Huawei H12-821 Practice Test 5
Question 40
An enterprise networking reviewer examines this Huawei Datacom situation. A branch in area 20 can see its local type 1 topology but no type 3 summary for a corporate data-center prefix in area 0. A colleague proposes this action: Identify OSPF LSA types and their flooding scope before diagnosing missing intra-area or inter-area destinations. Which protocol principle BEST supports that proposal? Select ONE best answer.
- OSPF neighbors on a common link must agree on critical adjacency parameters, including compatible area and authentication; repeated resets will not repair a persistent mismatch.
- NAT rules change observed packet addresses under defined conditions, and a permitted security rule alone does not create a suitable translation mapping or solve upstream return routing.
- On a broadcast network OSPF uses a DR and BDR to limit adjacency overhead; priority zero excludes a candidate, and higher eligible priority and router ID influence a new election rather than forcing instant replacement of a functioning DR.
- Type 1 router and type 2 network LSAs describe area-local topology, whereas ABRs create type 3 summary LSAs for destinations in other areas; a lack of appropriate LSAs affects SPF reachability.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:The relevant protocol behavior is: Type 1 router and type 2 network LSAs describe area-local topology, whereas ABRs create type 3 summary LSAs for destinations in other areas; a lack of appropriate LSAs affects SPF reachability.

- Type 1 router and type 2 network LSAs describe area-local topology, whereas ABRs create type 3 summary LSAs for destinations in other areas; a lack of appropriate LSAs affects SPF reachability.
