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

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

1. Understanding the Network Topology

R1 and R2 are OSPF-enabled routers connected via the 10.0.12.0/24 subnet (Area 0).

PC1 (192.168.1.2/30) is connected to R1 via GE0/0/1.

PC2 (192.168.1.22/30) is connected to R2 via GE0/0/1.

OSPF ensures that R1 and R2 know about each other's directly connected networks.

2. Analyzing Connectivity

Can R1 ping 192.168.1.22 (PC2)?

Yes, if routing is properly configured.

OSPF ensures that R1 learns about 192.168.1.22 from R2.

Since R1 has a route to 192.168.1.22 via R2, it can ping PC2 successfully.

✅ Option A is correct.

Can R1 ping 192.168.1.21 (R2's interface)?

Yes, since R1 and R2 are OSPF neighbors.

R1 learns 192.168.1.21 via OSPF and can reach it directly.

✅ Option B is correct.

Can R2 ping 192.168.1.2 (PC1)?

Yes, since OSPF ensures that R2 learns about 192.168.1.2 from R1.

Since R2 has a route to 192.168.1.2 via R1, it can ping PC1 successfully.

✅ Option C is correct.

Can PC1 and PC2 ping each other?

Yes, if default gateways and routing are configured correctly.

If R1 and R2 can ping each other and forward packets, PC1 and PC2 should be able to communicate.

❌ Option D is incorrect because PC1 and PC2 should be able to ping each other.

Final Answer:

✅ A, B, and C are correct.
