A network engineer initializes OSPFv2 on a Cisco router with process ID 10. The router interfaces are configured with the following parameters and operational states:
- Loopback 0: 10.10.10.1/32 (administratively down, line protocol down)
- Loopback 1: 172.16.10.1/32 (up, line protocol up)
- GigabitEthernet 0/0: 192.168.10.254/24 (up, line protocol up)
- GigabitEthernet 0/1: 192.168.20.1/24 (up, line protocol up)
No explicit `router-id` command has been configured under the OSPF routing process. Which TWO statements accurately describe the OSPF Router ID selection and operational behavior for this router?
- The OSPF process selects 172.16.10.1 as its Router ID because it is the highest IPv4 address among operational loopback interfaces.Cevap
- The router maintains 172.16.10.1 as its active OSPF Router ID even if Loopback 1 is subsequently shut down, until the OSPF process is reset or reloaded.Cevap
- CThe OSPF process selects 192.168.20.1 as its Router ID because GigabitEthernet 0/1 has the highest overall IP address assigned to an active interface.
- DThe OSPF process selects 10.10.10.1 as its Router ID because Loopback 0 is always evaluated first regardless of interface operational status.
Cevap
The OSPF process selects 172.16.10.1 as its Router ID because it is the highest IPv4 address among operational loopback interfaces, and it maintains 172.16.10.1 as its active OSPF Router ID even if Loopback 1 is subsequently shut down, until the OSPF process is reset or reloaded.
OSPFv2 selects its Router ID following a strict hierarchy: first an explicit `router-id` configuration, second the highest IPv4 address among operational (up/up) loopback interfaces, and third the highest IPv4 address among operational physical interfaces. Because Loopback 0 is down, Loopback 1 (172.16.10.1) is chosen as the highest active loopback IP address, taking precedence over physical interfaces. Furthermore, OSPF Router ID selection is non-preemptive; once selected, changes to interface states do not immediately update the running Router ID without explicitly resetting the OSPF process.
