Question Image

Why would OSPF be configured to use the IP address 10.1.200.1 as its router ID?

  • A The IP address associated with the loopback interface is non-routable and prevents loops.
  • B The loopback interface state is dependent on the management interface state and reduces routing updates.
  • C The IP address associated with the loopback interface is routable and prevents loops.
  • D The loopback interface state is independent of any physical interface and reduces routing updates.
Explanation

A loopback interface remains operational independently of physical-interface state, providing a stable OSPF router ID. Using that stable address avoids router-ID recalculation and the associated routing-information updates that can occur when an interface used for the router ID goes down.
