1. To what IP address does OSPF send packets destined for all OSPF routers in the LAN?
The BGP process injects local routes in two different ways[md]1) using the network configuration commands and 2) using redistribution by another routing protocol.
OSPF addresses packets to multicast address 224.0.0.5.

Using the default-metric command in BGP configuration mode causes all redistributed networks to have the specified MED value.
2. What are five possible reasons that the OSPF neighbor list might be empty when troubleshooting OSPF?
Cisco routers prefer a higher weight value.
During the OSPF adjacency process - the Exchange State follows the Exstart State.
