Used to establish and maintain adjacency with other OSPF routers.

Contains the abbreviated list of the sending router's LDSB.

Used by the receiving routers to request more information about an entry in the DBD.

Used to reply to LSRs and to announce new information.

This is sent to confirm receipt of the LSU.

T or F: the LSAck data field is empty.

Used to discover OSPF neighbors and establish neighbor adjacencies.

Hello packets elect the ____ and ____ on ____ networks like Ethernet and Frame Relay.

T or F: Point-to-point links require DR or BDR.

It is a 32-bit value expressed in dotted decimal notation (an IPv4 address) used to uniquely identifying the originating router.

Subnet mask associated with the sending interface.

Area from which the packet originated.

Specifies the frequency, in seconds, at which a router sends Hello packets.

The default Hello interval on multiaccess and point-to-point networks is ____.

It is used in a DR/ BDR election.

What is the default priority for all OSPF routers?

T or F: The lower the value, the more likely the router becomes the DR on the link.

It is the time in seconds that a router awaits to hear from a neighbor before declaring the neighboring router out of service.

What is the default Dead Interval?

What is the default Hello interval on nonbroadcast multiaccess [NBMA] networks; Frame Relay.

T or F: If the Dead interval expires before the routers receive a Hello packet, OSPF removes that neighbor from its LSDB.

T or F: The router floods the LSDB with information about the down neighbor out all OSPF-enabled interfaces.

What is the default Dead interval for multiaccess and point-to-point networks?

What is the default Dead interval for NBMA networks?

State where no Hello packets are received. Router sends Hello packets.

State where Hello packets are received from the neighbor.

State where electing a DR and BDR happen on Ethernet links.

State where negotiation of master/ slave relationship and dbd packet sequence number happen.

State where routers exchange DBD packets.

State where LSRs and LSUs are used to gain additional router information. Routers are processed using the SPF algorithm.

The ____ initiates the DBD packet exchange.

State where routers have converged.

T or F: More routers = more adjacencies

OSPFv2 is enabled using which commandin the global configuration mode?

The process-id value is ranged between?

Recommended method (command) to assign a router ID.

T or F: If the router ID is not explicitly configured, the router chooses the highest IPv4 address of any of configured loopback interfaces.

T or F: If no loopback interfaces are configured, then the router chooses the highest inactive IPv4 address of any of its physical interfaces.

A router ID can also be assigned using a _____.

T or F: A 32-bit host route gets advertised as a route to other OSPF routers.

The basic command syntax for enabling OSPF on interfaces is?

OSPF metric is ___.

T or F: Higher bandwidth = Lower cost

T or F: The cost of an interface is inversely proportional to the bandwidth of the interface.

What is the default reference bandwidth?

OSPF cost formula is:

T or F: When adjusting the reference bandwidth, the command must be configured on every router in the OSPF domain.

T or F: The bandwidth must be adjusted at each end of the serial links.
