Sample flashcard

On a Nexus switch, show ip ospf neighbors does not list a directly connected OSPF peer at all. What do you check?

A mismatch or a missing interface command: ip router ospf on the interface, then area, subnet, hello/dead timers, authentication and passive-interface on both ends. show ip ospf interface shows the area, network type, timers and authentication of each interface in one place.

Sample practice question

DC2-LEAF7's uplink to DC2-SPINE2 was moved to a new optic and a new spine port. Since then the OSPF adjacency on that link keeps cycling between EXSTART and EXCHANGE. The engineer checks both ends: ``` DC2-LEAF7# show interface ethernet1/52 | include MTU MTU 9216 bytes, BW 100000000 Kbit , DLY 10 usec DC2-SPINE2# show interface ethernet1/12 | include MTU MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000000 Kbit , DLY 10 usec ``` Which change gives a stable fix and keeps full-size VXLAN traffic working over this link?

• A. Configure ip ospf network point-to-point on both interfaces
• B. Lower the leaf's Ethernet1/52 to mtu 1500 so both ends agree
• C. Add ip ospf mtu-ignore on both ends so that each side accepts the other's DBD packets
• D. Set mtu 9216 on the spine's Ethernet1/12 so both ends agree

Answer: D. Flapping between EXSTART and EXCHANGE with 9216 bytes on one end and 1500 on the other is an MTU mismatch, and raising the spine port to 9216 fixes both the database exchange and the data path. mtu-ignore only skips the comparison: the adjacency may come up, but large OSPF updates and encapsulated frames over 1500 bytes are still dropped by the spine port. Lowering the leaf to 1500 would also form the adjacency, yet it leaves no room for the 50 bytes VXLAN adds to a full-size frame. The network type plays no part in the MTU check.
