Which of the following network types does OSPF support?
Broadcast.
Point-to-Point.
Non-Broadcast Multi-Access (NBMA).
Point-to-Multipoint.
OSPF Network Types Overview:OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) supports different network types based on the underlying physical or logical topology:
A. Broadcast: OSPF assumes a fully meshed network, like Ethernet. DR/BDR elections occur.
B. Point-to-Point: A simple two-node network where no DR/BDR elections occur.
C. NBMA: OSPF operates over WAN technologies like Frame Relay. DR/BDR elections occur.
D. Point-to-Multipoint: OSPF operates on logically defined topologies where broadcast or multicast is not supported.
OSPF Flexibility:OSPF accommodates all these network types to ensure compatibility with a variety of link-layer technologies.
