A network administrator configures OSPFv2 process 1 on router R4 without manually specifying an OSPF router ID. Prior to starting the OSPF process, R4 has the following operational interface statuses and IPv4 addresses:
- Loopback 0: 10.200.1.1/24 (Administratively Down, Line Protocol Down)
- Loopback 1: 172.16.5.1/24 (Up, Line Protocol Up)
- Loopback 2: 172.16.20.1/24 (Up, Line Protocol Up)
- GigabitEthernet 0/0: 192.168.1.254/24 (Up, Line Protocol Up)
What IPv4 address will R4 select as its OSPF Router ID?
Cevap: 172.16.20.1
Cevap
172.16.20.1
When OSPFv2 initializes without a manually configured router ID, it selects the highest IPv4 address among operational (up/up) loopback interfaces. Loopback 0 is ignored because it is administratively down. Between the remaining active loopback interfaces, 172.16.20.1 on Loopback 2 is higher than 172.16.5.1 on Loopback 1. Active loopbacks take absolute precedence over physical interfaces, so GigabitEthernet 0/0 is not evaluated.
