When using the OSPF dynamic routing protocol on an Aruba CX switch, what must match on the neighboring devices to exchange routes?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

OSPF Open Shortest Path First. OSPF is a link-state routing protocol that uses a hierarchical structure to create a routing topology for IP networks. OSPF routers exchange routing information with their neighbors using Hello packets, which are sent periodically on each interface. To establish an adjacency Adjacency is a relationship formed between selected neighboring routers for the purpose of exchanging routing information., OSPF routers must agree on several parameters, including Hello timers, which specify how often Hello packets are sent on an interface. If the Hello timers do not match between neighboring routers, they will not form an adjacency and will not exchange routes.

I'm just going to go with 'all of the above' and hope for the best. Aruba's OSPF is probably like playing networking bingo - you never know what combination is going to win.

I'm not sure, but I think it's either A) Hello timers or D) BDR configuration.

Wait, did you say Aruba? I thought this was a Cisco exam! Those Aruba switches are like the Bermuda Triangle of networking - you never know what's going to happen.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure it's the DR configuration that needs to match. Those Aruba guys love their redundancy, so the BDR has to be in sync too.

Yes, the BDR configuration also needs to match for redundancy.

I think you're right, the DR configuration needs to match for OSPF to work properly.

I agree with Harris, because Hello timers need to match for OSPF to work properly.

Wow, that's a tough one! I bet the hello timers need to match, but who knows what other voodoo magic Aruba's OSPF implementation requires. Time to hit the lab and test it out!
