An OSPF network has two paths from router R1 to router R2: Path A uses a 1 Gbps link, and Path B uses a 100 Mbps link. Both links are in the same area and have the same OSPF cost configured manually. Which path will OSPF prefer by default?

Path B, because OSPF prefers the slower link to avoid congestion.

Path A, because the default cost is inversely proportional to bandwidth, so the 1 Gbps link has a lower cost.

Both paths equally, because OSPF load-balances across equal-cost paths.

Path A, because OSPF always prefers the link with the highest bandwidth regardless of cost.

Two OSPF routers are stuck in the 2-Way state on a broadcast segment. Both routers have the same OSPF priority. The network engineer needs to ensure that a full adjacency forms between these two routers. What should the engineer do?

Increase the OSPF dead interval on both routers.

Change the OSPF area ID on one router.

Set the OSPF router ID to be the same on both routers.

Change the OSPF network type to point-to-point on both interfaces.

Which OSPF router type is responsible for redistributing routes from external routing protocols into the OSPF domain?

Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR)

What is the primary purpose of the OSPF link-state database (LSDB) on a router?

To store the routing table of each neighbor router for comparison and loop prevention.

To store the complete topology of the OSPF area, which is used as input to the SPF calculation.

To store the list of all OSPF routers in the autonomous system, regardless of area membership.

To store only the best routes learned from neighbors, which are then installed in the routing table.

An OSPF network has an ASBR that redistributes static routes into OSPF. A router in a totally stubby area needs to reach one of these external networks. Which LSA type will the router receive to learn about this external route?
