Core Knowledge Question of the Day: 02 April 2009

Which OSPF area will int fa0/0 be assigned:

interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address 10.1.12.1 255.255.255.0
ip ospf 100 area 12

Rack1R1(configr)#router ospf 100
Rack1R1(config-router)#network 10.1.12.1 0.0.0.0 area 21
Rack1R1(config-router)#network 10.1.12.1 255.255.255.255 area 2
Rack1R1(config-router)#network 10.1.12.0 0.0.0.255 area 3
Rack1R1(config-router)#network 10.1.12.0 255.255.255.0 area 4

Highlight for answer: Area 12

  1. Area 12, I think the interface level area commands take precedence.

    • interface Serial0/3/0
      ip address 136.1.15.1 255.255.255.0
      ip ospf 1 area 5

      router ospf 1
      router-id 150.1.1.1
      log-adjacency-changes
      auto-cost reference-bandwidth 20000
      area 0 authentication message-digest
      redistribute eigrp 100 subnets route-map EIGRP->OSPF
      network 136.1.15.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
      network 150.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 0

      Summary Net Link States (Area 0)

      Link ID ADV Router Age Seq# Checksum
      136.1.4.0 150.1.4.4 1044 0x80000024 0x006CB7
      136.1.15.0 150.1.1.1 217 0x80000001 0x004CF2

      Rack1R1#s ip os int s0/3/0
      Serial0/3/0 is up, line protocol is up
      Internet Address 136.1.15.1/24, Area 5

      So, interface is king, followed by most specific.
