Question 539

Refer to the exhibit. Which configuration is required to summarize the Area 2 networks that are advertised to Area 0?

    Correct Answer: A

    To summarize the Area 2 networks that are advertised to Area 0, you need to create a summary address that aggregates the three /24 subnets: 192.168.36.0/24, 192.168.37.0/24, and 192.168.38.0/24. The appropriate summary address for these networks is 192.168.36.0 with a subnet mask of 255.255.252.0 (/22), which covers the entire range from 192.168.36.0 to 192.168.39.255. Configuring the command 'area 2 range 192.168.36.0 255.255.252.0' on Router B achieves this summary.

This is really a subnetting question. Nothing really to do with OSPF if you think about what the question is asking you. It wants you to summarize 3 /24s B only covers one /24.. what about the other two networks? WRONG C is getting somewhere with a /22 but the wrong network ID is listed. 38.0 in a /22 is a client IP, not a network IP D is like B, it only covers the first /24 and not the entire /22 we need to include all 3 /24s A is the only answer that works. in a /22, 192.168.36.0 is a network IP that covers up to 192.168.39.255

its always area you are summarizing from. In this case we are summerzing area 2 routes and check aggregated (Supernet) Mask.

+ you'll see this summary route on the ABR, it will reject all traffic that does not match more specific route in this range (everything in range 55.0.0.0/18 -> Null0 except 55.0.0.0/24 ) cisco_R3#show ip route ospf | b Ga Gateway of last resort is 2.2.2.2 to network 0.0.0.0 55.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks O 55.0.0.0/18 is a summary, 00:07:13, Null0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< reject O 55.0.0.0/24 [110/101] via 10.111.10.2, 00:07:13, Ethernet0/0.50 <<<<<<<<< except this cisco_R3#

Provided answer is correct.

Eyad_AlotaibiOption: A

How many hosts in each network? /24 = 255 hosts How many networks do we have to summarize them? 3 (192.168.36.0 - 192.168.37.0 - 192.168.38.0). Let's multiply: 255 x 3 = 765 What is the closest prefix that contains 765 host? /23 255.255.255.252 The answer is 192.168.36.0 255.255.252.0 A is correct.

* What is the closest prefix that contains 765 host? /23 255.255.252.0

Eyad_Alotaibi

It should be /22 not 23, sorry again
