NEW QUESTION # 23
Exhibit
You have MAC addresses moving in your EVPN environment
Referring to the exhibit, which two statements are correct about the sequence number? (Choose two)
- A. It resolves conflicting MAC address ownership claims.
- B. It is advertised using a Type 2 message
- C. It identifies MAC addresses that should be discarded.
- D. It helps the local PE to identify the latest advertisement.
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
Explanation
The sequence number is a field in the MAC mobility extended community that is used to resolve conflicting MAC address ownership claims and to help the local PE to identify the latest advertisement. The sequence number is incremented by one for every MAC address mobility event, such as when a host moves from one Ethernet segment to another segment in the EVPN network. The PE device that receives multiple MAC advertisements for the same MAC address chooses the one with the highest sequence number as the most recent and valid advertisement.
NEW QUESTION # 24
Exhibit.
Referring to the exhibit; the 10.0.0.0/24 EBGP route is received on R5; however, the route is being hidden.
What are two solutions that will solve this problem? (Choose two.)
- A. Add the internal interface prefix to the BGP routing tables.
- B. Add the external interface prefix to the IGP routing tables
- C. On R4, create a policy to change the BGP next hop to 172.16.1.1 and apply it to IBGP as an export policy
- D. On R4, create a policy to change the BGP next hop to itself and apply it to IBGP as an export policy
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
Explanation
the default behavior for iBGP is to propagate EBGP-learned prefixes without changing the next-hop. This can cause issues if the next-hop is not reachable via the IGP. One solution is to use the next-hop self command on R4, which will change the next-hop attribute to its own loopback address. This way, R5 can reach the next-hop via the IGP and install the route in its routing table.
Another solution is to add the external interface prefix (120.0.4.16/30) to the IGP routing tables of R4 and R5.
This will also make the next-hop reachable via the IGP and allow R5 to use the route. According to 2, this is a possible workaround for a pure IP network, but it may not work well for an MPLS network.
NEW QUESTION # 25
Exhibit
CE-1 and CE-2 are part of a VPLS called Customer1 No connectivity exists between CE-1 and CE-2. In the process of troubleshooting, you notice PE-1 is not learning any routes for this VPLS from PE-2, and PE-2 is not learning any routes for this VPLS from PE-1.
- A. The route distinguisher must match on PE-1 and PE-2.
- B. The route target must match on PE-1 and PE-2.
- C. The instance type should be changed to I2vpn.
- D. The no-tunnel-services statement should be deleted on both PEs.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
VPLS is a technology that provides Layer 2 VPN services over an MPLS network. VPLS uses BGP as its control protocol to exchange VPN membership information between PE routers. The route target is a BGP extended community attribute that identifies which VPN a route belongs to. The route target must match on PE routers that participate in the same VPLS instance, otherwise they will not accept or advertise routes for that VPLS.
NEW QUESTION # 26
After a recent power outage, your manager asks you to investigate ways to automatically reduce the impact caused by suboptimal routing in your OSPF and OSPFv3 network after devices reboot.
Which three configuration statements accomplish this task? (Choose three.)
- A. set protocols ospf3 realm ipv4-unicast overload timeout 900
- B. set protocols oapf3 overload timeout 900
- C. set protocols ospf overload
- D. set protocols ospf3 overload
- E. set protocols ospf overload timeout 900
Answer: D,E
Explanation:
Explanation
To reduce the impact of suboptimal routing in OSPF and OSPFv3 after devices reboot, you can use the overload feature to prevent a router from being used as a transit router for a specified period of time. This allows the router to stabilize its routing table before forwarding traffic for other routers. To enable the overload feature, you need to do the following:
* For OSPF, configure the overload statement under [edit protocols ospf] hierarchy level. You can also specify a timeout value in seconds to indicate how long the router should remain in overload state after it boots up. For example, set protocols ospf overload timeout 900 means that the router will be in overload state for 15 minutes after it boots up.
* For OSPFv3, configure the overload statement under [edit protocols ospf3] hierarchy level. You can also specify a realm (ipv4-unicast or ipv6-unicast) and a timeout value in seconds to indicate how long the router should remain in overload state after it boots up for each realm. For example, set protocols ospf3 realm ipv4-unicast overload timeout 900 means that the router will be in overload state for 15 minutes after it boots up for IPv4 unicast routing.
