A route is redistributed into OSPF using the default values. As the route propagates across the OSPF domain, how will the metric be treated by neighboring routers?

A route is redistributed into OSPF using the default values. As the route propagates across the OSPF domain, how will the metric be treated by neighboring routers?

• The route will be advertised as a type N1 route.
• The route will be advertised as a type E1 route.
• The route will be advertised as a type E2 route.
• The route will be advertised as a type N2 route.

Explanation: By default, routes redistributed into OSPF are assigned as External Type 2 (E2) routes. An E2 route maintains a constant external cost (the seed metric, which defaults to 20 for most IGPs) regardless of the internal OSPF cost of the links the packet crosses.
