Question 10
The acceptance test for routing failover at a carrier-adjacent enterprise in Tokyo must confirm a fix for: An OSPF neighbor receives hellos but rejects authenticated packets because key or mode differs across the link. Which outcome shows that the precise problem was corrected?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for ospf authentication mismatch. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Align the OSPF authentication method, key identifier and secret appropriate to the supported OSPF version', actually resolved the reported issue at a carrier-adjacent enterprise in Tokyo. The original failure was: An OSPF neighbor receives hellos but rejects authenticated packets because key or mode differs across the link.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies ospf hello/dead mismatch in a different situation, such as when oSPF neighbors remain down while their hello and dead intervals differ across the connected interfaces. For the reported ospf authentication mismatch incident at a carrier-adjacent enterprise in Tokyo, the required acceptance evidence is: The adjacency forms with correct authentication rather than disabling verification. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies ospf cost path choice in a different situation, such as when an engineer expects OSPF to choose the highest interface speed but configured interface cost forces a different path. For the reported ospf authentication mismatch incident at a carrier-adjacent enterprise in Tokyo, the required acceptance evidence is: The adjacency forms with correct authentication rather than disabling verification. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies ospf e1 e2 route preference in a different situation, such as when two otherwise valid OSPF external alternatives are compared without considering their E1 and E2 metric semantics. For the reported ospf authentication mismatch incident at a carrier-adjacent enterprise in Tokyo, the required acceptance evidence is: The adjacency forms with correct authentication rather than disabling verification. This other result does not test that condition directly.
