Huawei H12-831_V1.0 Exam - Topic 4 Question 79 Discussion

Actual exam question for Huawei's H12-831_V1.0 exam

Question #: 79
Topic #: 4

On the OSPFv3 network shown in the figure, area 1 is a stub area.

Which of the following LSAs is generated by only one router?

A. Inter-Area-Prefix-LSA B. Link-LSA C. Network-LSA D. Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA

AInter-Area-Prefix-LSA (Type 3) (Incorrect)
Generated by an ABR to advertise prefixes between OSPF areas.
More than one ABR can generate this LSA.
Not always generated by only one router.

BLink-LSA (Type 8) (Incorrect)
Each router generates its own Link-LSA for each link it participates in.
This means multiple routers can generate this LSA.
Not generated by only one router.

CNetwork-LSA (Type 2) (Correct)
Generated ONLY by the Designated Router (DR) on a multi-access network (such as an Ethernet link).
Other routers do not generate this LSA, only the DR does.
Correct answer: This LSA is generated by only one router (the DR).

DIntra-Area-Prefix-LSA (Type 9) (Incorrect)
Generated by any router to advertise IPv6 prefixes within an area.
Multiple routers in an area can generate this LSA.
Not generated by only one router.
Final Conclusion:
C. Network-LSA (Type 2) is the correct answer because it is generated by only one router---the Designated Router (DR).
Thus, the correct answer is: C. Network-LSA.

Understanding OSPFv3 LSA Types

OSPFv3 uses different LSA types than OSPFv2, with some being similar in function:

Link-LSA (Type 8): Generated by every router on a link to advertise link-local IPv6 information.

Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA (Type 9): Advertises IPv6 prefixes within an area.

Network-LSA (Type 2): Generated only by the Designated Router (DR) to advertise information about all routers on a multi-access network.

Inter-Area-Prefix-LSA (Type 3): Advertises network prefixes between OSPF areas (generated by ABRs).

I thought it could be Network-LSA too, but I guess not.

This question is a piece of cake! Link-LSA for sure.

Hmm, I think it's Inter-Area-Prefix-LSA. That's my best guess.

Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA seems like the obvious choice here.

I believe the Inter-Area-Prefix-LSA is the one generated by only one router, but I might be mixing it up with the others.

I feel like the Network-LSA is also generated by a single router, but I can't recall the specifics of how it works in a stub area.

I remember practicing a question about stub areas, and I think the Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA is generated by multiple routers, not just one.

I think the Link-LSA is generated by the router itself, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only one.

Yes, that's it! The Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA is the only one that's generated by a single router in a stub area. I feel confident about this one.

I'm pretty sure the Link-LSA is generated by each router to describe its own links, so that's not the answer. That leaves the Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA, which is generated by the Area Border Router to describe the prefixes within the area.

Okay, let's see. I know that in a stub area, there are no external routes, so that rules out the Inter-Area-Prefix-LSA. The Network-LSA is generated by the Designated Router, so that's not it either.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the characteristics of each LSA type and how they apply to a stub area.
