200-301 · Question #186

Refer to the exhibit. Which two statements are true about the loopback address that is configured on RouterB? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is B. It provides stability for the OSPF process on RouterB. C. It specifies that the router ID for RouterB should be 10.0.0.1.. A loopback interface never comes down even if the link is broken so it provides stability for the OSPF process (for example we use that loopback interface as the router-id). The router-ID is chosen in the order below: The highest IP address assigned to a loopback (logical) interf

Explanation

A loopback interface never comes down even if the link is broken so it provides stability for the OSPF process (for example we use that loopback interface as the router-id). The router-ID is chosen in the order below: The highest IP address assigned to a loopback (logical) interface. If a loopback interface is not defined, the highest IP address of all active router's physical interfaces will be chosen. -The loopback interface will be chosen as the router ID of RouterB.
