4A0-113 Exam Dumps : Nokia OSPF Routing Protocol Exam

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (OSPF Operation – Adjacency and Link Failures):

"If connectivity is lost (e.g. link failure between switches), OSPF adjacencies between routers timeout due to absence of Hello packets. When adjacency is lost, LSDB recalculation and LSA flooding occur to inform all routers of the new topology."

The physical interface may remain up (because directly connected interfaces to switches remain electrically active), but no Hello packets are exchanged → triggers adjacency loss → triggers convergence.

LSAs are not sent between routers to notify about link failures directly — they are generated after adjacency loss.

Thus, option A is fully correct.

Let’s break it down step-by-step:

Type 4 LSAs are generated by ABRs (Area Border Routers) to advertise the ASBR’s Router ID to other areas.

The ASBR itself (R1) does not generate Type 4 LSAs.

R1 belongs to Area 1.

R3 connects Area 1 to Area 0 → R3 is the ABR responsible for generating Type 4 LSA into Area 0.

R5 connects Area 0 to Area 2 → R5 is the ABR responsible for generating Type 4 LSA into Area 2.

Type 4 LSAs are area-scoped — they are regenerated at each ABR when crossing areas.

Now let’s analyze the options:

A — Incorrect: R1 (the ASBR) does not generate Type 4 LSAs.

B — Incorrect: R3 does not flood into all areas.

C — Incorrect: R3 does not flood into Area 2.

D — Correct: R3 generates Type 4 LSA into Area 0; R6 (acting as ABR between Area 0 and Area 2) generates Type 4 LSA into Area 2.

Thus, the correct answer is: D

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (OSPFv3 LSA Types):

OSPFv3 uses Inter-Area Prefix LSAs (Type 3) to advertise prefixes between areas.

R4 originates a Router LSA with its local prefixes into Area 0.

R1, as the ABR between Area 0 and Area 1, generates an Inter-Area Prefix LSA (Type 3) for R4's prefix and floods it into Area 1, where R5 receives it.

Thus, correct answer: D.
