Eigrp And Ospf(Networking ) Questions and Answers

Question 1. With which network type will OSPF establish router adjacencies but not perform the DR/BDR election process?
  1.    Point-to-point
  2.    Backbone area 0
  3.    Broadcast multi-access
  4.    Non-broadcast multi-access
  5.    IS-IS
Explanation:-
Answer: Option A. -> Point-to-point
No DR is assigned on any type of point-to-point link. No DR/BDR is assigned on the NBMA point-to-multipoint due to the hub/spoke topology. DR and BDR are elected on broadcast and non-broadcast multi-access networks. Frame Relay is a non-broadcast multi-access (NBMA) network by default.

Question 2. What is the administrative distance of OSPF?
  1.    90
  2.    100
  3.    110
  4.    120
Explanation:-
Answer: Option C. -> 110
The administrative distance (AD) is a very important parameter in a routing protocol. The lower the AD, the more trusted the route. If you have IGRP and OSPF running, by default IGRP routes would be placed in the routing table because IGRP has a lower AD of 100. OSPF has an AD of 110. RIPv1 and RIPv2 both have an AD of 120, and EIGRP is the lowest, at 90.

Question 3. A network administrator needs to configure a router with a distance-vector protocol that allows classless routing. Which of the following satisfies those requirements?
  1.    IGRP
  2.    OSPF
  3.    RIPv1
  4.    EIGRP
  5.    IS-IS
Explanation:-
Answer: Option D. -> EIGRP
In this question, we're calling EIGRP just plain old distance vector. EIGRP is an "advanced" distance-vector routing protocol, sometimes called a hybrid routing protocol because it uses the characteristics of both distance-vector and link-state routing protocols.

Question 4. Your company is running IGRP using an AS of 10. You want to configure EIGRP on the network but want to migrate slowly to EIGRP and don't want to configure redistribution. What command would allow you to migrate over time to EIGRP without configuring redistribution?
  1.    router eigrp 11
  2.    router eigrp 10
  3.    router eigrp 10 redistribute igrp
  4.    router igrp combine eigrp 10
Explanation:-
Answer: Option B. -> router eigrp 10
If you enable EIGRP on a router with the same autonomous system (AS) number, EIGRP will automatically redistribute IGRP into EIGRP. You will see the IGRP injected routes as external (EX) routes with an EIGRP AD of 170. This is a nice feature that lets you migrate slowly to EIGRP with no extra configuration.

Question 5. Which of the following describe the process identifier that is used to run OSPF on a router?
1. It is locally significant.
2. It is globally significant.
3. It is needed to identify a unique instance of an OSPF database.
4. It is an optional parameter required only if multiple OSPF processes are running on the router.
  1.    1, 2 and 4
  2.    1 and 3
  3.    3 and 5
  4.    All of the above
  5.    IS-IS
Explanation:-
Answer: Option B. -> 1 and 3
The Process ID for OSPF on a router is only locally significant and you can use the same number on each router, or each router can have a different number-it just doesn't matter. The numbers you can use are from 1 to 65,535. Don't get this confused with area numbers, which can be from 0 to 4.2 billion.

Question 6. Which command will display all the EIGRP feasible successor routes known to a router?
  1.    show ip routes *
  2.    show ip eigrp summary
  3.    show ip eigrp topology
  4.    show ip eigrp adjacencies
Explanation:-
Answer: Option C. -> show ip eigrp topology
Any secondary route to a remote network is considered a feasible successor, and those routes are only found in the topology table and used as backup routes in case of primary route failure. You can see the topology table with the show ip eigrp topology command.

Question 7. Where are EIGRP successor routes stored?
  1.    In the routing table only
  2.    In the neighbor table only
  3.    In the topology table only
  4.    In the routing table and the topology table
  5.    In the routing table and the neighbor table
Explanation:-
Answer: Option D. -> In the routing table and the topology table
Successor routes are going to be in the routing table since they are the best path to a remote network. However, the topology table has a link to each and every network, so the best answer is topology table and routing table. Any secondary route to a remote network is considered a feasible successor, and those routes are only found in the topology table and used as backup routes in case of primary route failure.

Question 8. Which EIGRP information is held in RAM and maintained through the use of Hello and update packets?
1. Neighbor table
2. STP table
3. Topology table
4. DUAL table
  1.    2 only
  2.    4 only
  3.    1 and 3
  4.    All of the above
Explanation:-
Answer: Option C. -> 1 and 3
EIGRP holds three tables in RAM: neighbor, topology, and routing. The neighbor and topology tables are built and maintained with the use of Hello packets.

Question 9. Which is true regarding EIGRP successor routes?
1. A successor route is used by EIGRP to forward traffic to a destination.
2. Successor routes are saved in the topology table to be used if the primary route fails.
3. Successor routes are flagged as "active" in the routing table.
4. A successor route may be backed up by a feasible successor route.
5. Successor routes are stored in the neighbor table following the discovery process.
  1.    1 and 3
  2.    2 and 3
  3.    1 and 4
  4.    3, 4 and 5
Explanation:-
Answer: Option C. -> 1 and 4
Successor routes are the routes picked from the topology table as the best route to a remote network, so these are the routes that IP uses in the routing table to forward traffic to a remote destination. The topology table contains any route that is not as good as the successor route and is considered a feasible successor, or backup route. Remember that all routes are in the topology table, even successor routes.

Question 10. Which of the following are true regarding OSPF areas?
1. You must have separate loopback interfaces configured in each area.
2. The numbers you can assign an area go up to 65,535.
3. The backbone area is also called area 0.
4. If your design is hierarchical, then you don't need multiple areas.
5. All areas must connect to area 0.
  1.    1 only
  2.    1 and 2 only
  3.    3 and 4 only
  4.    3, 4 and 5
Explanation:-
Answer: Option D. -> 3, 4 and 5
Loopback interfaces are created on a router, and the highest IP address on a loopback (logical) interface becomes the RID of the router but has nothing to do with areas and is optional, so (1) is wrong. The numbers you can create an area with are from 0 to 4,294,967,295 option (2) is wrong. The backbone area is called area 0, so option (3) is correct. All areas must connect to area 0, so option (5) is correct. If you have only one area, it must be called area 0. This leaves option (4), which must be correct; it doesn't make much sense, but it is the best answer.
