Question 870
After implementing a correction at a distribution company in Oslo, engineers must verify that this original problem is resolved: An NSSA ASBR originates an external route but routers outside the area never see a translated Type-5 LSA. Which observed result BEST demonstrates success?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for ospf nssa type-7 translation. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Verify NSSA ABR translation and area configuration for eligible Type-7 external LSAs', actually resolved the reported issue at a distribution company in Oslo. The original failure was: An NSSA ASBR originates an external route but routers outside the area never see a translated Type-5 LSA.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies ospf backbone connectivity in a different situation, such as when an ABR connects two nonbackbone areas without an Area 0 backbone path, and interarea advertisements are missing. For the reported ospf nssa type-7 translation incident at a distribution company in Oslo, the required acceptance evidence is: The translated external route becomes available outside the NSSA through the intended ABR. 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 nssa type-7 translation incident at a distribution company in Oslo, the required acceptance evidence is: The translated external route becomes available outside the NSSA through the intended ABR. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies ospf dr bdr network type in a different situation, such as when a point-to-point link is configured with an OSPF broadcast network type and displays an unnecessary DR election. For the reported ospf nssa type-7 translation incident at a distribution company in Oslo, the required acceptance evidence is: The translated external route becomes available outside the NSSA through the intended ABR. This other result does not test that condition directly.
