In the above network, which one of the following area types is Area 2?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking about the classification of network areas based on a diagram, specifically identifying what type of area 'Area 2' is within the context of networking (e.g., stub area, transit area, etc.).

More Information

Area 2 connects to a RIP Domain, typical of a Not So Stubby Area, allowing external routes to enter OSPF while limiting extra OSPF information.

Tips

Mistaking NSSA for a Stub area can occur if one overlooks its capacity to import external routes.
