Multiarea OSPF is a big topic on the CCNP ROUTE exam, and I've written several different Cisco certification practice exams to help you master this topic.
Links to the other OSPF multiarea practice exams can be found at the end of the answers to this one.
As always with my practice exams, all multiple choice questions are "select all that apply".
Question 1:
The cost of an E2 route indicates what?
A. The cost of the path from the local router to the ASBR.
B. The cost of the path from the ASBR to the destination network.
C. The full cost of the path to the destination network from the local router.
D. The cost of the path from the ABR to the destination network.
Question 2:
What LSA type (numeric value) is generated by an ABR and describes inter-area links?
Question 3:
The cost of an E1 route indicates which of the following?
A. The cost of the path from the local router to the ASBR.
B. The cost of the path from the ASBR to the destination network.
C. The cost of the path from the local router to the destination network.
D. The cost of the path from the ASBR to the destination network.
Question 6:
You see a route marked "O IA" in your Cisco routing table. You know what the "O" stands for, or you wouldn't be taking this exam. :)
However, what does the "IA" indicate regarding the destination network?
A. It's in the same area as the local router.
B. It's in another area.
C. It will be reached via a default route.
D. The route was learned via route redistribution.
Question 7:
What's the number of the LSA type that is generated by every router for every area it belongs to, and is flooded to a single area only?

Answers:
1. "B". The default setting for a route learned by OSPF via redistribution is E2, and the metric of an E2 route is only the cost of the path from the ASBR to the destination network.
2. Type 3 LSAs are generated by ABRs and describe inter-area routes.
3. "C". OSPF E1 routes reflect the entire cost of the path from the local router to the destination network.
4. "C". As mentioned in the answer to Question 1. :)
5. "D". It's not one of the most common OSPF commands, but you can get some important information from the show ip ospf border-routers command.
6. "B". The "IA" indicates a network that is in another OSPF area.
7. Type 1 LSAs are generated by every router for every area that it belongs to, and these LSAs are never flooded outside that particular area.
