Background / Scenario
To make OSPF more efficient and scalable, OSPF supports hierarchical routing using the concept of areas.
An OSPF area is a group of routers that share the same link-state information in their link-state databases
(LSDBs). When a large OSPF area is divided into smaller areas, it is called multiarea OSPF. Multiarea OSPF
is useful in larger network deployments to reduce processing and memory overhead.
In the lab, you will configure a multiarea OSPFv2 network with interarea summary routes.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure,
contact your instructor.

Part 2: Configure a Multiarea OSPFv2 Network

In Part 2, you will configure a multiarea OSPFv2 network with process ID of 1. All LAN loopback interfaces
should be passive, and all serial interfaces should be configured with MD5 authentication using Cisco123 as
the key.

Step 1: Identify the OSPF router types in the topology.

Identify the Backbone router(s): ______________________
Identify the Autonomous System Boundary Router(s) (ASBR): __________________
Identify the Area Border Router(s) (ABR): ____________________
Identify the Internal router(s): _______________________

Step 2: Configure OSPF on R1.

a.

Configure a router ID of 1.1.1.1 with OSPF process ID of 1.

b.

Add the networks for R1 to OSPF.

Step 5: Verify that OSPF settings are correct and adjacencies have been established between
routers.
a.

Issue the show ip protocols command to verify OSPF settings on each router. Use
this command to identify the OSPF router types and to determine the networks assigned to each area.

Step 6: Configure MD5 authentication on all serial interfaces.

Configure OSPF MD5 authentication at the interface level with an authentication key of Cisco123.
Why is it a good idea to verify that OSPF is functioning correctly before configuring OSPF authentication?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________

Step 7: Verify OSPF adjacencies have been re-established.

Issue the show ip ospf neighbor command again to verify that adjacencies have been re-established after
MD5 authentication was implemented. Troubleshoot any issues found before moving on to Part 3.

Part 3: Configure Interarea Summary Routes

OSPF does not perform automatic summarization. Interarea summarization must be manually configured on
ABRs. In Part 3, you will apply interarea summary routes on the ABRs. Using show commands, you will be
able to observe how summarization affects the routing table and LSDBs.

Step 1: Display the OSPF routing tables on all routers.

a. Issue the show ip route ospf command on R1. OSPF routes that originate from a different area have a
descriptor (O IA) indicating that these are interarea routes.
R1# show ip route ospf
Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route

Objectives
Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings
Part 2: Configure Multiarea OSPFv3 Routing
Part 3: Configure Interarea Route Summarization

Background / Scenario
Using multiarea OSPFv3 in large IPv6 network deployments can reduce router processing by creating smaller
routing tables and requiring less memory overhead. In multiarea OSPFv3, all areas are connected to the
backbone area (area 0) through area border routers (ABRs).
In this lab, you will implement OSPFv3 routing for multiple areas and configure interarea route
summarizations on the Area Border Routers (ABRs). You will also use a number of show commands to
display and verify OSPFv3 routing information. This lab uses loopback addresses to simulate networks in
multiple OSPFv3 areas.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at this end of this lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure,
contact your instructor.

d. Assign cisco as the vty password.

e. Configure a MOTD banner to warn users that unauthorized access is prohibited.
f.

Configure logging synchronous for the console line.

g. Encrypt plain text passwords.

h. Configure the IPv6 unicast and link-local addresses listed in the Addressing Table for all interfaces.
i.

Enable IPv6 unicast routing on each router.

j.

Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.

Step 4: Test connectivity.

The routers should be able to ping one another. The routers are unable to ping distant loopbacks until
OSPFv3 routing is configured. Verify and troubleshoot if necessary.

Part 5: Configure Multiarea OSPFv3 Routing

In Part 2, you will configure OSPFv3 routing on all routers to separate the network domain into three distinct
areas, and then verify that routing tables are updated correctly.

