Which two requirements are necessary before a router configured with a link-state routing protocol can build and send its link-state packets? (Choose two.)

  • The router has determined the costs associated with its active links.
  • The router has built its link-state database.
  • The routing table has been refreshed.
  • The router has established its adjacencies.
  • The router has constructed an SPF tree.

Explanation: Once a router has established its adjacencies, it can build its link-state packets (LSPs) that contain the link-state information, including the link cost. A router can only build a link-state after it has received link-state packets from adjacent routers. It then constructs its SPF tree from the least cost routes to remote networks which are used to populate its routing table.