NEW QUESTION # 27
By default, which statement is correct about OSPF summary LSAs?
- A. All Type 2 and Type 7 LSAs will be summanzed into a single Type 5 LSA
- B. The metric associated with a summary route will be equal to the lowest metric associated with an individual contributing route
- C. Type 3 LSAs are advertised for routes in Type 1 LSAs.
- D. The area-range command must be installed on all routers.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
OSPF uses different types of LSAs to describe different aspects of the network topology. Type 1 LSAs are also known as router LSAs, and they describe the links and interfaces of a router within an area. Type 3 LSAs are also known as summary LSAs, and they describe routes to networks outside an area but within the same autonomous system (AS). By default, OSPF will summarize routes from Type 1 LSAs into Type 3 LSAs when advertising them across area boundaries .
NEW QUESTION # 28
Exhibit
Referring to the exhibit, which three statements are correct about route 10 0 0.0/16 when using the default BGP advertisement rules'? (Choose three.)
- A. R2 will advertise 10.0.0.0/16 to R4 with 172.16.1.1 as the next hop
- B. R4 will advertise 10 0.0 0/16 to R6 with 172.16 1 1 as the next hop
- C. R2 will advertise 10.0.0.0/16 to R3 with 192.168.1 1 as the next hop
- D. R1 will prepend AS 65531 when advertising 10 0.0 0/16 to R2.
- E. R1 will advertise 10.0.0.0/16 to R2 with 192 168 1 1 as the next hop.
Answer: A,B,E
Explanation:
Explanation
The problem in this scenario is that R1 and R8 are not receiving each other's routes because of private AS numbers in the AS path. Private AS numbers are not globally unique and are not advertised to external BGP peers. To solve this problem, you need to do the following:
* Configure loops on routers in AS 65412 and advertise-peer-as on routers in AS 64498. This allows R5 and R6 to advertise their own AS number (65412) instead of their peer's AS number (64498) when sending updates to R7 and R8. This prevents a loop detection issue that would cause R7 and R8 to reject the routes from R5 and R62
* Configure remove-private on advertisements from AS 64497 toward AS 64498 and from AS 64500 toward AS 64499. This removes any private AS numbers from the AS path before sending updates to external BGP peers. This allows R2 and R3 to receive the routes from R1 and R4, respectively3.
NEW QUESTION # 29
Exhibit
Referring to the exhibit, a working L3VPN exists that connects VPN-A sites CoS is configured correctly to match on the MPLS EXP bits of the LSP, but when traffic is sent from Site-1 to Site-2, PE-2 is not classifying the traffic correctly What should you do to solve the problem?
- A. Configure the explicit-null statement on PE-1.
- B. Configure VPN prefix mapping for the PE-1_to_PE-2 LSP
- C. Configure the explicit-null statement on PE-2
- D. Set a static CoS value for the PE-1_to_PE-2 LSP
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
The explicit-null statement enables the PE router to send an MPLS label with a value of 0 (explicit null) instead of an IP header for packets destined to the VPN customer sites. This allows the penultimate hop router (the router before the egress PE router) to preserve the EXP bits of the MPLS label and pass them to the egress PE router. The egress PE router can then use these EXP bits to classify the traffic according to the CoS policy2
. In this example, PE-1 should configure the explicit-null statement under [edit protocols mpls label-switched-path PE-1_to_PE-2] hierarchy level.
NEW QUESTION # 30
When using OSPFv3 for an IPv4 environment, which statement is correct?
- A. OSPFv3 only supports IPv4.
- B. OSPFv3 supports both IPv6 and IPv4, but not in the same routing instance.
- C. OSPFv3 supports IPv4 only on interfaces with family inet6 defined
- D. OSPFv3 is not backward compatible with IPv4
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
OSPFv3 is an extension of OSPFv2 that supports IPv6 routing and addressing. OSPFv3 is not backward compatible with IPv4 because it uses a different packet format and a different link-state advertisement (LSA) structure than OSPFv2. OSPFv3 also uses IPv6 link-local addresses as router IDs and neighbor addresses, instead of IPv4 addresses. To use OSPFv3 for an IPv4 environment, you need to enable the IPv4 unicast address family under [edit protocols ospf3] hierarchy level and configure IPv4 addresses on the interfaces.
