Question 10
A service provider maintains OSPF totally stubby access areas behind one ABR. Observed: Branch routers still receive numerous interarea type-3 advertisements after migration. What evidence would validate recovery from this precise failure mode?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The intended result is Branch LSDBs contain the expected default route without unrelated interarea prefixes. It specifically verifies recovery from the totally stubby default-route and interarea advertisement policy is not consistently applied, which produced the original symptom: Branch routers still receive numerous interarea type-3 advertisements after migration. It is stronger evidence than a generic interface-up indicator.
Incorrect Answers
It confirms an unrelated service correction: OSPF network type or next-hop modeling does not reflect the hub-and-spoke topology. The present case reports Branch routers still receive numerous interarea type-3 advertisements after migration. Its completion test is Branch LSDBs contain the expected default route without unrelated interarea prefixes.
This result is useful in another case with evidence A needed interarea route vanishes even though it exists in the remote area's database. It does not test recovery from branch routers still receive numerous interarea type-3 advertisements after migration. Check instead whether branch LSDBs contain the expected default route without unrelated interarea prefixes.
That observation would verify a separate fault involving type-7 to type-5 translation has not been established by an eligible nssa border router. Its symptom is External routes learned by the NSSA ASBR never appear in area 0. For this case the actual issue is the totally stubby default-route and interarea advertisement policy is not consistently applied, and the relevant success signal is Branch LSDBs contain the expected default route without unrelated interarea prefixes.
