JNCIS-ENT: Juniper Networks Certified Specialist – Enterprise Routing and Switching (2025) — Question 6

Which OSPF area type receives only the default route from the backbone?

Answer options

• A. transmit area
• B. totally stubby area
• C. not so stubby area
• D. stub area

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a totally stubby area is designed to receive only the default route from the backbone, without any other inter-area routes. The other options do not have this restriction: a stub area (D) can receive summary routes, a not so stubby area (C) can receive external routes, and a transmit area (A) is not a standard OSPF area type.
