   When does an OSPF router run the SPF calculation?

   • AWhenever a change occurs in the link-state database.
   • BOnly when the designated router changes.
   • CAt regular intervals, such as every 30 seconds.

   What is a primary benefit of using a single-area OSPF design in a campus network?

   • AIt reduces the size of the link-state database compared to a multi-area design.
   • BIt allows the use of different OSPF metrics in different parts of the network.
   • CIt eliminates the need for a designated router election on multi-access segments.
   • DIt simplifies configuration and troubleshooting because all routers share the same topological view.

   What is a key characteristic of OSPF's operation that distinguishes it from distance-vector protocols?

   • AOSPF relies on hop count as the metric to determine the best path.
   • BOSPF only advertises routes that are directly connected to the router.
   • COSPF routers exchange their full routing tables with neighbors at regular intervals.
   • DOSPF routers maintain a synchronized link-state database and compute routes independently using SPF.
