The correct answer is B. A broadcast network will work when the broadcast support is explicitly configured at the ATM network. C. Explicit neighbor statements are required when a nonbroadcast network is configured.. OSPF over ATM requires either explicitly enabling broadcast support for broadcast mode or manually configuring neighbor statements when using nonbroadcast (NBMA) mode, since ATM is inherently a non-broadcast medium.

Question

A company wants a design that would support OSPF through a service provider ATM network. Which two OSPF network types should the designer use to establish OSPF neighborship between OSPF routers through the ATM network? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AA broadcast network will always work through ATM networks.
  • BA broadcast network will work when the broadcast support is explicitly configured at the ATM network.
  • CExplicit neighbor statements are required when a nonbroadcast network is configured.
  • DExplicit neighbor statements are required when a point-to-multipoint network is configured.
  • EA nonbroadcast network does not require DR selection.

Why each option

OSPF over ATM requires either explicitly enabling broadcast support for broadcast mode or manually configuring neighbor statements when using nonbroadcast (NBMA) mode, since ATM is inherently a non-broadcast medium.

AA broadcast network will always work through ATM networks.

Broadcast network type does not always work through ATM because ATM is inherently NBMA and does not support broadcast unless explicitly configured with broadcast-capable PVC or SVC maps.

BA broadcast network will work when the broadcast support is explicitly configured at the ATM network.Correct

ATM does not natively support broadcast, but when the ATM network is explicitly configured to support broadcast via broadcast-enabled PVC or SVC maps, OSPF can use the broadcast network type and elect a DR/BDR as it would on Ethernet.

CExplicit neighbor statements are required when a nonbroadcast network is configured.Correct

When OSPF is configured as a nonbroadcast (NBMA) network type over ATM, the protocol cannot dynamically discover neighbors because ATM does not forward multicast or broadcast hellos; therefore, each neighbor must be explicitly configured with the 'neighbor' command under the OSPF process.

DExplicit neighbor statements are required when a point-to-multipoint network is configured.

OSPF point-to-multipoint network type uses unicast hello packets directed to each neighbor and does not require explicit neighbor statements.

EA nonbroadcast network does not require DR selection.

Nonbroadcast (NBMA) network type does require DR/BDR election just like broadcast networks; it is the point-to-multipoint network type that skips DR/BDR selection.
