Sequence the steps for configuring OSPF on a Cisco Nexus switch in a data center fabric.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
First, create the OSPF process with 'router ospf <process-id>'. Second, configure the router ID with 'router-id <id>'. Third, enable OSPF on interfaces using 'ip router ospf <process-id> area <area-id>'. Finally, verify with 'show ip ospf'.
OSPF configuration involves creating the process, setting router ID, enabling on interfaces, and verification.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
First, create the OSPF process with 'router ospf <process-id>'. Second, configure the router ID with 'router-id <id>'. Third, enable OSPF on interfaces using 'ip router ospf <process-id> area <area-id>'. Finally, verify with 'show ip ospf'.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because the OSPF process must exist before setting the router ID, and the router ID is needed before enabling OSPF on interfaces; verification is the final step.
- ✗
First, configure the router ID before creating the OSPF process, then create the process, then enable on interfaces, then verify.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because setting the router ID requires an existing OSPF process; otherwise the command fails or is ignored.
- ✗
First, create the OSPF process, then enable OSPF on interfaces, then configure the router ID, then verify.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because enabling OSPF on interfaces before setting the router ID may result in a dynamically assigned router ID, which is not deterministic and may change after reload.
- ✗
First, enable OSPF on interfaces, then create the OSPF process, then set router ID, then verify.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because OSPF cannot be enabled on interfaces if the OSPF process does not exist yet.
