A network engineer is tracing packets through the network but packets are not load balancing over paths as expected. What are two actions the engineer should take? (Choose two.)

  • Check priority values on interfaces.
  • Check summarization on ABRs.
  • Use the show ip protocols command to verify the maximum number of paths that are allowed to load balance.
  • Check end-to-end costs.
  • Verify if any distribute lists are applied.

Explanation: OSPF can only load balance over equal-cost paths. The default number of paths is 4 and the maximum is 16. Use the show ip protocols command to see the current value. Then check end-to-end costs and ensure they are equal costs. Priority values on interfaces apply to DR/BDR elections. Distribute lists affect routes going in the routing table. Summarization would not affect load balancing.
