The correct answer is A. Configure ip ospf resync-timtout 180 under the Gi0'1 interface configuration. The 'ip ospf resync-timeout' interface command sets the OSPF NSF helper-mode resynchronization timeout to 180 seconds (3 minutes), suppressing routing instability propagation from the external domain into the backbone during graceful restart.

Question

The engineering team at ISP_1 must improve network stability time and minimize the impact of routing instabilities from other domains to unicast transit services in the backbone R1 is part of an OSPF-enabled network, and acts as an ASBR connected via interface Gi0/1 to the external domain. The OSPF exponential backoff algorithm RFC 3623 with helper mode is already implemented on R1. Which additional configuration must the ISP_1 team apply to suppress routing instability for 3 minutes'?

Options

  • AConfigure ip ospf resync-timtout 180 under the Gi0'1 interface configuration
  • BConfigure ip ospf timer nsf interval 3 under the global Gi0'1 interface configuration
  • CConfigure nsf ittf restart-inttrval 180 under the global OSPF configuration
  • DConfigure nsf ospf wait 3 under the global OSPF configuration

Why each option

The 'ip ospf resync-timeout' interface command sets the OSPF NSF helper-mode resynchronization timeout to 180 seconds (3 minutes), suppressing routing instability propagation from the external domain into the backbone during graceful restart.

AConfigure ip ospf resync-timtout 180 under the Gi0'1 interface configurationCorrect

Configuring 'ip ospf resync-timeout 180' under interface Gi0/1 sets the NSF helper resynchronization timeout to 180 seconds, which equals the required 3-minute suppression window. This controls how long the OSPF helper router waits for the restarting ASBR to resynchronize its LSDB before tearing down the adjacency, preventing transient external routing instability from propagating into the backbone. Because RFC 3623 helper mode is already active on R1, this interface-level timer is the targeted knob to achieve the desired suppression duration.

BConfigure ip ospf timer nsf interval 3 under the global Gi0'1 interface configuration

'ip ospf timer nsf interval' is not a valid Cisco IOS interface-level command for controlling NSF or graceful restart suppression timers.

CConfigure nsf ittf restart-inttrval 180 under the global OSPF configuration

'nsf ietf restart-interval' is a global OSPF process command that configures the restart interval for the restarting router itself, not the helper-mode resynchronization timeout used to suppress instability propagation to neighbors.

DConfigure nsf ospf wait 3 under the global OSPF configuration

'nsf ospf wait' is not a valid Cisco IOS OSPF configuration command and would not be accepted by the router.
