You are configuring OSPF on each of the devices shown. After verifying the OSPF neighbor table on each, you notice that Router-1 and Access-1 have neighbors in the 2WAY state. What is the reason for this?
A.
Router-1 and Access-1 have reached a tie in the DR election.
B.
Router-1 and Access-1 have no OSPF networks to advertise.
C.
This is normal behavior for OSPF neighbors on a broadcast network.
D.
IGMP snooping has been configured on Router-1 and Access-1.
OSPF neighbors on broadcast networks typically reach the 2WAY state during the DR/BDR election process. It is normal behavior for OSPF neighbors on a broadcast network to be in the 2WAY state until a Designated Router (DR) and Backup DR (BDR) are elected.
The tie in DR election explains why multiple neighbors can be in 2WAY.
No OSPF networks advertised would not cause 2WAY.
IGMP snooping does not affect OSPF adjacency states.
