HPE6-A45 · Question #95

A network administrator can set the OSPF metric type on an AOS-Switch to Type 1 or Type 2. What is the difference?

The correct answer is D. A Type 2 metric always has the same as the external route is advertised, while a Type 1 metric increments with internal OSPF link costs. See the full explanation below for the reasoning.

Question

A network administrator can set the OSPF metric type on an AOS-Switch to Type 1 or Type 2. What is the difference?

Options

  • AA Type 2 metric marks external routes that can be advertised in NSSAs, while a Type 1 metric marks external routes that can only be advertised in normal areas.
  • BA Type 2 metric assigns cost to a 100 Gbps link, while a Type 1 metric assigns cost to all links of 100 Mbps or higher.
  • CA Type 2 metric is assigned to multiple external routes that are aggregated together, while a Type 1 metric does not permit external route aggregation.
  • DA Type 2 metric always has the same as the external route is advertised, while a Type 1 metric increments with internal OSPF link costs.
