Question 560
An operations ticket for Baypoint Retail has two requirements: (1) make two routers with mismatched OSPF area IDs become neighbors, and (2) elect the designated router on a broadcast multiaccess segment. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Both outcomes are covered: (1) OSPF neighbors must agree on the area for an eligible adjacency. (2) Broadcast OSPF uses a DR/BDR election based on configured priority and router-ID tie breaks. Neither action is a substitute for the other.
Incorrect Answers
Neither step is the requested pair: Recognize the S routing table code is for distinguish static route entries from learned routes, and Use router ospf with network statements and wildcard masks for area 0 is for enable single-area OSPF on matching IPv4 interfaces. Cisco IOS marks configured static routes with S in show ip route. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.
The first step covers (1), but the second addresses interpret a directly connected interface network versus remote learned network. Directly connected prefixes have an attached interface, while remote routes require a next hop or recursion. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.
The second step covers (2), but the first addresses identify the purpose of an HSRP virtual IP on a user VLAN. The virtual address stays available across an active/standby gateway role change. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.
