Question 190
For terminal route resilience at an airport infrastructure network in Dubai, a maintenance test revisits the fault: An ASBR redistributing several adjacent external routes tries to use an ABR area range to summarize them. Which result validates the intended fix most directly?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for ospf external summarization. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Use OSPF summary-address on the ASBR for qualifying external prefixes', actually resolved the reported issue at an airport infrastructure network in Dubai. The original failure was: An ASBR redistributing several adjacent external routes tries to use an ABR area range to summarize them.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies redistribution route-map omission in a different situation, such as when a router leaks sensitive static prefixes into OSPF because redistribute static has no route policy. For the reported ospf external summarization incident at an airport infrastructure network in Dubai, the required acceptance evidence is: The redistributed external prefixes are advertised as the intended aggregate LSA. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies prefix-list exact-length filter in a different situation, such as when a route-map references a prefix list that permits only a /16, while intended /24 components are never matched. For the reported ospf external summarization incident at an airport infrastructure network in Dubai, the required acceptance evidence is: The redistributed external prefixes are advertised as the intended aggregate LSA. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies discard route and summary blackhole in a different situation, such as when an aggregate remains visible after its last valid component disappears and traffic is dropped into an associated discard route. For the reported ospf external summarization incident at an airport infrastructure network in Dubai, the required acceptance evidence is: The redistributed external prefixes are advertised as the intended aggregate LSA. This other result does not test that condition directly.
