QuestionQ77

OSPF

Question Image

R1 was started at 4:00 PM. R2 and R3 were started at 6:00 PM. R4 was started at 10:00 PM. All routers are in Area 0, and no point-to-point links exist.

With reference to the exhibit, which router is the designated router?

  • A R4
  • B R2
  • C R1
  • D R3
Explanation

On a broadcast or NBMA OSPF network, a router whose interface becomes operational accepts an existing designated router regardless of router priority. R1 starts before the other routers and becomes the designated router; the later-starting routers do not preempt it. Router priority and router ID are used to choose a router only when an election is required without an existing DR.
