300-410 Exam - Question 224


Refer to the exhibit. An error message "an OSPF-4-FLOOD_WAR" is received on SW2 from SW1. SW2 is repeatedly receiving its own link-state advertisement and flushes it from the network. Which action resolves the issue?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

The issue described, where SW2 is repeatedly receiving its own link-state advertisement and then flushing it, typically occurs due to the presence of a duplicate IP address in the network. OSPF relies on unique IP addresses for each router to properly identify and handle link-state advertisements (LSAs). When a duplicate IP address exists, OSPF gets confused and treats the LSAs incorrectly, causing them to be repeatedly received and flushed. Resolving the duplicate IP address issue will ensure that OSPF can correctly handle and manage these advertisements, thus resolving the problem.

The question is based on this cisco document: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/open-shortest-path-first-ospf/118880-technote-ospf-00.html "This is meant to detect issues with Type-2 LSAs when duplicate IP addresses are present in the network, or with Type-5 LSAs when there is a duplicate router ID in different OSPF Areas."
