H12-831_V1.0 Exam Dumps : HCIP-Datacom-Advanced Routing & Switching Technology V1.0

Step 1: Understanding OSPF Areas and Summarization

Area 1 (NSSA - Not So Stubby Area)

Allows external routes but converts Type-5 LSAs into Type-7 LSAs.

External routes must be translated by an ABR into Type-5 LSAs before being propagated into other areas.

Area 2 (Common Area - Regular OSPF Area)

Supports both inter-area and external routes.

asbr-summary 10.0.4.0 255.255.255.0 Command

This command summarizes all external routes within 10.0.4.0/24 into a single summarized route.

Since it is applied on R1 and R3, these routers will advertise 10.0.4.0/24 instead of 10.0.4.4/32 to their respective areas.

Step 2: Route Distribution Analysis

R4 (Originating Router in NSSA - Area 1)

R4 injects 10.0.4.4/32 as a Type-7 LSA into Area 1.

R1 (ABR between Area 1 & Area 0, Summarizing Route)

Since R1 is an ABR, it translates Type-7 LSAs from Area 1 into a summarized Type-5 LSA (10.0.4.0/24) for Area 0.

✅ R1 has 10.0.4.0/24 in its routing table.

R2 (Inside Backbone Area 0, No ASBR Summary Applied Here)

R2 only receives Type-5 LSAs from R1 but does not summarize them.

Since R2 is not explicitly summarizing, it will likely still see 10.0.4.4/32 rather than 10.0.4.0/24.

❌ R2 does not have 10.0.4.0/24.

R3 (ABR between Area 0 & Area 2, Summarizing Route)

R3 is also an ABR and has the asbr-summary 10.0.4.0/24 command configured.

It will advertise the summarized route 10.0.4.0/24 into Area 2.

✅ R3 has 10.0.4.0/24 in its routing table.

R5 (Inside Area 2, No Direct Connectivity to External Routes)

Since R3 summarizes 10.0.4.0/24, R5 (inside Area 2) will receive only summarized routes.

✅ R5 has 10.0.4.0/24.

Final Answer: ✅ R1, R3 (Option A, C)

OSPF NSSA and Type-7 to Type-5 LSA Translation

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

To determine the correct matches, we need to analyze VLAN aggregation and MUX VLAN behavior in the given topology.

1. Understanding VLAN Aggregation and MUX VLAN Roles

VLAN Aggregation:

Sub-VLANs (e.g., VLAN 10) are part of a Super-VLAN (e.g., VLAN 100) and share a common gateway.

Hosts in the same Sub-VLAN can communicate directly.

MUX VLAN (Multiple User Group VLAN):

Principal VLAN (VLAN 30): Includes servers, accessible by all VLAN types.

Separate VLAN (VLAN 20): Cannot communicate with other Separate VLAN hosts, but can communicate with the Principal VLAN (Server).

Group VLAN (VLAN 10 - Sub-VLANs): Hosts within the same Group VLAN can communicate, and they can also access the Principal VLAN (Server).

2. Analyzing the Connectivity

PC1 (Sub-VLAN 10 - Employee VLAN)

Can communicate with PC2 (same Sub-VLAN).

Can communicate with the Server (VLAN 30 - Principal VLAN).

PC2 (Sub-VLAN 10 - Employee VLAN)

Can communicate with PC1 (same Sub-VLAN).

Can communicate with the Server (VLAN 30 - Principal VLAN).

PC3 (VLAN 20 - Separate VLAN - Guest VLAN)

Cannot communicate with other PCs in Employee VLAN (PC1, PC2) or Guest VLAN (PC4).

Can communicate with the Server (VLAN 30 - Principal VLAN).

PC4 (VLAN 20 - Separate VLAN - Guest VLAN)

Cannot communicate with other PCs in Employee VLAN (PC1, PC2) or Guest VLAN (PC3).

Can communicate with the Server (VLAN 30 - Principal VLAN).

Server (VLAN 30 - Principal VLAN)

Can communicate with all PCs (PC1, PC2, PC3, PC4) because it belongs to the Principal VLAN, which serves all VLANs.
