H12-831_V1.0 Exam Dumps : HCIP-Datacom-Advanced Routing & Switching Technology V1.0

Step 1: Understanding OSPF Areas and Summarization

Area 1 (NSSA - Not So Stubby Area)

Allows external routes but converts Type-5 LSAs into Type-7 LSAs.

External routes must be translated by an ABR into Type-5 LSAs before being propagated into other areas.

Area 2 (Common Area - Regular OSPF Area)

Supports both inter-area and external routes.

asbr-summary 10.0.4.0 255.255.255.0 Command

This command summarizes all external routes within 10.0.4.0/24 into a single summarized route.

Since it is applied on R1 and R3, these routers will advertise 10.0.4.0/24 instead of 10.0.4.4/32 to their respective areas.

Step 2: Route Distribution Analysis

R4 (Originating Router in NSSA - Area 1)

R4 injects 10.0.4.4/32 as a Type-7 LSA into Area 1.

R1 (ABR between Area 1 & Area 0, Summarizing Route)

Since R1 is an ABR, it translates Type-7 LSAs from Area 1 into a summarized Type-5 LSA (10.0.4.0/24) for Area 0.

✅ R1 has 10.0.4.0/24 in its routing table.

R2 (Inside Backbone Area 0, No ASBR Summary Applied Here)

R2 only receives Type-5 LSAs from R1 but does not summarize them.

Since R2 is not explicitly summarizing, it will likely still see 10.0.4.4/32 rather than 10.0.4.0/24.

❌ R2 does not have 10.0.4.0/24.

R3 (ABR between Area 0 & Area 2, Summarizing Route)

R3 is also an ABR and has the asbr-summary 10.0.4.0/24 command configured.

It will advertise the summarized route 10.0.4.0/24 into Area 2.

✅ R3 has 10.0.4.0/24 in its routing table.

R5 (Inside Area 2, No Direct Connectivity to External Routes)

Since R3 summarizes 10.0.4.0/24, R5 (inside Area 2) will receive only summarized routes.

✅ R5 has 10.0.4.0/24.

Final Answer: ✅ R1, R3 (Option A, C)
