Question

A network engineer outputs the following information when troubleshooting OSPF protocol faults. <pre><code><Huawei>display ospf error interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/0 OSPF Process 1 with Router ID 10.0.12.2 OSPF error statistics Interface: GigabitEthernet0/0/0 (10.0.12.2) General packet errors: 0 : Bad version 0 : Bad checksum 4 : Bad area id 0 : Bad authentication type 0 : Bad authentication key 0 : Unknown neighbor 0 : Bad net segment 0 : Extern option mismatch 0 : Router id confusion HELLO packet errors: 0 : Netmask mismatch 0 : Hello timer mismatch 0 : Dead timer mismatch 0 : invalid Source Address </code></pre> Based on this, determine what causes the adjacency relationship to fail to be established normally?

Options

  • AArea code mismatch
  • BAuthentication type is inconsistent
  • CThe IP address codes of the interfaces are inconsistent
  • DRouter ID mismatch

Explanation

Option A is correct because the output explicitly shows 4 : Bad area id - four OSPF packets were discarded due to an area ID mismatch, while every other error counter reads zero, making this the sole cause of the failed adjacency. Option B is wrong because Bad authentication type shows 0 errors, meaning both sides agree on the authentication method. Option C is wrong because Bad net segment shows 0, ruling out an IP subnet mismatch between interfaces. Option D is wrong because Router id confusion also shows 0, so both routers have distinct, non-conflicting Router IDs.

Memory tip: In display ospf error output, the answer is always the one counter that is not zero - treat every other option as eliminated the moment you see its counter is 0.
