**Section 1: OSPF Basics**
1. **What is the primary purpose of OSPF?**
a) To connect autonomous systems (AS) on the internet
b) To dynamically exchange routing information within an AS
c) To encrypt traffic between routers
d) To assign IP addresses to devices
2. **Which OSPF area is considered the "backbone"?**
a) Area 0
b) Area 1
c) Stub Area
d) NSSA
3. **How does OSPF elect a Router ID (RID)?**
a) Manually configured or highest IPv4 loopback address
b) Randomly generated
c) Based on MAC address
d) Assigned by a DHCP server
4. **What is the default OSPF Hello interval on a broadcast network (e.g., Ethernet)?**
a) 10 seconds
b) 30 seconds
c) 40 seconds
d) 5 seconds
5. **What is the role of a Designated Router (DR) in OSPF?**
a) To reduce routing table size
b) To forward traffic between areas
c) To optimize LSA flooding on multi-access networks
d) To encrypt OSPF packets
6. **What is a Stub Area in OSPF?**
a) An area that blocks Type 5 LSAs
b) An area that blocks Type 3 LSAs
c) An area that allows all LSAs
d) An area used for external route redistribution
7. **Which LSA type describes a router’s directly connected links?**
a) Type 1 (Router LSA)
b) Type 2 (Network LSA)
c) Type 3 (Summary LSA)
d) Type 5 (External LSA)
8. **What device generates Type 3 LSAs?**
a) ABR (Area Border Router)
b) ASBR (Autonomous System Boundary Router)
c) Internal Router
d) DR (Designated Router)
9. **What is the purpose of an NSSA (Not-So-Stubby Area)?**
a) To allow limited external routes while blocking most Type 5 LSAs
b) To encrypt OSPF traffic
c) To merge multiple OSPF areas
d) To disable OSPF authentication
10. **Which LSA type is used for external routes (e.g., routes redistributed from RIP)?**
a) Type 5
b) Type 7
c) Type 3
d) Type 1
