D. There is an OSPF network type mismatch that causes the advertising router to be unreachable.
A common problem when using Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is routes in the database don't appear in the routing table. In most cases OSPF finds a discrepancy in the database so it doesn't install the route in the routing table. Often, you can see the Adv Router is not- reachable message (which means that the router advertising the LSA is not reachable through OSPF) on top of the link-state advertisement (LSA) in the database when this problem occurs. Here is an example: Adv Router is not-reachable LS agE. 418 Options: (No TOS-capability, DC) LS TypE. Router Links Link State ID. 172.16.32.2 Advertising Router: 172.16.32.2 LS Seq Number: 80000002 Checksum: 0xFA63 Length: 60 Number of Links: 3 There are several reasons for this problem, most of which deal with mis-configuration or a broken topology. When the configuration is corrected the OSPF database discrepancy goes away and the routes appear in the routing table. Reason 1: Network Type Mismatch Let's use the following network diagram as an example:

R4-4K R1-7010 interface Loopback0 ip address 172.16.33.1 255.255.255.255
interface Serial2 ip address 172.16.32.1 255.255.255.0 ip ospf network broadcast
router ospf 20 network 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 0 interface Loopback0 ip address 172.16.30.1 255.255.255.255 ! interface Serial1/0 ip address 172.16.32.2 255.255.255.0 clockrate 64000
router ospf 20 network 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 0 R4-4K(4)# show ip ospf interface serial 2 Serial2 is up, line protocol is up Internet Address 172.16.32.1/24, Area 0 Process ID 20, Router ID 172.16.33.1, Network Type BROADCAST, Cost: 64 Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State DR, Priority 1 Designated Router (ID) 172.16.33.1, Interface address 172.16.32.1 Backup Designated router (ID) 172.16.32.2, Interface address 172.16.32.2 Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 40, Retransmit 5 Hello due in 00:00:08 Neighbor Count is 1, Adjacent neighbor count is 1 Adjacent with neighbor 172.16.32.2 (Backup Designated Router) Suppress hello for 0 neighbor(s)
R1-7010(5)# show ip ospf interface serial 1/0 Serial1/0 is up, line protocol is up Internet Address 172.16.32.2/24, Area 0 Process ID 20, Router ID 172.16.32.2, Network Type POINT_TO_POINT, Cost: 64 Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State POINT_TO_POINT, Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 40, Retransmit 5 Hello due in 00:00:02 Neighbor Count is 1, Adjacent neighbor count is 1 Adjacent with neighbor 172.16.33.1 Suppress hello for 0 neighbor(s)
As you can see above, Router R4-4K is configured for broadcast, and Router R1-7010 is configured for point-to-point. This kind of network type mismatch makes the advertising router unreachable.
R4-4K(4)# show ip ospf database router 172.16.32.2
Adv Router is not-reachable LS agE. 418 Options: (No TOS-capability, DC) LS TypE. Router Links Link State ID. 172.16.32.2 Advertising Router: 172.16.32.2 LS Seq Number: 80000002 Checksum: 0xFA63 Length: 60 Number of Links: 3 Link connected to: another Router (point-to-point) (Link ID) Neighboring Router ID. 172.16.33.1 (Link Data) Router Interface address: 172.16.32.2 Number of TOS metrics: 0 TOS 0 Metrics: 64

Link connected to: a Transit Network (Link ID) Designated Router address: 172.16.32.1 (Link Data) Router Interface address: 172.16.32.1 Number of TOS metrics: 0 TOS 0 Metrics: 64
You can see that for subnet 172.16.32.0/24, Router R1-7010 is generating a point-to-point link and Router R4-4K is generating a transit link. This creates a discrepancy in the link- state database, which means no routes are installed in the routing table.
R1-7010(5)# show ip route 172.16.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 3 subnets, 2 masks C 172.16.32.0/24 is directly connected, Serial1/0 C 172.16.30.1/32 is directly connected, Loopback0 Solution To solve this problem, configure both routers for the same network type. You can either change the network type of Router R1-7010 to broadcast, or change Router R4-4K's serial interface to point-to-point.
