What to know about Interior Gateway Protocols
Interior Gateway Protocols questions test whether you can apply the concept in context, not just recognise a definition.
How the topic appears in realistic exam-style scenarios.
Which detail in the question changes the correct answer.
How to eliminate plausible but wrong options.
How to connect the question back to the wider exam objective.
Watch out for
Common Interior Gateway Protocols exam traps
- ▸Answering from memory before reading the full scenario.
- ▸Missing a constraint such as cost, availability, security, scope or command context.
- ▸Choosing a broad answer when the question asks for the most specific fix.
- ▸Ignoring why the wrong options are tempting.

Which TWO types of OSPF areas allow the generation of Type-7 LSAs? (Choose two)
Medium2You want to filter OSPF Type-3 Summary LSAs leaving Area 1 on an ABR running Junos OS. Where must this export policy be applied?
Medium3Which TWO commands are used to troubleshoot OSPF issues on Junos devices? (Choose two)
Medium4When configuring OSPFv3 authentication, which mechanism is natively utilized in modern Junos implementations since OSPFv3 relies on IPv6 AH/ESP or OSPFv3 Authentication Trailer (RFC 7166)?
Hard5Which OSPFv3 LSA type is responsible for carrying IPv6 prefix information within the same area, replacing the role of Router and Network LSAs carrying IP addresses in OSPFv2?
Easy6Which Junos command displays the link-state database for OSPFv2, showing router LSAs and network LSAs?
Easy7How do you examine the specific OSPF routing table entries learned via OSPF on a Junos device?
Easy8Which Junos configuration command enables MD5 cryptographic authentication on an OSPFv2 interface?
Easy9When redistributing BGP routes into OSPF, what is the default OSPF metric assigned to the redistributed routes in Junos if no metric is specified in the export policy?
Medium10An administrator needs to filter Type-3 LSAs entering an OSPF stub area on a Junos routing device. Which statement under the area hierarchy is required?
Hard11Which TWO statements are true regarding Junos OSPF routing policies and policy evaluation? (Choose two)
Medium12You are configuring OSPF domain-id when redistributing routes between OSPF and BGP (or multiarea setups). Which configuration statement sets the OSPF domain identifier?
Hard13You are configuring OSPFv2 on a Junos device and need to inject default routes into an OSPF NSSA area. Which configuration command under protocols ospf area should be used?
Medium14You are redistributing BGP routes into OSPF on an MX Series router. By default, what metric type and cost are assigned to these redistributed routes when they enter the OSPF domain?
Hard15Which TWO statements are correct regarding OSPF NSSA (Not-So-Stubby Area) behavior and configuration in Junos OS? (Choose two)
Hard16Which THREE parameters must match between two OSPF routers on a shared broadcast segment for an adjacency to successfully form? (Choose three)
Medium17What is the default OSPF reference bandwidth in Junos OS?
Easy18Which command allows you to view the real-time tracing of OSPF packet exchanges and state changes on a Junos device?
Easy19Which THREE configuration tasks are required when implementing OSPFv3 on Junos devices? (Choose three)
Hard20You want to tune the speed at which OSPF processes link-state updates by modifying the SPF calculation delay and hold timers. Where are these timers configured?
Medium21You need to modify the priority of a Junos OSPF interface to ensure it becomes the designated router (DR). Which command accomplishes this?
Medium22Which statement correctly describes the function of an OSPF Stub Area?
Easy23Which Junos configuration hierarchy is used to disable the generation of OSPF Type-7 to Type-5 LSA translation on an NSSA Area Border Router (ABR)?
Easy24Which TWO actions can you take in Junos OS to optimize OSPF convergence times in a large enterprise network? (Choose two)
Hard25You need to prevent an OSPF interface from participating in Designated Router (DR) election, forcing it to always act as a DROTHER, even if it has the highest priority. How is this achieved in Junos?
Hard26Which THREE types of LSAs are blocked from entering an OSPF Totally Stubby Area? (Choose three)
Hard27When configuring OSPF sham-links in Junos to support MPLS VPN back-door links, which TWO characteristics apply? (Choose two)
Hard28Which TWO actions can be performed by an OSPF routing policy export filter when redistributing routes into OSPF? (Choose two)
Medium29Which THREE mechanisms are utilized by Junos to protect OSPF routing operations and control plane resources? (Choose three)
Hard30Which command verifies the OSPF neighbor states and adjacency progress on a Junos device?
Easy31An engineer is configuring OSPFv3 on Junos OS and notices that adjacencies are failing to form over a point-to-point link. Reviewing the interface configuration, what is a mandatory requirement for OSPFv3 interface configuration that differs fundamentally from OSPFv2?
Hard32An engineer needs to prevent Type-5 LSAs from entering an OSPF stub area while still allowing external routes to be reached via a default route. Which configuration statement under [edit protocols ospf area] achieves this on a Juniper device?
Medium33You are designing a routing policy to tag routes being redistributed from OSPF into BGP. Where in the routing policy should the tag match condition be placed?
Medium34You need to ensure that an OSPF interface does not send or receive OSPF hellos, but its subnet is still advertised into the OSPF domain. What configuration achieves this in Junos?
Medium35You want to tune OSPF convergence by reducing the hello and dead intervals on a point-to-point interface. Which configuration is valid?
Medium36Which THREE parameters must match between OSPF routers for an adjacency to successfully form on a point-to-point network? (Choose three)
Hard37You want to change the OSPF reference bandwidth globally on a Junos routing device to accurately calculate costs for high-speed interfaces. Where is this configured?
Medium38You are tasked with summarizing internal OSPF routes on an Area Border Router (ABR). Which configuration statement accomplishes route summarization for an area?
Medium39You need to adjust the OSPF cost on a specific interface to manipulate path selection. Which command sets the OSPF cost on an interface?
Medium40When configuring OSPFv3, which Junos address-family hierarchy is used to enable OSPFv3 on an interface?
Easy41You are redistributing static routes into OSPF on a Junos device and want to assign a specific metric type to the resulting External LSAs. Where is this metric-type defined?
Medium42You are configuring OSPF database overflow protection to prevent a router from running out of memory due to an excessive number of external LSAs in the LSDB. Which configuration enables this feature globally?
Hard43An OSPF area in your network contains multiple ABRs. You need to suppress the generation of Type-4 summary LSAs into a totally stubby area. How does Junos handle this natively?
Hard44You are configuring an OSPF NSSA and want to suppress the translation of Type-7 LSAs into Type-5 LSAs on one of the ABRs because another ABR is already performing the translation. Which statement is used?
Hard45You need to configure OSPFv2 graceful restart as a helper on a Junos router to assist neighboring routers during their routing engine switchover. Which command enables helper mode?
Hard46You are troubleshooting an OSPF network where virtual links are deployed to connect a non-backbone area to Area 0 across a transit area. Which statement is true regarding virtual link configuration in Junos?
