Here are some of the common questions on OSPF at operationel Level :

1. Can communication between areas take place without using backbone area
2. If same route recieved through different LSA's. what will be the order of preference
3. How route summarixation is done at ABR
4. Why LSA 7 is required, as LSA 7 got converted into LSA 5 at the ABR
5. Why the OSPF state got stuck in Exstart and Exchange state
6 Command to use if we don't LSA 7 to get converted into LSA 5
7. Why OSPF is called Link State
8. Which LSA's are allowed in different area types
9. LSA 3, LSA 4, LSA 5 are generated by which routers: ABR or ASBR
10. If no. of routes received from same LSA type for a destination. Which one is preferred
11. In case of NBMA type, DR & BDR concepts
