Q:

What is the difference between the types of routes allowed by default into IS-IS and OSPF areas?

Answer

By default, all routes are advertised into all OSPF areas. This includes interarea OSPF routes and external routes that have been injected into OSPF. By default, IS-IS does not advertise interarea or external routes into an area, but injects a default route.

Q:

How does OSPF determine the DR on a multi-access network?

Answer

The router with the highest interface priority will be the router ID. If all the interface priorities on the multi-access network are the same, the router with the highest router ID will be the DR.

Q:

Why are intra-area summary routes not allowed?

Answer

OSPF databases on routers in the same area must be identical. If route summarization was allowed within an area, some routers would have specific routes and some routers would have summary routes for routes in the area. If this were allowed, the databases for the area would never agree
