Question 40
Two routers exchange OSPF over a numbered point-to-point link. Observed: The interface stays in 2-Way state although the operator expects a Full relationship. Which change-acceptance control is most relevant to preventing this exact failure?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The control is specific to the initial failure. It requires the result Adjacency reaches the state appropriate for the installed point-to-point design. and treats The interface stays in 2-Way state although the operator expects a Full relationship. as a failure signal. The causal concern is link network type and adjacency expectations do not match the actual segment design.
Incorrect Answers
This gate monitors a different failure, a neighbor goes down directly after changing only the abr area mode. It would not detect the current problem: The interface stays in 2-Way state although the operator expects a Full relationship. The appropriate check requires adjacency reaches the state appropriate for the installed point-to-point design.
It is valid for another service scenario but checks neighbor packets are received but rejected after routine secret rotation. This case instead needs a gate for the interface stays in 2-way state although the operator expects a full relationship and evidence that adjacency reaches the state appropriate for the installed point-to-point design.
The proposed control is tied to an interarea route leaking policy introduced competing origin and preference paths, typically observed when two ABRs forward the same prefix via different areas and traffic becomes asymmetrical. Here the target is link network type and adjacency expectations do not match the actual segment design; monitor adjacency reaches the state appropriate for the installed point-to-point design.