NEW QUESTION # 31
You are configuring a BGP signaled Layer 2 VPN across your MPLS enabled core network. Your PE-2 device connects to two sites within the s VPN In this scenario, which statement is correct?
- A. You must create a unique Layer 2 VPN routing instance for each site on the PE-2 device.
- B. By default on PE-2, the remote site IDs are automatically assigned based on the order that you add the interfaces to the site configuration.
- C. You must use separate physical interfaces to connect PE-2 to each site.
- D. By default on PE-2, the site's local ID is automatically assigned a value of 0 and must be configured to match the total number of attached sites.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
BGP Layer 2 VPNs use BGP to distribute endpoint provisioning information and set up pseudowires between PE devices. BGP uses the Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN) Routing Information Base (RIB) to store endpoint provisioning information, which is updated each time any Layer 2 virtual forwarding instance (VFI) is configured. The prefix and path information is stored in the L2VPN database, which allows BGP to make decisions about the best path.
In BGP Layer 2 VPNs, each site has a unique site ID that identifies it within a VFI. The site ID can be manually configured or automatically assigned by the PE device. By default, the site ID is automatically assigned based on the order that you add the interfaces to the site configuration. The first interface added to a site configuration has a site ID of 1, the second interface added has a site ID of 2, and so on.
Option D is correct because by default on PE-2, the remote site IDs are automatically assigned based on the order that you add the interfaces to the site configuration. Option A is not correct because by default on PE-2, the site's local ID is automatically assigned a value of 0 and does not need to be configured to match the total number of attached sites. Option B is not correct because you do not need to create a unique Layer 2 VPN routing instance for each site on the PE-2 device. You can create one routing instance for all sites within a VFI. Option C is not correct because you do not need to use separate physical interfaces to connect PE-2 to each site. You can use subinterfaces or service instances on a single physical interface.
NEW QUESTION # 32
Exhibit
The environment is using BGP All devices are in the same AS with reachability redundancy Referring to the exhibit, which statement is correct?
- A. RR2 is in an OpenConfirm State until RR1 becomes unreachable.
- B. RR1 is peered to Client2 and RR2
- C. Client1 is peered to Client2 and Client3.
- D. Peering is dynamically discovered between all devices.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
BGP route reflectors are BGP routers that are allowed to ignore the IBGP loop avoidance rule and advertise IBGP learned routes to other IBGP peers under specific conditions. BGP route reflectors can reduce the number of IBGP sessions and updates in a network by eliminating the need for a full mesh of IBGP peers.
BGP route reflectors can have three types of peerings:
* EBGP neighbor: A BGP router that belongs to a different autonomous system (AS) than the route reflector.
* IBGP client neighbor: An IBGP router that receives reflected routes from the route reflector. A client does not need to peer with other clients or non-clients.
* IBGP non-client neighbor: An IBGP router that does not receive reflected routes from the route reflector. A non-client needs to peer with other non-clients and the route reflector.
In the exhibit, we can see that RR1 and RR2 are route reflectors in the same AS with reachability redundancy.
They have two types of peerings: EBGP neighbors (R1 and R4) and IBGP client neighbors (Client1, Client2, and Client3). RR1 and RR2 are also peered with each other as IBGP non-client neighbors.
NEW QUESTION # 33
Exhibit
Referring to the exhibit, which statement is correct?
- A. The vrf-target configuration will allow routes to be shared between CE-1 and CE-2.
- B. The route-diatinguisher configuration will stop routes from being shared between CE-1 and CE-2.
- C. The vrf-target configuration will stop routes from being shared between CE-1 and CE-2.
- D. The route-distinguisher configuration will allow overlapping routes to be shared between CE-1 and CE-2.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The route distinguisher (RD) is a BGP attribute that is used to create unique VPN IPv4 prefixes for each VPN in an MPLS network. The RD is a 64-bit value that consists of two parts: an administrator field and an assigned number field. The administrator field can be an AS number or an IP address, and the assigned number field can be any arbitrary value chosen by the administrator. The RD is prepended to the IPv4 prefix to create a VPN IPv4 prefix that can be advertised across the MPLS network without causing any overlap or conflict with other VPNs. In this question, we have two PE routers (PE-1 and PE-2) that are connected to two CE devices (CE-1 and CE-2) respectively. PE-1 and PE-2 are configured with VRFs named Customer-A and Customer-B respectively.
