To prevent inter-area routing loops, OSPF does not allow advertising routing information between two non-backbone areas and allows sing routing information only within an area or between the backbone area and a non-backbone area. Therefore, each ABR must be connected to the backbone area.
Answer(s): A
Explanation:
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) mandates that the backbone area (Area 0) serves as the central area for routing information exchange. To avoid inter-area routing loops, routing information is only exchanged between the backbone area and non-backbone areas, not directly between two non- backbone areas. Consequently, each Area Border Router (ABR) must connect to the backbone area to facilitate this routing exchange .
