How does an OSPF router ensure that its Link-State Database is synchronized with a neighbor during adjacency formation?

By sending its full routing table to the neighbor

By exchanging Database Description packets and then requesting missing LSAs

By comparing Router IDs and choosing the higher one

By sending Hello packets with the full LSDB

What is the primary purpose of Link-State Advertisements (LSAs) in OSPF?

To describe the router's local state and links, which are used to build the Link-State Database

To carry the complete routing table to neighboring routers

What does an OSPF router use to calculate the best path to a destination?

The Hello packets received from neighbors

The routing table of the next-hop router

On a broadcast multiaccess network, which routers form full adjacencies?

Only the DR and BDR form full adjacencies with all other routers

All routers form full adjacencies with each other

Only the DR forms full adjacencies with all other routers

No full adjacencies are formed on broadcast networks

What is the primary benefit of route summarization at an OSPF area boundary?

Reduces the number of LSAs and routing table entries

Increases the speed of the SPF algorithm

Allows external routes to be advertised into stub areas