NEW QUESTION # 34
Exhibit
You are attempting to summarize routes from the 203.0.113.128/25 IP block on R8 to AS 64500. You implement the export policy shown in the exhibit and all routes from the routing table stop being advertised.
In this scenario, which two steps would you take to summarize the route in BGP? (Choose two.)
- A. Add the set routing-options static route 203.0.113.123/25 discard command.
- B. Remove the from protocol bgp command from the export policy.
- C. Replace exact in the export policy with orlonger.
- D. Add the set protocols bgp family inet unicast add-path command to allow additional routes to the RIB tables. -
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
Explanation
To summarize routes from the 203.0.113.128/25 IP block on R8 to AS 64500, you need to do the following:
* Add the set routing-options static route 203.0.113.128/25 discard command. This creates a static route for the summary prefix and discards any traffic destined to it. This is necessary because BGP can only advertise routes that are present in the routing table.
* Replace exact in the export policy with orlonger. This allows R8 to match and advertise any route that is equal or more specific than the summary prefix. The exact term only matches routes that are exactly equal to the summary prefix, which is not present in the routing table.
NEW QUESTION # 35
Exhibit
You want to use both links between R1 and R2 Because of the bandwidth difference between the two links, you must ensure that the links are used as much as possible.
Which action will accomplish this goal?
- A. Disable multipath.
- B. Ensure that the metric-out parameter on the Gigabit Ethernet interface is higher than the 10 Gigibit Ethernet interface.
- C. Define a policy to tag routes with the appropriate bandwidth community.
- D. Enable per-prefix load balancing.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
VPLS is a Layer 2 VPN technology that allows multiple sites to connect over a shared IP/MPLS network as if they were on the same LAN. VPLS tunnels can be signaled using either Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) or Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). In this question, we have two links between R1 and R2 with different bandwidths (10 Gbps and 1 Gbps). We want to use both links as much as possible for VPLS traffic. To achieve this, we need to enable per-prefix load balancing on both routers. Per-prefix load balancing is a feature that allows a router to distribute traffic across multiple equal-cost or unequal-cost paths based on the destination prefix of each packet. This improves the utilization of multiple links and provides better load sharing than per-flow load balancing, which distributes traffic based on a hash of source and destination addresses4. Per-prefix load balancing can be enabled globally or per interface using the load-balance per-packet command.
NEW QUESTION # 36
An interface is configured with a behavior aggregate classifier and a multifield classifier How will the packet be processed when received on this interface?
- A. The packet will be discarded.
- B. The packet will be forwarded with no classification changes.
- C. The packet will be processed by the BA classifier first, then the MF classifier.
- D. The packet will be processed by the MF classifier first, then the BA classifier.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
behavior aggregate (BA) classifiers and multifield (MF) classifiers are two types of classifiers that are used to assign packets to a forwarding class and a loss priority based on different criteria. The forwarding class determines the output queue for a packet. The loss priority is used by a scheduler to control packet discard during periods of congestion.
A BA classifier maps packets to a forwarding class and a loss priority based on a fixed-length field in the packet header, such as DSCP, IP precedence, MPLS EXP, or IEEE 802.1p CoS bits. A BA classifier is computationally efficient and suitable for core devices that handle high traffic volumes. A BA classifier is useful if the traffic comes from a trusted source and the CoS value in the packet header is trusted.
An MF classifier maps packets to a forwarding class and a loss priority based on multiple fields in the packet header, such as source address, destination address, protocol type, port number, or VLAN ID. An MF classifier is more flexible and granular than a BA classifier and can match packets based on complex filter rules. An MF classifier is suitable for edge devices that need to classify traffic from untrusted sources or rewrite packet headers.
You can configure both a BA classifier and an MF classifier on an interface. If you do this, the BA classification is performed first and then the MF classification. If the two classification results conflict, the MF classification result overrides the BA classification result.
