Just a fact, R1 and R2 are critical links in the setup.

I’m leaning towards making R11 an L2 router instead.

Wait, why would we make Area 0 L2-only? Seems risky.

Totally agree, that should help with redundancy!

I think making R3 an L1L2 router is the best option.

I vaguely recall that L2 routers can handle more traffic, but I’m not certain if making R11 an L2 router is the right move for this scenario.

I’m a bit confused about the area types. I thought making Area 0 L2-only could simplify routing, but would it really help with the outage?

I think we practiced a similar question where we had to choose between L1 and L2 routers. I feel like making R3 an L1L2 router could help with failover.

I remember we discussed the importance of having redundancy in network designs, but I'm not sure which router type would best ensure continuity here.

This is a good test of our understanding of OSPF network design. I think I'll start by eliminating the options that don't seem to directly address the issue of network continuity.

I'm a bit confused by the different router levels mentioned in the options. I'll need to refresh my knowledge on OSPF before I can decide on the best approach.

Alright, I've studied the diagram and I'm pretty confident that option B is the right solution here. Making R3 an L1L2 router should provide the network redundancy we need.

Okay, let me take a closer look at the exhibit. I think I have an idea, but I want to double-check the details before committing to an answer.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the network diagram and think through the different options.

I think making Area 0 L2-only could also be a good solution to ensure network continuity.

But making R3 an L1L2 router would provide better network continuity in case of link failure.

I disagree, I believe making R11 an L2 router would be a better option.

I think the solution should include making R3 an L1L2 router.
