Which configuration must be implemented on router R8 so that it will establish OSPF adjacency with R5?

AOption A

BOption B

COption C

DOption D

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

OSPF adjacency is established when two OSPF routers have matching interface parameters. This includes the OSPF router ID, network address, area ID, and other OSPF-specific configurations such as MTU size and network type. For example, the configuration commands provided in the image description suggest setting the OSPF router ID, network address with a wildcard mask, and specifying the OSPF area. Additionally, the interface is set to a point-to-point network type with a specific MTU size, which is important for OSPF adjacency as mismatched MTU sizes can prevent OSPF neighbors from forming an adjacency.

Wait, why are we even considering Option D? Seems off.

OSPF needs matching area IDs to form adjacencies.

I practiced a similar question last week, and I think the key is ensuring both routers are in the same OSPF area. I just can't remember which option reflects that.

I feel like Option C might be the right choice since it specifies the correct network statement, but I can't recall the details clearly.

I remember a practice question where we had to configure OSPF neighbors, and I think it involved matching the subnet masks. Could that be relevant here?

I think we need to check the OSPF area configuration on R8 to match R5, but I'm not entirely sure which option does that.

I'm a bit stumped on this question. The different network diagrams are making it hard for me to determine the correct configuration. I'll need to take some time to carefully analyze each option before selecting my answer.

Okay, I think I've got this. Based on the network topology, Option B looks like the right configuration to enable the OSPF adjacency between R8 and R5. I'll double-check my work, but I'm feeling confident about this one.

Hmm, the diagrams are a bit confusing. I'm not sure which option will establish the OSPF adjacency between R8 and R5. I'll need to review my OSPF knowledge to figure this out.

This looks like a tricky OSPF adjacency question. I'll need to carefully analyze the network diagrams to determine the correct configuration for R8.

Hmm, I'm not sure. All these options look a bit confusing. Maybe I should have paid more attention in the OSPF lectures.

Option C looks like the correct answer. The interface on R8 needs to be configured as a point-to-point connection to establish OSPF adjacency with R5.

Yes, the interface on R8 should be configured as a point-to-point connection.
