4A0-113 Exam FAQs for 2026 Candidates
Which certification does the 4A0-113 exam lead to?
The 4A0-113 exam is the official Nokia exam behind the Nokia Service Routing Certification (SRC) certification, validating the skills measured by the Nokia OSPF Routing Protocol credential. It sits at the Professional level of the Nokia certification program. It also connects to Nokia Service Routing Associate (SRA), Nokia Service Routing Specialist (SRS), so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.
Are there any prerequisites for the 4A0-113 exam?
Basic IP routing and networking knowledge recommended; familiarity with Nokia SR OS or service routing concepts is beneficial. Requirements can change when Nokia revises its certification program, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official exam page before you register.
How do I register for the 4A0-113 exam?
You can book the Nokia OSPF Routing Protocol exam through the official registration channels below:
As for delivery, the exam is offered in the following format: Computer-based exam (online or authorized test center depending on region). Choose the option that suits you best when you book your seat.
What official training is recommended for the 4A0-113 exam?
Nokia recommends the following training resources for the Nokia OSPF Routing Protocol exam:
Official courses build the foundation; the 106 practice questions from Getcertkey then show you how that knowledge is examined, so the two work best together.
Can I try the 4A0-113 practice questions before I buy?
Yes. Getcertkey provides a free 4A0-113 PDF demo so you can review the question style and answer quality before purchasing. Every purchase also includes 365 days of free updates — if Nokia revises the exam during that period, the updated material reaches you at no cost. Once the free-update year ends, you can extend your update service at a 50% discount.
What if I fail the 4A0-113 exam, and how is my order delivered?
Every Nokia OSPF Routing Protocol purchase on Getcertkey is covered by a 100% money-back guarantee with clear conditions: if you take the corresponding exam within 60 days of your purchase and do not pass, you can claim a full refund by submitting a scanned copy of your exam enrollment slip and your official score report as a PDF within two days of the exam date; claims are processed within seven days of submission. The guarantee does not apply to exams taken within three days of purchase, to material that was downloaded but never used in an exam attempt, or to free products and expired orders, and the candidate name must match the payer name. If you would rather not take a refund, you can instead exchange your purchase for two free exam preparation products of equal value and keep the update service on your original product.
Delivery is instant: your download is sent to your email within one minute of payment, with no limit on how many computers you may install the material on. If nothing arrives within two hours, check your spam folder and contact customer service for help.
What topics are covered in the 4A0-113 exam?
The Nokia OSPF Routing Protocol exam blueprint is organized into 7 domains. The first three are:
- OSPF Route Calculation and Optimization
- Advanced OSPF Features
- OSPF Neighbor Relationships

Nokia OSPF Routing Protocol Sample Questions:
Question #1
Click the exhibit button.
What triggers convergence of the routing protocol when the link between switch 1 and switch 2 goes down?
A. Convergence is triggered when the physical interfaces between routers R1 and R2 go down. At this point, both routers R1 and R2 re-compute their link state database and send updates to their adjacent routers. Once the process is complete for all routers, the networks have converged.
B. Convergence is triggered when the adjacency between routers R1 and R2 drops as a result of Hello timeouts. At this point, both routers R1 and R2 re-compute their link state database and send updates to their adjacent routers. Once the process is complete for all routers, the networks have converged.
C. Convergence is triggered when the switches notify the routers about the link state information. At this point, both routers R1 and R2 re-compute their link state database and send updates to their adjacent routers. Once the process is complete for all routers, the networks have converged.
D. Convergence will not be triggered because switches cannot run routing protocols between them.
E. Convergence is triggered when an LSA is sent from router R1 to router R2 to indicate that the link is down. At this point, both routers R1 and R2 re-compute their link state database and send updates to their adjacent routers. Once the process is complete for all routers, the networks have converged.
Question #2
Which of the following statements regarding area border routers in an OSPF network is true?
A. Area border routers connect the backbone area to other areas in an OSPF network.
B. An OSPF network needs at least one area border router to function.
C. The term backbone router has the same definition as the term area border router.
D. By definition, an area border router must perform route summarization between areas.
Question #3
In an OSPF Hello packet what fields must match all neighbor routers on the segment? (Choose 3)
A. Stub flag
B. Hello and Dead Intervals
C. Area ID
D. DR and BDR addresses
E. The list of neighbors
Question #4
Which of the following statements best describes an OSPF type 3 LSA?
A. An OSPF type 3 LSA is an inter-area LSA, generated by the ABR only when route summarization is configured.
B. An OSPF type 3 LSA is an intra-area LSA, generated by the ABR only when route summarization is configured.
C. An OSPF type 3 LSA is an inter-area LSA, generated by an ASBR to describe external routes.
D. An OSPF type 3 LSA is an inter-area LSA, generated by the ABR to describe a route to neighbors outside the area.
Question #5
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of RIPv1?
A. 30 second network updates
B. Broadcast advertisement
C. Classless routing
D. Poison Reverse
