Question 540
At a regional hospital campus in Richmond, engineers report that the new routed VLAN is omitted from the switch's OSPF-enabled interfaces. The work affects clinical scheduling and bedside devices. What evidence should the engineer request after the repair?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This observation tests the OSPF neighbor prerequisites and states requirement at a regional hospital campus in Richmond. The expected result is that the expected neighbor reaches the required state and the authorized OSPF routes enter the routing table. The necessary correction is to align OSPF participation, area, reachability and neighbor authentication before troubleshooting downstream learned routes; a saved configuration alone would not prove it is working. In this case, the observed fault is that the new routed VLAN is omitted from the switch's OSPF-enabled interfaces.
Incorrect Answers
At a regional hospital campus in Richmond, the observation may be useful for a separate Static/default route and route preference test, but it does not establish that the new routed VLAN is omitted from the switch's OSPF-enabled interfaces has been resolved. The relevant check is the OSPF neighbor prerequisites and states outcome.
At a regional hospital campus in Richmond, this would verify VRF segmentation and routing isolation, not the failure reported in this scenario. The requested closure criterion instead concerns OSPF neighbor prerequisites and states: the expected neighbor reaches the required state and the authorized OSPF routes enter the routing table.
At a regional hospital campus in Richmond, the observation may be useful for a separate BGP peer state and AS compatibility test, but it does not establish that the new routed VLAN is omitted from the switch's OSPF-enabled interfaces has been resolved. The relevant check is the OSPF neighbor prerequisites and states outcome.
