Question 50
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 operational change most directly addresses the fault described?
Explanation
Correct Answer
At the Foothill municipal site, the evidence points to a concrete mechanism rather than a generic outage. Different OSPF network-type expectations lead to inconsistent adjacency and DR behavior. Set compatible OSPF network types appropriate to the actual transit medium on both ends. Confirm it by checking that both interfaces show the planned network type and the adjacency becomes Full.
Incorrect Answers
This could help where ospf area mismatch is the issue, but not for the evidence reported at the Foothill municipal site. Different OSPF network-type expectations lead to inconsistent adjacency and DR behavior.
This is appropriate for a different routing or network-control issue: Incompatible interface MTU values can prevent successful OSPF database-description exchange. The stated evidence at the Foothill municipal site instead concerns ospf dr network-type mismatch.
This could help where ospf stub area options mismatch is the issue, but not for the evidence reported at the Foothill municipal site. Different OSPF network-type expectations lead to inconsistent adjacency and DR behavior.
