Question

an engineer must configure an ospf neighbor relationship between router r1 and r3. the authentication configuration has been configured and the connecting interfaces are in the same 192.168.1.0/30 subnet. what are the next two steps to complete the configuration?

Answer 1

To complete OSPF configuration for a neighbor relationship between R1 and R3, the engineer should ensure OSPF is enabled on both routers in the same area, and verify matching OSPF parameters like hello and dead intervals.

Step-by-step explanation:

If an engineer must configure an OSPF neighbor relationship between Router R1 and R3, and the authentication configuration has already been completed with the interfaces on the same 192.168.1.0/30 subnet, the next two steps would potentially involve:

1. Ensuring both routers have OSPF enabled and are configured to be in the same OSPF area.
2. Verifying that OSPF parameters match, including the hello and dead intervals, as well as the area type and any additional specific parameters required for OSPF to establish a neighbor relationship.

Once these configurations are verified and set correctly, the OSPF process should naturally form an adjacency given that the underlying network connectivity and authentication settings are appropriate.
