Best Answer

A "database" is a collection of information, often organized in tables. OSPF routers - i.e., routers that implement the OSPF routing protocols - need to maintain several databases, for example, a neighbor database (a list of connected neighbors), and a link-state database (a list of all the connections between different routers in the same area, which the router has learned about).

What is OSPF adjacencies?

OSPF is a link-state routing protocol that helps Routers exchange IP routes. OSPF Adjacencies is the established "neighborship" between two OSPF routers in order to make the exchange of routes. In this case, Adjacency means the same as "peering", that the OSPF speakers (routers) are able to "talk" to each other.


Which two commands can be used to modify the default OSPF metric calculation of a link?

The "ip ospf cost" command can be used to manually set the cost of an OSPF-enabled interface. The "bandwidth" command can indirectly affect OSPF metric calculation by adjusting the bandwidth on an interface, which in turn affects the OSPF metric calculation.
