CISCO CCNA Exam – Q250

Which statement describes the process ID that is used to run OSPF on a router?

A. It is globally significant and is used to represent the AS number.
B. It is locally significant and is used to identify an instance of the OSPF database.
C. It is globally significant and is used to identify OSPF stub areas.
D. It is locally significant and must be the same throughout an area.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:
The Process ID for OSPF on a router is only locally significant and you can use the same number on each router, or each router can have a different number-it just doesn’t matter. The numbers you can use are from 1 to 65,535. Don’t get this confused with area numbers, which can be from 0 to 4.2 billion.
