NSE7 Advanced Networking and SD-WAN Practice Question
A FortiGate is configured with OSPF and BGP. The administrator wants to redistribute OSPF routes into BGP. Which TWO steps are required?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often assume a route map is mandatory for redistribution, but the exam tests the knowledge that only the redistribution command and the presence of routes in the routing table are strictly required.
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
✓
Use the 'redistribute ospf' command under the BGP configuration
The 'redistribute ospf' command under BGP configuration is the explicit method to inject OSPF-learned routes into the BGP table. This command triggers the redistribution process, allowing OSPF routes to be advertised to BGP peers.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure a route map to filter the routes being redistributed
Why it's wrong here
A route map is optional, not required; redistribution can be done without filtering.
- ✗
Set the BGP table version to 2
Why it's wrong here
BGP table version is not a user-configurable parameter.
- ✓
Use the 'redistribute ospf' command under the BGP configuration
Why this is correct
This enables redistribution of OSPF routes into BGP.
- ✓
Ensure the OSPF routes are present in the routing table
Why this is correct
Only routes that are in the routing table can be redistributed.
- ✗
Disable OSPF on the interface
Why it's wrong here
Disabling OSPF would remove routes, not help.
