A network engineer is configuring an OSPFv2 neighbor adjacency Drag and drop the parameters from the left onto their required categories on the right. Not all parameters are used
OSPFv2 neighbors do not form just because two routers can ping each other. Several parameters must agree before adjacency can progress. The interfaces must be in the same IP subnet and OSPF area. Hello and dead intervals must match. Authentication, if configured, must match. Stub-area flags must match, and MTU mismatches can prevent database exchange from completing. Router IDs must be unique, but they do not have to match. OSPF process IDs are locally significant on Cisco IOS, so the process number can differ between neighbors. Network type also matters because it affects DR/BDR election and adjacency behavior. Cisco CCNA v1.1 IP Connectivity includes single-area OSPFv2 configuration and neighbor adjacency requirements. The point of the drag-and-drop is to separate mandatory matching values from values that are local-only or simply need uniqueness. A clean OSPF adjacency requires matching operational parameters on the shared link, not identical router configuration everywhere.
