200-301 · Question #341
Refer to the exhibit. If OSPF Is running on this network, how does Router2 handle traffic from Site B to 10.10.13.128/25 at Site A?
The correct answer is B. It is unreachable and discards the traffic.. Without the provided exhibit detailing the network topology, OSPF configuration, and IP addressing for Router2 and its connections, it is impossible to determine the routing path for traffic from Site B to the specified destination at Site A.

Why each option
Without the provided exhibit detailing the network topology, OSPF configuration, and IP addressing for Router2 and its connections, it is impossible to determine the routing path for traffic from Site B to the specified destination at Site A.
Load balancing only occurs if OSPF calculates equal-cost paths to the destination, which cannot be determined without the exhibit's topology and costs.
Given that the crucial 'exhibit' is missing, there is no information about the network topology, OSPF areas, link states, or how Router2 is connected to Site A or Site B. Consequently, Router2 cannot determine a valid path to 10.10.13.128/25 and would therefore deem the destination unreachable, discarding the traffic.
Sending packets out of interface Fa0/2 assumes a specific topology and OSPF routing table entry that is not provided or evidenced without the exhibit.
Sending packets out of interface Fa0/1 assumes a specific topology and OSPF routing table entry that is not provided or evidenced without the exhibit.
