JNCIP-ENT Interior Gateway Protocols Practice Question
Which TWO actions can be performed by an OSPF routing policy export filter when redistributing routes into OSPF? (Choose two)
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
✓
Modify the OSPF route metric using the metric action.
Routing policies when exporting into OSPF can set metric types (Type 1 or Type 2) and modify route metrics. They cannot directly change area ID during redistribution without area design changes.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Change the OSPF hello timer interval via routing policy.
Why it's wrong here
Timers are configured under interface settings, not routing policies.
- ✓
Modify the OSPF route metric using the metric action.
Why this is correct
Export policies can assign a specific metric to redistributed routes.
- ✓
Set the external metric type to Type-1 or Type-2.
Why this is correct
Export policies can assign metric-type type-1 or type-2 to redistributed routes.
- ✗
Alter the OSPF router ID of neighboring routers.
Why it's wrong here
Router IDs are local protocol settings or chosen from loopbacks, not export policy actions.
- ✗
Change the OSPF area ID of external routes dynamically.
Why it's wrong here
Area IDs are determined by interface configuration, not export policy actions.