Based on this information, we can infer the following statements:
* The packet will be discarded. This is not correct because the packet will not be discarded by the classifiers unless it matches a filter rule that specifies discard as an action. The classifiers only assign packets to a forwarding class and a loss priority based on their match criteria.
* The packet will be processed by the BA classifier first, then the MF classifier. This is correct because if both a BA classifier and an MF classifier are configured on an interface, the BA classification is performed first and then the MF classification. If they conflict, the MF classification result overrides the BA classification result.
* The packet will be forwarded with no classification changes. This is not correct because the packet will be classified by both the BA classifier and the MF classifier if they are configured on an interface. The final classification result will determine which output queue and which discard policy will be applied to the packet.
* The packet will be processed by the MF classifier first, then the BA classifier. This is not correct because if both a BA classifier and an MF classifier are configured on an interface, the BA classification is performed first and then the MF classification. If they conflict, the MF classification result overrides the BA classification result.
NEW QUESTION # 37
Exhibit
Referring to the exhibit, you are receiving the 192.168 0 0/16 route on both R3 and R4 from your EBGP neighbor You must ensure that R1 and R2 receive both BGP routes from the route reflector In this scenario, which BGP feature should you configure to accomplish this behavior?
- A. add-path
- B. multipath
- C. multihop
- D. route-target
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
BGP add-path is a feature that allows the advertisement of multiple paths through the same peering session for the same prefix without the new paths implicitly replacing any previous paths. This behavior promotes path diversity and reduces multi-exit discriminator (MED) oscillations. BGP add-path is implemented by adding a path identifier to each path in the NLRI. The path identifier can be considered as something similar to a route distinguisher in VPNs, except that a path ID can apply to any address family. Path IDs are unique to a peering session and are generated for each network3. In this question, we have a route reflector (RR) that receives two routes for the same prefix (192.168.0.0/16) from an EBGP neighbor. By default, the RR will only advertise its best path to its clients (R1 and R2). However, we want R1 and R2 to receive both routes from the RR. To achieve this, we need to configure BGP add-path on the RR and enable it to send multiple paths for the same prefix to its clients.
NEW QUESTION # 38
What is the correct order of packet flow through configurable components in the Junos OS CoS features?
- A. Behavior Aggregate Classifier -> Input Policer -> Multifield Classifier -> Forwarding Policy Options -> Fabric Scheduler -> Output Policer -> Scheduler/Shaper/RED -> Rewrite Marker
- B. Multifield Classifier -> Behavior Aggregate Classifier -> Input Policer -> Forwarding Policy Options -> Fabric Scheduler -> Output Policer -> Rewrite Marker -> Scheduler/Shaper/RED
- C. Behavior Aggregate Classifier -> Multifield Classifier -> Input Policer -> Forwarding Policy Options -> Fabric Scheduler -> Scheduler/Shaper/RED -> Output Policer -> Rewrite Marker
- D. Behavior Aggregate Classifier -> Multifield Classifier -> Input Policer -> Forwarding Policy Options -> Fabric Scheduler -> Output Policer -> Scheduler/Shaper/RED -> Rewrite Marker
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
The correct order of packet flow through configurable components in the Junos OS CoS features is as follows:
* Behavior Aggregate Classifier: This component uses a single field in a packet header to classify traffic into different forwarding classes and loss priorities based on predefined or user-defined values.
* Input Policer: This component applies rate-limiting and marking actions to incoming traffic based on the forwarding class and loss priority assigned by the classifier.
* Multifield Classifier: This component uses multiple fields in a packet header to classify traffic into different forwarding classes and loss priorities based on user-defined values and filters.
* Forwarding Policy Options: This component applies actions such as load balancing, filtering, or routing to traffic based on the forwarding class and loss priority assigned by the classifier.
* Fabric Scheduler: This component schedules traffic across the switch fabric based on the forwarding class and loss priority assigned by the classifier.
* Output Policer: This component applies rate-limiting and marking actions to outgoing traffic based on the forwarding class and loss priority assigned by the classifier.
* Scheduler/Shaper/RED: This component schedules, shapes, and drops traffic at the egress interface based on the forwarding class and loss priority assigned by the classifier.
* Rewrite Marker: This component rewrites the code-point bits of packets leaving an interface based on the forwarding class and loss priority assigned by the classifier.
