352-001 · Question #21

Refer to the exhibit. All routers in this network are configured to place all interfaces in OSPF area 5. R3 is the designated router on the 10.1.5.0/24 network. If you examine the OSPF database on R4,

The correct answer is A. a connection to 10.1.5.0/24 and links to R3, R2, and R1. The Designated Router generates a Type 2 Network LSA for its multi-access segment that lists the network and all fully adjacent routers attached to that segment, including the DR itself.

Question

Refer to the exhibit. All routers in this network are configured to place all interfaces in OSPF area 5. R3 is the designated router on the 10.1.5.0/24 network. If you examine the OSPF database on R4, what would the network (type 2) LSA, generated by R3, contain?

Options

  • Aa connection to 10.1.5.0/24 and links to R3, R2, and R1
  • Ba connection to 10.1.5.0/24 and links to R2 and R1
  • Cconnections to 10.1.5.0/24 and 10.1.1.0/31
  • Dno connections, R3 does not generate a network (type 2) LSA in this network

Why each option

The Designated Router generates a Type 2 Network LSA for its multi-access segment that lists the network and all fully adjacent routers attached to that segment, including the DR itself.

Aa connection to 10.1.5.0/24 and links to R3, R2, and R1Correct

R3, as the DR on 10.1.5.0/24, generates a Network LSA describing that transit network and listing every router that has formed a full adjacency with it on that segment. The DR includes itself in the attached-router list alongside R2 and R1, which is how the Type 2 LSA correctly represents all participants on the multi-access network.

Ba connection to 10.1.5.0/24 and links to R2 and R1

This option omits R3 itself; the DR is always included as an attached router in the Type 2 LSA it originates, since the DR is also connected to the segment it is describing.

Cconnections to 10.1.5.0/24 and 10.1.1.0/31

A Type 2 LSA covers exactly one multi-access transit segment; subnets such as 10.1.1.0/31 are point-to-point links described in separate Router (Type 1) LSAs and are never bundled into a Network LSA.

Dno connections, R3 does not generate a network (type 2) LSA in this network

R3 is the elected DR on 10.1.5.0/24, and OSPF mandates that the DR generate a Network LSA for every multi-access segment on which it holds that role.

Concept tested: OSPF Type 2 Network LSA generated by the DR
