Actual exam question for Juniper's JN0-281 exam
Question #: 14
Topic #: 1
[All JN0-281 Questions]

Exhibit:

R2 received an OSPF update from R1, and it received the same update from R3.

Referring to the exhibit, what will R2 do?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In the exhibit, R2 receives the same OSPF update from both R1 and R3. OSPF has mechanisms to prevent unnecessary processing of duplicate LSAs (Link-State Advertisements).

Step-by-Step Breakdown:

OSPF LSA Processing:

OSPF uses LSAs to exchange link-state information between routers. When a router receives an LSA, it checks if it already has a copy of the LSA in its Link-State Database (LSDB).

Duplicate LSAs:

If R2 has already received and processed the update from R1, it will ignore the update from R3 because it already has the same LSA in its database. OSPF uses the concept of flooding, but it does not reprocess LSAs that it already knows about.

R2 Behavior:

R2 will keep the update from R1 (the first one it received) and will ignore the same LSA from R3, as it is already in the LSDB.

Juniper Reference:

OSPF LSA Processing: Junos adheres to OSPF standards, ensuring that duplicate LSAs are not processed multiple times to avoid unnecessary recalculations.

R2 does nothing with R3's update, that's how OSPF works!

I think R2 just acknowledges R3 and moves on.

Wait, why would it ignore R1's update? That seems off.

Totally agree, R2 prioritizes the first update it received.

Option D is just plain silly. Why would R2 acknowledge and then discard the update from R3? That makes no sense.

Haha, I bet the exam writer was trying to trick us with those other options. Nice try, but I'm not falling for it!

I agree with John. R2 should only process the update from one of the routers to avoid duplicate information.

Option A is the correct answer. R2 should ignore the update from R1 since it received the same update from R3.

I feel like R2 should acknowledge the update from R3, but then again, I can't recall if it would discard it or not.

I remember a practice question where a router had to choose between two updates, and it always preferred the one with the lower cost. Is that relevant here?

Ah, I see now. R2 should ignore the duplicate update from R3 since it has already processed the same update from R1. Option C is the correct answer.

That makes sense. I'm leaning towards option C, where R2 ignores the update from R3. But I'll double-check the OSPF rules to be sure.

I think R2 might ignore the update from R1 since it already got the same info from R3, but I'm not entirely sure.

I think the key is to understand how OSPF handles duplicate updates. If I remember correctly, R2 should ignore the update from R1 since it already received the same update from R3.

R2 ignores the update from R1, makes sense to me.

I think R2 does nothing with R3's update because it already has the same information from R1, but I could be mixing it up with another scenario.

Okay, so R2 received the same OSPF update from two different routers, R1 and R3. I'm a bit confused on what the right action would be here.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky OSPF routing question. I'll need to carefully review the exhibit and think through the OSPF update process.
