Question 40
An enterprise network designer recommends: Adjust the relevant OSPF interface cost to express the desired preferred path. Which situation most clearly calls for this action?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This case requires the OSPF cost tuning action. Shortest-path computation can select the path with the lower cumulative OSPF cost.
Incorrect Answers
This other case would be better matched to Allow updated link-state advertisements to flood and each router to recompute SPF. The routers can recalculate shortest paths from a consistent view of the changed topology.
This other case would be better matched to Compare the OSPF link-state database with the installed routing table. The operator can distinguish missing topology advertisements from a later route selection issue.
This other case would be better matched to Redistribute the selected external route using a controlled OSPF export policy on an ASBR. Eligible external prefixes can be originated as OSPF external routing information.
