What action does a link-state router take immediately upon receipt of an LSP from a neighboring router?
Floods the LSP to neighbors
Calculates the SPF algorithm

Why is it difficult for routing loops to occur in networks that use link-state routing?
Each router builds a simple view of the network based on hop count.
Routers flood the network with LSAs to discover routing loops.

A new network administrator is given the task of selecting an appropriate dynamic routing protocol for a software development company. The company has over 100 routers, uses CIDR and VLSM, requires fast convergence, and uses both Cisco and non-Cisco equipment. Which routing protocol is appropriate for this company?
What two events will cause a link state router to send LSPs to all neighbors? (Choose two.)
Whenever the network topology changes
Immediately after the Bellman-Ford algorithm has run
Immediately after the DUAL FSM has built the topology database
Upon initial startup of router or routing protocol

SPF computes best path to each destination network
LSPs are flooded to all neighbors to converge the network
DUAL algorithm is run to find best path to destination networks
Refer to the exhibit. What does JAX do with link-state packets from ORL?
Sends out its updated routing table to both ORL and BOS routers
Sends out the individual link-state packets out the interface connected to BOS
Queries BOS to see if it has a better route
Only adds it to the local routing table and performs no other actions
What two statements correctly describe the link state routing process? (Choose two.)
Each router in the area floods LSPs to all neighbors
All routers in the area have identical link state databases
LSPs use the reserved multicast address of 224.0.0.10 to reach neighbors
Routing loops are prevented by running the Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL)
Reliable Transport Protocol (RTP) is the protocol used by for the delivery and reception of LSPs
Which database or table must be identical on all link-state routers within an area in order to construct an accurate SPF tree?
Refer to the exhibit. Which statement correctly describes the path traffic would take from the 10.0.0.0/24 network to the 192.168.1.0/24 network if a link-state routing protocol was in use?
BOS -> ATL because this path is the least hops
BOS -> ATL because this path is highest cost
BOS -> ORL -> JAX -> ATL because this path is the lowest cost
Traffic would load balance across all links
What feature do modern link-state protocols provide to minimize processing and memory requirements?
Splitting routing topologies into smaller areas
Assigning lower process priorities to route calculations
Using update timers to restrict routing updates
Strict split horizon rules to reduce routing table entries
What speeds up convergence in a network using link-state routing?
Updates triggered by network changes
Updates sent at regular intervals

Updates that include complete routing tables
Which algorithm is run by link-state routing protocols to calculate the shortest path to destination networks?
What are some of the advantages of using a link-state routing protocol instead of a distance vector routing protocol? (Choose two.)
The topology database eliminates the need for a routing table.
Frequent periodic updates are sent to minimize the number of incorrect routes in the topological database.
Routers have direct knowledge of all links in the network and how they are connected.
After the inital LSA flooding, they generally require less bandwidth to communicate changes in a topology.
Link-state protocols require less router processor power than distance vector protocols.
Refer to the exhibit. If all routers and interfaces are configured to use a link-state routing protocol, from which routers will router D receive hello packets?
