Question 560
At a regional hospital campus in Richmond, engineers report that two OSPF neighbors are Full but the necessary service prefix is not advertised. The work affects clinical scheduling and bedside devices. Which post-change observation is the strongest acceptance evidence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This observation tests the OSPF path metric and convergence requirement at a regional hospital campus in Richmond. The expected result is that the selected OSPF path reflects approved cost policy and a controlled link failure converges to the intended backup. The necessary correction is to verify OSPF costs and advertised prefix reachability on the intended paths, then tune metric or failover requirements; a saved configuration alone would not prove it is working. In this case, the observed fault is that two OSPF neighbors are Full but the necessary service prefix is not advertised.
Incorrect Answers
At a regional hospital campus in Richmond, the observation may be useful for a separate VRF segmentation and routing isolation test, but it does not establish that two OSPF neighbors are Full but the necessary service prefix is not advertised has been resolved. The relevant check is the OSPF path metric and convergence outcome.
At a regional hospital campus in Richmond, this measures a different network requirement, Static/default route and route preference. The case describes that two OSPF neighbors are Full but the necessary service prefix is not advertised, so accepting this result would leave the primary fault without direct verification.
At a regional hospital campus in Richmond, this would verify BGP peer state and AS compatibility, not the failure reported in this scenario. The requested closure criterion instead concerns OSPF path metric and convergence: the selected OSPF path reflects approved cost policy and a controlled link failure converges to the intended backup.
