Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

OSPF uses different types of LSAs to describe different aspects of the network topology. Type 1 LSAs are also known as router LSAs, and they describe the links and interfaces of a router within an area. Type 3 LSAs are also known as summary LSAs, and they describe routes to networks outside an area but within the same autonomous system (AS). By default, OSPF will summarize routes from Type 1 LSAs into Type 3 LSAs when advertising them across area boundaries .

I disagree, I believe option B is the correct answer. The area-range command must be installed on all routers to enable summary LSAs.

I think option D is the correct answer. The metric associated with a summary route should be the lowest metric of the individual contributing routes.
