this problem? (Choose two.)

PrepAway - Latest Free Exam Questions & Answers

A.
All of the routers need to be configured for backbone Area 1.

B.
R1 and R2 are the DR and BDR, so OSPF will not establish neighbor adjacency with R3.

C.
A static route has been configured from R1 to R3 and prevents the neighbor adjacency from
being established.

D.
The hello and dead interval timers are not set to the same values on R1 and R3.

E.
EIGRP is also configured on these routers with a lower administrative distance.

F.
R1 and R3 are configured in different areas.

Explanation:
This question is to examine the conditions for OSPF to create neighborhood.
So as to make the two routers become neighbors, each router must be matched with the following
items:
1. The area ID and its types;
2. Hello and failure time interval timer;
3. OSPF Password (Optional);

    Admittedly, I had to READ F. the “other way” to realize that it did not mean that it was a AREA ID….at glance it came across as different area LEVEL ie 1 and the diagram clearly shows 0.

    Remember you’re troubleshooting, the implementation of the intended diagram can be flawed… thats why it’s not working and you’ve been brought in to fix it. I did the same thing initially and saw the Area 0 around all and assumed that was correct, until I read through all of the answers and decided that the only VALID answers included F (and hence, the diagram’s intention has’t been implemented correctly).
