assigned
(which is in the exact form of an IP address) using the router-id command. Cisco
recommends using the router-id command.
34. Which step in the link-state routing process is described by a
router running an algorithm to determine the best path to each
destination?

o executing the SPF algorithm

o choosing the best route
o load balancing equal-cost paths
o declaring a neighbor to be inaccessible

to uniquely identify a router among OSPF peers.

55. Match the description to the term. (Not all options are used.)
 CCNA3 v7 – ENSA – Modules 1 – 2 OSPF Concepts and Configuration Exam Answers 003
Answers Explanation & Hints:
DUAL is the algorithm used by EIGRP. In multiarea OSPF, OSPF is implemented using
multiple areas, and all of them must be connected to the backbone area.

56. After modifying the router ID on an OSPF router, what is the

preferred method to make the new router ID effective?

o HQ# copy running-config startup-config

o HQ# clear ip ospf process
o HQ# clear ip route *
o HQ# resume
Answers Explanation & Hints:
To modify a router-id on an OSPF-enabled router, it is necessary to reset the OSPF
routing process by entering either the clear ip ospf process command or the reload
command.

57. In an OSPFv2 configuration, what is the effect of entering the

command network 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 0 ?

o It changes the router ID of the router to 192.168.1.1.

o It enables OSPF on all interfaces on the router.
o It tells the router which interface to turn on for the OSPF routing process.
o It allows all 192.168.1.0 networks to be advertised.
Answers Explanation & Hints:
Entering the command network 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 0 will turn on only the
interface with that IP address for OSPF routing. It does not change the router ID.
Instead, OSPF will use the network that is configured on that interface.

58. What is the reason for a network engineer to alter the default
reference bandwidth parameter when configuring OSPF?

o to more accurately reflect the cost of links greater than 100 Mb/s
o to increase the speed of the link
o to force that specific link to be used in the destination route
o to enable the link for OSPF routing
Answers Explanation & Hints:
By default, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces all have a cost
of 1. Altering the default reference bandwidth alters the cost calculation, allowing
each speed to be more accurately reflected in the cost.

59. Open the PT Activity. Perform the tasks in the activity

instructions and then answer the question.

Which task has to be performed on Router 1 for it to establish an

OSPF adjacency with Router 2?

o Issue the clear ip ospf process command.

o Remove the passive interface command from interface FastEthernet 0/0.
o Add the network 10.0.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0 command to the OSPF process.
o Change the subnet mask of interface FastEthernet 0/0 to 255.255.255.0.
Answers Explanation & Hints:
Each interface on the link connecting the OSPF routers must be in the same subnet
for an adjacency to be established. The IP address subnet mask on FastEthernet
interface 0/0 must be changed to 255.255.255.0. The FastEthernet interface 0/0 is
not passive. The 10.0.1.0/24 network is only connected to Router2 so should not be
advertised by Router1. The clear ip ospf process command will start the OPSF
process on Router1 but will not cause an adjacency to be established if the subnet
mask mismatch on the connecting interfaces still exists.
