HPE Aruba Certified Mobility Professional (ACMP) — Question 80

A network administrator can set the OSPF metric-type on an AOS-Switch to Type 1 or Type 2. What is the difference?

Answer options

• A. A Type 2 metric marks external routes that can be advertised in NSSAs, while a Type 1 metric marks external routes that can only be advertised in normal areas.
• B. A Type 2 metric assigns cost 1 to a 100 Gbps link, while a Type 1 metric assigns cost 1 to all links of 100 Mbps or higher.
• C. A Type 2 metric is assigned to multiple external routes that are aggregated together, while a Type 1 metric does not permit external route aggregation.
• D. A Type 2 metric stays the same as the external route is advertised, while a Type 1 metric increments with internal OSPF link costs.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a Type 2 metric does not change as the route is advertised, while a Type 1 metric reflects additional costs from internal OSPF links. Options A, B, and C provide incorrect descriptions of the OSPF metric types and their behaviors.
