Juniper Updated JN0-351 Exam Questions and Answers by hawa

Link-state update packets are used to flood link-state advertisements (LSAs) among OSPF routers. The destination IP address of these packets depends on the network type and the state of the interface. On broadcast and point-to-point networks, OSPF uses two IP multicast addresses: 224.0.0.5 for all OSPF routers and 224.0.0.6 for all designated routers (DRs) and backup designated routers (BDRs)12. If the interface state is DR or BDR, the link-state update packets are sent to 224.0.0.5. Otherwise, they are sent to 224.0.0.63. On non-broadcast networks, such as Frame Relay or ATM, link-state update packets are sent as unicasts to each adjacent neighbor3. Therefore, the correct answer is A and D. References: Understanding OSPF Areas | Junos OS, How OSPF Works - IP Routing [Book] - O’Reilly Media, Link state packet - Wikipedia

The routers that are directly connected to the Dallas and Denver subnets are not advertising the connected subnets.  This can be resolved by redistributing the connected subnets into OSPF 1 .

Option C suggests to configure and apply a routing policy that redistributes the connected Dallas and Denver subnets.  This is correct because redistribution allows routes from one routing protocol to be communicated to another, and in this case, it allows the connected subnets to be advertised through OSPF 1 .

Option D suggests enabling the passive option on the OSPF interfaces that are connected to the Dallas and Denver subnets.  This is also correct because in OSPF, a passive interface is an interface that belongs to the OSPF router, but does not send OSPF Hello packets 1 .  It’s typically used on an interface that you don’t want to use for OSPF adjacencies, but you still want to advertise its IP address 1 . Therefore, enabling passive interface can help in advertising the Dallas and Denver subnets.
