Question 840
At a government WAN in Ottawa, a post-change check targets this documented issue: An attached transit network is mistakenly redistributed into an IGP intended only to carry service prefixes. Which observation is the strongest evidence that the repair worked?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for connected route redistribution oversight. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Selectively match connected service subnets instead of redistributing every connected network', actually resolved the reported issue at a government WAN in Ottawa. The original failure was: An attached transit network is mistakenly redistributed into an IGP intended only to carry service prefixes.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies ospf external subnets redistribution in a different situation, such as when a redistribution statement is intended to carry multiple classless subnets into OSPF but only classful behavior is observed in the configured IOS context. For the reported connected route redistribution oversight incident at a government WAN in Ottawa, the required acceptance evidence is: Internal transit-only subnet advertisements disappear while intended service routes remain. This other result does not test that condition directly.
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 connected route redistribution oversight incident at a government WAN in Ottawa, the required acceptance evidence is: Internal transit-only subnet advertisements disappear while intended service routes remain. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies ospf default originate conditional in a different situation, such as when the border router should originate an OSPF default only while it has a usable upstream default but neighbors receive none. For the reported connected route redistribution oversight incident at a government WAN in Ottawa, the required acceptance evidence is: Internal transit-only subnet advertisements disappear while intended service routes remain. This other result does not test that condition directly.