NEW QUESTION # 39
In IS-IS, which two statements are correct about the designated intermediate system (DIS) on a multi-access network segment? (Choose two)
- A. On the multi-access network, each router only forms an adjacency to the DIS.
- B. A router with a priority of 1 wins the DIS election over a router with a priority of 10.
- C. A router with a priority of 10 wins the DIS election over a router with a priority of 1.
- D. On the multi-access network, each router forms an adjacency to every other router on the segment
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
Explanation
In IS-IS, a designated intermediate system (DIS) is a router that is elected on a multi-access network segment (such as Ethernet) to perform some functions on behalf of other routers on the same segment. A DIS is responsible for sending network link-state advertisements (LSPs), which describe all the routers attached to the network. These LSPs are flooded throughout a single area. A DIS also generates pseudonode LSPs, which represent the multi-access network as a single node in the link-state database. A DIS election is based on the priority value configured on each router's interface connected to the multi-access network. The priority value ranges from 0 to 127, with higher values indicating higher priority. The router with the highest priority becomes the DIS for the area (Level 1, Level 2, or both). If routers have the same priority, then the router with the highest MAC address is elected as the DIS. By default, routers have a priority value of 64. On a multi-access network, each router only forms an adjacency to the DIS, not to every other router on the segment. This reduces the amount of hello packets and LSP
NEW QUESTION # 40
Which two statements are correct about a sham link? (Choose two.)
- A. The PEs exchange Type 1 OSPF LSAs instead of Type 3 OSPF LSAs for the L3VPN routes
- B. The PEs exchange Type 3 OSPF LSAs instead of Type 1 OSPF LSAs for the L3VPN routes.
- C. It creates a BGP multihop neighborship between two PE routers.
- D. It creates an OSPF multihop neighborship between two PE routers.
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
Explanation
A sham link is a logical link between two PE routers that belong to the same OSPF area but are connected through an L3VPN. A sham link makes the PE routers appear as if they are directly connected, and prevents OSPF from preferring an intra-area back door link over the VPN backbone. A sham link creates an OSPF multihop neighborship between the PE routers using TCP port 646. The PEs exchange Type 1 OSPF LSAs instead of Type 3 OSPF LSAs for the L3VPN routes, which allows OSPF to use the correct metric for route selection1.
NEW QUESTION # 41
Which two statements are correct about reflecting inet-vpn unicast prefixes in BGP route reflection? (Choose two.)
- A. Route reflectors add their cluster ID to the AS path when readvertising client routes.
- B. A BGP peer does not require any configuration changes to become a route reflector client.
- C. Clients add their originator ID when advertising routes to their route reflector
- D. Route reflectors do not change any existing BGP attributes by default when advertising routes.
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
Explanation
Route reflection is a BGP feature that allows a router to reflect routes learned from one IBGP peer to another IBGP peer, without requiring a full-mesh IBGP topology. Route reflectors do not change any existing BGP attributes by default when advertising routes, unless explicitly configured to do so. A BGP peer does not require any configuration changes to become a route reflector client, only the route reflector needs to be configured with the client parameter under [edit protocols bgp group group-name neighbor neighbor-address] hierarchy level.
NEW QUESTION # 42
In which two ways does OSPF prevent routing loops in multi-area networks? (Choose two.)
- A. All areas are required to connect to area 0.
- B. The LFA algorithm prunes all looped paths within an area.
- C. All areas are required to connect as a full mesh.
- D. The SPF algorithm prunes looped paths within an area.
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
Explanation
OSPF is an interior gateway protocol that uses link-state routing to exchange routing information among routers within a single autonomous system. OSPF prevents routing loops in multi-area networks by using two methods: area hierarchy and SPF algorithm. Area hierarchy is the concept of dividing a large OSPF network into smaller areas that are connected to a backbone area (area 0). This reduces the amount of routing information that each router has to store and process, and also limits the scope of link-state updates within each area. All areas are required to connect to area 0 either directly or through virtual links2. SPF algorithm is the method that OSPF uses to calculate the shortest path to each destination in the network based on link-state information. The SPF algorithm runs on each router and builds a shortest-path tree that represents the topology of the network from the router's perspective. The SPF algorithm prunes looped paths within an area by choosing only one best path for each destination3.
