Free Nokia OSPF Routing Protocol Exam Practice Questions

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (OSPF Hello Protocol Rules):

“OSPF requires the following parameters to match for neighbor establishment: Area ID, Hello interval, Dead interval, and options (including Stub flag).”

A (Correct): Area ID must match.

B (Correct): Hello and Dead intervals must match.

C (Correct): Stub flag is part of the OSPF Options field and must match.

D: Checksum applies to LSA packets, not Hello packets.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (Distance Vector Fundamentals):

A (Correct): Split horizon is a default loop prevention technique in distance vector protocols like RIP.

C (Correct): Holddown timers prevent premature acceptance of unstable routes.

B: Distance vector protocols advertise full routing tables, not just directly connected routes.

D: This is a characteristic of link-state protocols (OSPF/IS-IS).

Thus, correct answers are A and

C.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (OSPF Neighbor Formation Process):

A (Correct):

“An MTU mismatch will cause OSPF adjacency to stall in ExStart state.”

B (Correct):

“Subnet mismatch prevents OSPF neighbor discovery as Hello packets are not accepted.”

D (Correct):

“Area ID mismatch results in dropped Hello packets and no adjacency.”

Incorrect options:

C: If the system interface is not included, OSPF will not even attempt neighbor formation; this isn’t an adjacency issue but rather a configuration issue.

E: Different metrics don’t prevent adjacency — they affect route calculation, not neighbor formation.

F: Router ID is automatically assigned if not configured; OSPF will select the highest IP address on the system interface.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (Routing Protocol Classification):

RIPv1 (B) → Distance Vector

RIPv2 (C) → Distance Vector

OSPF (A) → Link-State

IS-IS (D) → Link-State

Thus, correct answers are B and

C.
