Question 33 Discussion

Refer to the exhibits. FGT-1 is an area border router (ABR) that has interfaces in OSPF areas 0.0.0.0 and 0.0.0.5. FGT-3 acts as an autonomous system border router (ASBR), importing static routes into OSPF. FGT-2 is an internal router with all its interfaces belonging to area 0.0.0.5. FGT-1 is receiving all advertised routes from FGT-2, however, FGT-3 is not receiving any of the advertised routes from FGT-1. What is the most likely reason for this? (Choose one answer)

  • A. Area 0.0.0.5 is configured not to propagate type 5 LSAs.
  • B. FGT-2 is configured with a distribution list to block all advertised routes from FGT-3.
  • C. FGT-3 and FGT-2 have not formed an OSPF adjacency yet.
  • D. IP protocol 89 is blocked between FGT-1 and FGT-3.

Area 5 is stub area, so LSA Type 5 from FGT-3 will be filtered by ABR FGT-1 and won't be advertised to FGT-2 in the stub area, and instead, ABR FGT-1 will push default route to FGT-2 in the stub area, but how can that explain why FGT-3 is not receiving any routes from ABR FGT-1?
FGT-2 in the stub area will advertise its LSA Type 1 and 2 routes normally to ABR FGT-1, and ABR FGT-1 will advertise them as LSA Type 3 to FGT-3, so this route advertisement out of stub area should be fine?

    It doesn’t explain it.

    If it was that FGT 2 is the one that doesn’t receive the routes from 3 it would’ve made total sense.
