JNCIP-ENT Interior Gateway Protocols Practice Question

You are tasked with summarizing internal OSPF routes on an Area Border Router (ABR). Which configuration statement accomplishes route summarization for an area?

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

set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.1 area-range 10.10.0.0/16

Internal route summarization on an OSPF ABR in Junos is configured using the 'area-range' statement under the specific area hierarchy.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • set protocols ospf summary 10.10.0.0/16 area 0.0.0.1

    Why it's wrong here

    The summary keyword is not used this way in Junos OSPF.

  • set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.1 aggregate 10.10.0.0/16

    Why it's wrong here

    Aggregate is used in BGP routing policies, not OSPF area configuration.

  • set routing-options aggregate route 10.10.0.0/16 ospf

    Why it's wrong here

    Aggregate routes belong in routing-options but are exported via policy, whereas OSPF internal summarization uses area-range.

  • set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.1 area-range 10.10.0.0/16

    Why this is correct

    The 'area-range' command summarizes routes advertised from the specified area into the backbone or other areas.
