Question

A firewall should be advertising the static route 10.2.0.0/24 into OSPF. The configuration on the neighbour is correct, but the route is not in the neighbour's routing table. Which two configurations should you check on the firewall? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AIn the OSFP configuration, ensure that the correct redistribution profile is selected in the OSPF
  • BWithin the redistribution profile ensure that Redist is selected.
  • CEnsure that the OSPF neighbor state Is "2-Way."
  • DIn the redistribution profile check that the source type is set to "ospf."

Explanation

To redistribute a static route into OSPF on a Palo Alto firewall, two components must be correctly configured together. First (A), the OSPF configuration's export rules or redistribution settings must reference the correct redistribution profile - if the profile is missing or the wrong one is selected, no routes will be exported into OSPF regardless of the profile's contents. Second (B), within the redistribution profile itself, the action must be set to 'Redist' (redistribute); if it is set to 'No Redist,' matching routes are explicitly excluded from redistribution. Answer D is wrong because the source type in the redistribution profile should be 'static' (not 'ospf') to redistribute static routes. Answer C is irrelevant because the '2-Way' state applies to OSPF neighbor adjacency, not redistribution.
