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

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

According to Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (OSPF and IS-IS operation, Chapter: Link-State Protocol Operation):

B (Correct):

"Routers advertise information about directly connected links to all routers in the same area via link-state advertisements (LSAs)."

C (Correct):

"The adjacency database tracks established neighbor relationships, ensuring LSDB synchronization."

E (Correct):

"All routers within the same OSPF or IS-IS area have identical link-state databases after full synchronization."

Incorrect options:

A: Link-state protocols exchange only link-state information, not full routing tables (that’s distance-vector behavior).

D: Sequence numbers are incremented by the originator when generating LSAs, not by intermediate routers during flooding.

Analysis of the Exhibit:

The two routers are exchanging OSPF Hello packets.

Both Hello packets contain:

Same Hello and Dead Intervals.

Same Options field.

Same Router Priority.

Same subnet mask.

Authentication: Null.

BUT — The key issue is:

The Area ID is different:

Left router: Area ID 0.0.0.0

Right router: Area ID 0.0.1.1

OSPF Neighbor Formation Rule:

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (OSPF Neighbor Adjacency Criteria):

“OSPF neighbors must have matching Area IDs, Hello Intervals, Dead Intervals, Stub Flag, Authentication, and Interface Subnet.”

Since the Area IDs are mismatched, adjacency will not form.

—

Thus, correct answer:

B. The adjacency is down.

—

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

OSPF adjacency formation fails when Area IDs do not match. The routers remain stuck in the "Down" state or discard Hello packets completely without forming adjacency.

Fully verified and aligned with Nokia 7750 SR OS documentation.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (Distance Vector Fundamentals):

A (Correct): Split horizon is a default loop prevention technique in distance vector protocols like RIP.

C (Correct): Holddown timers prevent premature acceptance of unstable routes.

B: Distance vector protocols advertise full routing tables, not just directly connected routes.

D: This is a characteristic of link-state protocols (OSPF/IS-IS).

Thus, correct answers are A and C.
