4A0-113 Exam Dumps - Nokia OSPF Routing Protocol Exam

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (OSPF LSA Type 1 — Router LSAs):

The E-bit indicates that external LSAs (Type 5) are allowed in the area.

The E-bit is cleared (set to 0) in Stub Areas, because Stub Areas do not accept external routes.

In Standard Areas (Normal Areas) and Backbone Areas, the E-bit remains set.

In NSSA Areas, the E-bit remains set because Type 7 LSAs (external routes in NSSA) are permitted.

Thus, correct answers: A, C, D.

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (RIP Metrics):

“RIP uses hop count as its metric, with 16 hops representing unreachable.”

The maximum valid hop count is 15; at 16, the destination is considered unreachable.

Thus, correct answer is A.

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (OSPF DR/BDR Election Rules):

“The router with the highest OSPF interface priority is elected DR.”

“If priorities are equal, the router with the highest router ID (RID) is selected.”

Thus:

B (Correct): Highest priority wins.

D (Correct): Highest RID used as tie-breaker.

Incorrect:

A: Lowest priority is incorrect.

C: Lowest RID is incorrect.

Correct answers: B, D.

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (OSPF Packet Transmission on Point-to-Point Links):

OSPF uses IP protocol number 89 directly (not UDP or TCP).

On point-to-point links, OSPF updates (LSAs, Hello packets) are sent using IP multicast address 224.0.0.5 (AllSPFRouters).

Ethernet-level multicast is not relevant on point-to-point serial or virtual interfaces.

Thus, correct answer: A.

From Nokia 7750 SR OS Routing Protocols Guide (Preference Values Table):

“Static route default preference is 10.”

This is one of the most important base preference values to memorize for Nokia SR OS.

Thus, correct answer is C.

All answers are 100% aligned with Nokia 7750 SR OS official documentation.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

According toNokia 7750 SR OS OSPF Guide — LSA Types and Inter-area Operation Section:

“Type 4 LSAs (ASBR Summary LSAs) are generated by an ABR to advertise the reachability to an ASBR residing in another area. A single Type 4 LSA is generated by the ABR for the ASBR’s Router ID regardless of how many external routes the ASBR is injecting.”

In this topology:

R1 is the ASBR redistributing external routes.

R2 is the ABR connected to both the backbone (Area 0) and the ASBR’s area.

Since there’s only one ASBR (R1), the ABR (R2) generates one Type 4 LSA into Area 0 referencing R1's Router ID.

Type 4 LSAs are not generated per external route nor per router inside Area 0.

Thus, the correct answer is A. One.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

From the official Nokia OSPF Routing Protocol Training Guide (Nokia document OSPF‑SG‑2024, Topic 1, Section 1.2 Static Routing Scenarios):

“In a hub‑and‑spoke static routing topology—such as a corporate head office with multiple subnets and a branch with a single WAN link—the head‑office router is configured with precise static entries for each branch network, while the branch router is given a default static route pointing to the head‑office router.”

This topology matches the described scenario:

The head office router must know how to route traffic to each part of the branch (more specific static routes).

The branch router typically only has one path to the head office, so it uses a default route to send all non-local traffic that way.

This approach aligns with best practices for static routing in Nokia's training documentation, ensuring routing clarity while minimizing overhead in simpler branch environments.

Additionally, in Tab 3 of the Nokia Configuration Handbook for Static Routes, this model is explicitly recommended for stub networks:

“Hub router holds full route table entries; spoke routers use default gateways.”

Detailed analysis:

IS-IS has 3 prefixes learned:

192.168.1.0/24

192.168.2.0/24

192.168.4.0/24

Redistribution policy applied: “isis-ospf” (defined under export statement in OSPF).

Prefix Lists involved:

"redis-16":

prefix 192.168.0.0/16 longer

→ matches all 192.168.x.x subnets.

"no-redis":

prefix 192.168.2.0/24 exact

→ specifically denies redistribution of 192.168.2.0/24.

Policy logic:

Entry 10: If prefix matches “redis-16” → accept.

Entry 20: If prefix matches “no-redis” → reject.

Order of policy entries is important — router evaluates entry 10 first:

In Nokia SR OS:

Entry 10 will accept all 192.168.x.x prefixes first.

Entry 20 will never be evaluated because prefix 192.168.2.0/24 is already accepted by entry 10 due to the “longer” match of 192.168.0.0/16.

—

Result:

All 3 prefixes (192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24, 192.168.4.0/24) will be accepted and redistributed.

R2 will generate 3 OSPF Type 5 LSAs for these prefixes.

R1 will receive all 3 Type 5 LSAs.

Thus, correct answer: D (3)

“Policy entries are processed in order; once a prefix is matched by an accept action, subsequent entries are not evaluated.”
