300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command to verify OSPF…
A network engineer runs the following command to verify OSPF database on a DMVPN hub:
R1# show ip ospf database router 2.2.2.2
OSPF Router with ID (1.1.1.1) (Process ID 1)
Router Link States (Area 0)
LS age: 100 Options: (No TOS-capability, DC) LS Type: Router Links Link State ID: 2.2.2.2 Advertising Router: 2.2.2.2 LS Seq Number: 80000001 Checksum: 0x1234 Length: 48 Number of Links: 1
Link connected to: a Transit Network (Link ID) Designated Router address: 10.0.0.1 (Link Data) Router Interface address: 10.0.0.2 Number of MTID metrics: 0 TOS 0 Metrics: 10
What does this output indicate?
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
✓
The router 2.2.2.2 is connected to the DR at 10.0.0.1 over the DMVPN tunnel with cost 10.
The output shows the router LSA from 2.2.2.2, advertising a link to a transit network (the DMVPN tunnel) with metric 10, indicating the spoke is connected to the hub's DR.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The router 2.2.2.2 is advertising a stub network via Tunnel0.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because the link type is 'Transit Network', not stub.
- ✓
The router 2.2.2.2 is connected to the DR at 10.0.0.1 over the DMVPN tunnel with cost 10.
Why this is correct
Correct: The LSA shows a transit link to DR 10.0.0.1 with metric 10.
- ✗
The router 2.2.2.2 is the DR for the DMVPN network.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because the DR address is 10.0.0.1, not 2.2.2.2.
- ✗
The OSPF database is empty; no LSAs have been received.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because the LSA is present.

Quick reference
Routing Protocol Comparison
| Protocol | Metric | Max Hops | Algorithm | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RIP v2 | Hop count | 15 | Bellman-Ford | Distance vector |
| OSPF | Cost (bandwidth) | Unlimited | Dijkstra (SPF) | Link state |
| EIGRP | Composite metric | Unlimited | DUAL | Hybrid |
| IS-IS | Cost | Unlimited | Dijkstra | Link state |
| BGP | Policy / attributes | Unlimited | Path vector | Path vector |
RIP's 15-hop limit makes it unsuitable for large networks. OSPF and EIGRP dominate modern enterprise deployments.
