An L1 router has formed an adjacency with an L1-L2 router.
Under which condition will the L1-L2 router set the attach bit in its Level 1 link-state PDUs?

A.
when the L1-L2 router forms an adjacency with another L1 router in the same area

B.
when the L1-L2 router forms an adjacency with an L2 router in the same area

C.
when the L1-L2 router forms an adjacency with an L2 router in a different area

D.
when the L1-L2 router forms an adjacency with an L1 router in a different area

Explanation:
L1 routers use L1/L2 routers as the next hop for the default route 0.0.0.0/0. The L1/L2 routers do not advertise
a default route—instead, the L1/L2 routers set the attached bit, which is advertised to the L1 router and causes
the L1 router to install a default route with the L1/L2 router as the next hop.
If an L1/L2 router does not have an L2 adjacency to a different area than its own, the L1/L2 router will not set
the attach bit, resulting in the L1 routers not installing a default route.

      agree, C correct

      When a routing device that operates as both a Level 1 and Level 2 router (Router B) determines that it can reach at least one area other than its own (for example, in Area Y), it sets the ATTACHED bit in its Level 1 link-state PDU. Thereafter, the Level 1 router (Router A) introduces a default route pointing to the nearest attached routing device that operates as both a Level 1 and Level 2 router (Router B). See Figure 1.

    Option C, Final answer.

    Though this question is testing on the use of attached-bit, it is also testing on the is-is adjacency formation.

    simple rule:

    A Level-1 router can form adjacency with another Level-1 or Level-1-2 router only, and a Level-2 router can form adjacency with a Level-2 or Level-1-2 router only.
