HPE6-A45 Exam - Question 46


Refer to the exhibit.

Switch-2, Switch-5, and Switch-6 currently have many OSPF routes to Area 1 networks. The network administrator wants to replace these routes with a single aggregated route to 10.1.0.0/16 on each switch. Where should the administrator specify the 10.1.0.0/16 range?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

To replace the many OSPF routes with a single aggregated route to 10.1.0.0/16 on Switch-2, Switch-5, and Switch-6, the network administrator should specify the 10.1.0.0/16 range in the Switch-1 OSPF Area 1 configuration. This is because Switch-1 acts as the Area Border Router (ABR) connecting Area 1 (10.1.0.0/16) to the backbone Area 0. Summarization is configured on ABRs to reduce the number of routes advertised between areas, and thus the correct configuration should be done on Switch-1 for Area 1.
