An engineer is setting up an OSPF link-state routing protocol on a router and needs to ensure that a specific identifier is used for the router within the routing process, regardless of the addresses assigned to its interfaces. Which method allows the engineer to manually configure this identifier?
Configure a static route to the desired identifier address.
Use the router-id command under the routing process to manually set the router's identifier.
Adjust the interface priority to match the desired router identifier.
Assign the desired identifier to a loopback interface.
In OSPFv2 (Open Shortest Path First version 2), the router's identifier can be manually set using the router-id command under the routing process configuration. This command allows the engineer to specify a specific Router ID, ensuring it remains consistent regardless of interface IP addresses or their statuses. Assigning the desired IP address to a loopback interface can influence the Router ID selection but does not guarantee it if another method with higher precedence, like the manual command, is used. Configuring a static route does not affect the Router ID. Modifying the interface priority affects Designated Router (DR) and Backup Designated Router (BDR) elections, not the Router ID itself.
