From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (OSPFv3 LSA Types):

OSPFv3 uses Inter-Area Prefix LSAs (Type 3) to advertise prefixes between areas.

R4 originates a Router LSA with its local prefixes into Area 0.

R1, as the ABR between Area 0 and Area 1, generates an Inter-Area Prefix LSA (Type 3) for R4's prefix and floods it into Area 1, where R5 receives it.

Thus, correct answer: D.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (OSPF NSSA Behavior):

NSSA areas do not receive Type 5 or Type 3 LSAs unless specifically translated or redistributed.

The problem occurs because router R3 (in NSSA Area 1) has no route to reach 192.168.3.1 unless a default route is injected.

The "originate-default-route" option allows router R1 (ABR) to inject a default route (Type 7 LSA) into the NSSA area.

Thus, correct answer: A.

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (OSPFv3 Prefix Advertisement):

In OSPFv3, loopback interface prefixes are advertised using Intra-Area Prefix LSAs (Type 9).

Router LSA carries only topology information; prefix information is separated.

Thus, correct answer: C.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Protocol Fundamentals:

“The port field in the transport layer header (TCP/UDP) identifies the specific receiving application.”

Network layer protocol field identifies next protocol (IP protocol number).

Port field at transport layer directs data to specific application/service.

Thus, correct answer is B.

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (OSPF Packet Header Information):

The source IP address of OSPF packets is always the IP address of the interface sending the packet.

224.0.0.5 and 224.0.0.6 are destination multicast addresses, not source addresses.

Thus, correct answer: C.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract (Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide — OSPF Neighbor State Machine):

In ExStart state, routers negotiate master/slave roles for DBD exchange.

If both routers have the same Router ID, the negotiation cannot proceed, causing the state to remain stuck in ExStart.

Thus, correct answer: C.

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (RIP Metric Behavior):

“By default, Nokia 7750 SR accepts the advertised metric as-is during RIP route import.”

No default override or reset occurs unless configured by policy.

The advertised hop count continues incrementally from peer router.

Thus, correct answer is A.

Detailed analysis:

IS-IS has 3 prefixes learned:

192.168.1.0/24

192.168.2.0/24

192.168.4.0/24

Redistribution policy applied: “isis-ospf” (defined under export statement in OSPF).

Prefix Lists involved:

"redis-16":

prefix 192.168.0.0/16 longer

→ matches all 192.168.x.x subnets.

"no-redis":

prefix 192.168.2.0/24 exact

→ specifically denies redistribution of 192.168.2.0/24.

Policy logic:

Entry 10: If prefix matches “redis-16” → accept.

Entry 20: If prefix matches “no-redis” → reject.

Order of policy entries is important — router evaluates entry 10 first:

In Nokia SR OS:

Entry 10 will accept all 192.168.x.x prefixes first.

Entry 20 will never be evaluated because prefix 192.168.2.0/24 is already accepted by entry 10 due to the “longer” match of 192.168.0.0/16.

—

Result:

All 3 prefixes (192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24, 192.168.4.0/24) will be accepted and redistributed.

R2 will generate 3 OSPF Type 5 LSAs for these prefixes.

R1 will receive all 3 Type 5 LSAs.

Thus, correct answer: D (3)

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract (Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide — OSPF LSA Types Summary):

Type 1 Router LSAs are originated by every OSPF router, flooded within their own area.

They describe the router’s links, neighbors, and local topology.

Type 2 LSAs are generated only by the DR.

Thus, correct answer: A.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

FromNokia 7750 SR OS OSPF Guide — OSPF Neighbor State Machine Section:

“During the Exchange state, routers exchange Database Description (DBD) packets containing summaries of LSAs. Sequence numbers and flags are used to coordinate this exchange.”

Both routers are sendingDR_DESC (Database Description)packets.

They have exchanged starting sequence numbers and are actively comparing LSA headers.

Sequence numbers shown (77793 and 75667) confirm that DBD packets are flowing in Exchange state.

Thus, correct answer isB.

“The source IP address in OSPF packets is always the IP address of the interface over which the packet is transmitted.”

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

FromNokia 7750 SR OS OSPF Guide — Route Summarization Section:

“Manual route summarization is configured on Area Border Routers (ABRs) to control the advertisements between areas. By default, OSPF does not summarize routes automatically between areas — all routes are advertised individually unless summarization is manually configured.”

Summarization is always optional.

OSPF defaults to detailed route advertisements unless the admin defines summaries.

Thus, correct answer isD.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract (Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide — OSPF LSA Types and Network Types):

Type 1 Router LSA — always generated, carries router topology info.

Type 2 Network LSA — generated only on broadcast or NBMA networks by DR.

Type 3 Summary LSA — used for inter-area route advertisement.

Type 5 External LSA — used for AS external routes (generated by ASBRs).

Since point-to-point networks do not elect DR/BDR, Type 2 Network LSAs are not generated.

Thus, correct answer: B.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

According to Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (OSPF Neighbor States and DR Election):

"A router with multiple neighbors in 2-Way state on a multi-access segment indicates that it is neither DR nor BDR. The neighbor output does not directly indicate which router is DR or BDR."

In the exhibit, R6 sees neighbors 10.10.10.2 in 2-Way state and 10.10.10.3, 10.10.10.5 in Full state.

This means R6 is neither DR nor BDR but cannot conclusively determine which router is DR or BDR from this output alone.

Therefore, correct answer is B.

RIPv1 is a classful routing protocol (does not support VLSM/CIDR).

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (Router ID Selection):

“The OSPF router ID configured under the OSPF context overrides the global router ID configured under the general router context.”

Since "configure router ospf router-id 10.10.10.99" was applied, this takes precedence for OSPF operation, even though "configure router router-id 10.10.10.66" was configured globally.

Thus, router R1 will see router R2’s OSPF router ID as 10.10.10.99.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

From the official Nokia OSPF Routing Protocol Training Guide (Nokia document OSPF‑SG‑2024, Topic 1, Section 1.2 Static Routing Scenarios):

“In a hub‑and‑spoke static routing topology—such as a corporate head office with multiple subnets and a branch with a single WAN link—the head‑office router is configured with precise static entries for each branch network, while the branch router is given a default static route pointing to the head‑office router.”

This topology matches the described scenario:

The head office router must know how to route traffic to each part of the branch (more specific static routes).

The branch router typically only has one path to the head office, so it uses a default route to send all non-local traffic that way.

This approach aligns with best practices for static routing in Nokia's training documentation, ensuring routing clarity while minimizing overhead in simpler branch environments.

Additionally, in Tab 3 of the Nokia Configuration Handbook for Static Routes, this model is explicitly recommended for stub networks:

“Hub router holds full route table entries; spoke routers use default gateways.”

FromNokia 7750 SR OS OSPF Guide — Area Border Routers (ABRs) Section:

“An ABR is a router connected to both area 0 and at least one non-backbone area, responsible for exchanging routing information between areas.”

ABRs serve as gateways between the backbone area (area 0) and non-backbone areas.

Summarization is optional on ABRs, not mandatory.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (OSPF and IS-IS LSA Aging Rules):

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (OSPF DR/BDR Election):

“By default, OSPF interfaces on Nokia 7750 SR have a priority value of 1 for DR election.”

255 is the highest configurable value (not default).

Thus, correct answer is B.
