Which of the following is not a type of OSPF packet?

A. hello
B. link-state request
C. link-state response
D. link-state ack
Answer» C. link-state response
Explanation: The five types of OSPF packets are: Hello, Database description, Linkstate
request, Link-state update, and Link-state ACK. There is no Link-state response
packet; the neighbor router sends a Link-state update packet as a response to the
Linkstate request packet if there is an update in the routing table.
610.

In OSPF header, which field is used to detect errors in the packet?

A. type
B. area id

Explanation: The checksum field is used to detect errors. It makes sure that the data
portions that are being sent are all in integrity. It can detect duplicated bits. Once an
error is detected, the sender has to re-transmit the data as it won’t receive an
acknowledgment.
