Boson Test Question [7:16895]

2001-08-22 Thread Wright, Jeremy

In OSPF, the DR is chosen by
A.  MAC
B.  Hello Protocol
C.  Priority
D.  IP

I chose C but Boson says B. Obviously I have read a 1000 times that the DR
is elected by highest priority, so is Boson wrong here or am I
mis-interpreting the way the question is worded (typical Cisco)..

You are right.  I found other wrong answers in Boson test too.

If the question were worded, In OSPF, the DR is chosen with, I might agree
with the Boson answer, but it seems incorrect with the question stated as
such.

It is fairly ambiguous, but I wouldn't worry about it. You obviously
understand the concept and that is what is really important. I wouldn't
think the exam would be so ambiguous or tricky.

E-mail the author of the test with your concerns or call Boson directly.
Their phone number is on their web page.

Hello protocol is the process by which a DR is elected. Priority influences
the election process.

Re: Boson Test Question [7:16895]

2001-08-22 Thread John Neiberger

If answer C is correct, then what happens when all priorities are equal?
 Could it still be said that the DR is selected on the basis of Priority
alone?

What about answer B?  Regardless of the interface priority, isn't the
DR selected using a hello protocol?

It's a poorly worded question, but I would have to say B.

If a router interface with priority 0 initializes and there is no 
answer to its hellos, it becomes BDR, and, if there is still no 
response, it promotes itself to DR.

If there is a DR and a second router interface with priority 0 
initializes, the second router becomes BDR.

If there a third router inerface initializes, regardless of priority, 
it will go into DR-OTHER.

If the DR fails, the BDR will promote itself and priority may enter 
into the new BDR election.

If several router interfaces initialize simultaneously and there is 
no DR or BDR, priority, and then router ID, will break the tie.

So yes, priority enters into the selection insofar as an interface 
with priority = 0 cannot become BDR or DR, but the most common 
selection factor is order of initialization, governed by the hello 
protocol.  Priority essentially is a subset of the hello protocol.

2001-08-22 Thread Baety Wayne A1C 18 CS/SCBX

Very Slimy question, but...

A (MAC) is never used to choose the DR.

If two routers are configured with the same priority
Then C (Priority) is not used to choose the DR, if they 
do not have the same priority then D (IP address) is
not use to choose the DR.  In either case C, and D are
not true in every situation.  Only answer B is true
in every situation.  It is true even we are only
considering point-to-point links, because the question
specifically asks for the cases in which a DR IS chosen.

RE: Boson Test Question [7:16895]

2001-08-22 Thread Baker, Jason

B is correct.

Proirity and IP both influence who will become the DR.

Take this scenario. 

If you have 10 routers on a LAN with their defaults (meaning they all have a
priority of 1 for DR election)
how will the DR be chosen purely on Priority ? How will they know the
priority of the other router interfaces on that network ?

During DR elecetion priority is first looked at.

If there ia a tie on priority then the Router ID, which is usally the high
interface ip or loopback IP (depending whether loopback are configured -
highly recommended)

Each router is able to see each others priority value via hello packet
exchanges which where the election takes place.

hope that helps.

Jason

Routers use the hello protocol to communicate during the DR election
process, the router with the highest priority wins the election.

Isnt the correct answer really the first router to boot with a priority
above zero??
