On which of the following networks will OSPF elect a designated router (DR)? (Choose two.)
A.
Broadcast
B.
NBMA
C.
Point-to-point
D.
Point-to-multipoint
Explanation:
OSPF will perform an election for a designated router (DR) and backup designated router (BDR) on every multiaccess network segment. Multi-access segments are defined as segments where more than two hosts can
reach each other directly, such as a shared Ethernet segment (broadcast multi-access) or Frame Relay (nonbroadcast multi-access, or NBMA).
DR and BDR elections do not occur on point-to-point or point-to-multipoint segments. Point-to-point and pointto-multipoint segments are not considered multi-access segments. OSPF routers on these network types will
establish an adjacency without a DR/BDR election.
