In OSPF, what does the letter R in an OSPF router type stand for?

  1. Relay
  2. Router ✓
  3. Route-redistributor
  4. Repeater

Correct answer: Router

Option B is correct: in OSPF terminology, the R in router type designations simply stands for Router, as in the Internal Router, Backbone Router, Area Border Router (ABR), and Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) classifications that together form the OSPF router taxonomy. Option A, Relay, is not an OSPF concept and has no meaning within the OSPF router-type classification system. Option C, Route-redistributor, describes a functional behavior (redistributing routes between routing domains) that maps to the ASBR role but is not the literal meaning of the letter R in the type name. Option D, Repeater, is a Layer 1 device concept from physical networking and has no relevance to OSPF router type designations.
