300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command to verify OSPFv3…

A network engineer runs the following command to verify OSPFv3 database:

R1# show ipv6 ospf database router 2.2.2.2

OSPFv3 Router with ID (1.1.1.1) (Process ID 1)

Router Link States (Area 0)

LS age: 60 LS Type: Router Links Link State ID: 0.0.0.0 Advertising Router: 2.2.2.2 LS Seq Number: 80000003 Checksum: 0x5678 Length: 40 Number of Links: 1

Link connected to: a Transit Network (Link ID) Interface ID: 2 (Link Data) Neighbor Interface ID: 1 Number of TOS 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 LSA indicates a single transit link with interface IDs, typical for OSPFv3.

The output shows an OSPFv3 Router LSA from router 2.2.2.2 with one link to a transit network, using interface IDs instead of IP addresses.

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 LSA shows a link to a stub network with prefix information.

    Why it's wrong here

    The link is to a transit network, not a stub network.

  • The LSA indicates a single transit link with interface IDs, typical for OSPFv3.

    Why this is correct

    OSPFv3 uses interface IDs to identify links, and this LSA shows one transit link.

  • The advertising router is 1.1.1.1.

    Why it's wrong here

    The advertising router is 2.2.2.2.

  • This is a Type 5 External LSA.

    Why it's wrong here

    The LS Type is Router Links, which is Type 1.
