Question about sample test question

Hello,

Here is a sample question that gives an answer but I dont understand why they do all the configuration changes on Router2. Why did they choose Router2 in particular?

The BillyBob network consists of three routers as shown in the diagram below. All three routers are connected serially, and all links are up and running properly. The BillyBob network is using OSPF as the routing protocol, and all routers are contained in area 0. Recently, some router configuration changes were made, and some routing issues have occurred as a result. The router information and configurations are shown below:

  • The three routers: Router1, Router2, and Router3 are connected by their serially and their links are good.
  • The routing protocol is OSPF
  • There's only one OSPF area (area 0) Locate the configuration problem and reconfigure it correctly: These are the current configurations: Router1 E0: 192.168.3.1/24 S0: 172.16.10.5/30 Secret password: Router Router2 E0: 192.168.4.1/24 S0: 172.16.10.10/30 S1: 172.16.10.6/30 Secret password: Router Router3 E0: 192.168.5.1/24 S1: 172.16.10.9/30 Secret password: Router

Answer: Explanation: Router2#config Router2(config)#no router ospf 2 Router2(config)#router ospf 2 Router2(configrooter)# network 192.168.4.0 0.0.0.255 area 0 Router2(configrooter)# network 172.16.10.8 0.0.0.3 area 0 Router2(configrooter)# network 172.16.10.4 0.0.0.3 area 0 Router2(configrooter)# CtrlZ Router2#copy running start

If anyone can clear this up for me I wooul d apprciate it.

Because Router2 is in the middle; it has connections to both Router1 & Router3.
