JNCIS-ENT OSPF Practice Question

An operator executes the 'show ospf database' command on a Junos device and notices multiple Type 2 Network LSAs. Under which specific network topology condition are Type 2 LSAs generated?

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

Multi-access broadcast segments with an active Designated Router

Type 2 Network LSAs are generated by the Designated Router (DR) on multi-access broadcast or non-broadcast multi-access (NBMA) networks to describe all routers attached to that specific network segment.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • Stub areas filtering out external LSA advertisements

    Why it's wrong here

    Stub areas filter summary/external LSAs and do not dictate the creation of Type 2 LSAs.

  • Virtual links traversing a non-backbone transit area

    Why it's wrong here

    Virtual links are modeled as point-to-point links using Type 1 LSAs.

  • Point-to-point links between two directly connected routers

    Why it's wrong here

    Point-to-point links use Type 1 Router LSAs only and do not require a DR or Type 2 LSAs.

  • Multi-access broadcast segments with an active Designated Router

    Why this is correct

    Type 2 Network LSAs are generated by the DR for multi-access networks.
