During network troubleshooting, an administrator discovers that Router A is receiving OSPFv2 Hello packets from directly connected Router B. However, Router B is dropping all incoming Hello packets from Router A because of an inbound interface access list. In which OSPF neighbor state will Router A remain with respect to Router B?

Cevap
Router A will remain in the Init neighbor state.
When a router receives an OSPF Hello packet from a neighbor, it places that neighbor into the Init state. To transition to the 2-Way state, bidirectional communication must be verified—meaning the receiving router must see its own Router ID listed inside the neighbor's Hello packet. Because the access list blocks Router A's Hellos from reaching Router B, Router B never learns of Router A and never includes Router A's Router ID in its Hellos. Consequently, Router A remains stuck in the Init state.
