Question 250
At the Foothill municipal site, a point-to-point circuit is modeled as broadcast on one OSPF side and point-to-point on the other, producing inconsistent neighbor behavior. Which underlying technical condition best accounts for this evidence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The evidence at the Foothill municipal site supports this condition: Different OSPF network-type expectations lead to inconsistent adjacency and DR behavior. The associated fix is: Set compatible OSPF network types appropriate to the actual transit medium on both ends.
Incorrect Answers
The observation at the Foothill municipal site does not point to ospf mtu exstart; it points to a different condition. Different OSPF network-type expectations lead to inconsistent adjacency and DR behavior.
This diagnoses a different mechanism: OSPF neighbor packets describe incompatible area membership for a common link. The reported symptom at the Foothill municipal site instead concerns ospf dr network-type mismatch.
That diagnosis belongs to ospf authentication mismatch, while the observation at the Foothill municipal site points to ospf dr network-type mismatch.