Step 1: Assign router IDs.

a. On R1, issue the ipv6 router ospf command to start an OSPFv3 process on the router.
R1(config)# ipv6 router ospf 1
Note: The OSPF process ID is kept locally and has no meaning to other routers on the network.
b. Assign the OSPFv3 router ID 1.1.1.1 to R1.
R1(config-rtr)# router-id 1.1.1.1
c.

Assign a router ID of 2.2.2.2 to R2 and a router ID of 3.3.3.3 to R3.

d. Issue the show ipv6 ospf command to verify the router IDs on all routers.
R2# show ipv6 ospf
Routing Process "ospfv3 1" with ID 2.2.2.2
Event-log enabled, Maximum number of events: 1000, Mode: cyclic

<output omitted>

Step 2: Configure multiarea OSPFv3.

a. Issue the ipv6 ospf 1 area area-id command for each interface on R1 that is to participate in OSPFv3
routing. The loopback interfaces are assigned to area 1 and the serial interface is assigned to area 0. You
will change the network type on the loopback interfaces to ensure that the correct subnet is advertised.
R1(config)# interface lo0
R1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf 1 area 1
R1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf network point-to-point
R1(config-if)# interface lo1
R1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf 1 area 1
R1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf network point-to-point

R1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf network point-to-point
R1(config-if)# interface s0/0/0
R1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf 1 area 0
b. Use the show ipv6 protocols command to verify multiarea OSPFv3 status.

interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router
class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device.
The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An
example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be
used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.

Background / Scenario
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is an open-standard link-state routing protocol for IP networks. OSPFv2 is
defined for IPv4 networks, while OSPFv3 is defined for IPv6 networks. OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 are completely
isolated routing protocols, meaning changes in OSPFv2 do not affect OSPFv3 routing, and vice versa.
In this lab, a multiarea OSPF network running OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 is experiencing problems. You have
been assigned to find the problems with the network and correct them.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure,
contact your instructor.

Step 3: Save your configuration.

Part 2: Troubleshoot Layer 3 Connectivity

In Part 2, you will verify that Layer 3 connectivity is established on all interfaces. You will need to test both
IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity for all device interfaces.

Step 1: Verify the interfaces listed in the Addressing Table are active and configured with
correct IP address information.
a. Issue the show ip interface brief command on all three routers to verify that the interfaces are in an
up/up state.
b. Issue the show run | section interface command to view all the commands related to interfaces.
c.

Resolve all problems found. Record the commands used to correct the configuration.

d. Using the ping command, verify that IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity has been established on all directly
connected router interfaces. If problems still exist, continue troubleshooting Layer 3 issues.

Part 3: Troubleshoot OSPFv2

Note: LAN (loopback) interfaces should not advertise OSPF routing information, but routes to these networks
should be contained in the routing tables.

Step 1: Test IPv4 end-to-end connectivity.

From each router, ping all interfaces on the other routers. Record your results below as IPv4 OSPFv2
connectivity problems do exist.

Step 2: Verify that all interfaces are assigned to the proper OSPFv2 areas on R1.
a. Issue the show ip protocols command to verify that OSPF is running and that all networks are being
advertised in the correct areas. Verify that the router ID is set correctly, as well for OSPF.
b. If required, make the necessary changes needed to the configuration on R1 based on the output from the
show ip protocols command. Record the commands used to correct the configuration.
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________

c.

If required, re-issue the show ip protocols command to verify that your changes had the desired effect.

d. Issue the show ip ospf interface brief command to verify that the serial interface and loopback
interfaces 1 and 2 are listed as OSPF networks assigned to their respective areas.
e. Resolve any problems discovered on R1 for OSPFv2.

Step 3: Verify that all interfaces are assigned to the proper OSPFv2 areas on R2.
a. Issue the show ip protocols command to verify that OSPF is running and that all networks are being
advertised in their proper respective areas. Verify that the router ID is also set correctly.
b. If required, make any necessary changes to the configuration on R2 based on the output from the show
ip protocols command. Record the commands used to correct the configuration.

d. Issue the show ip ospf interface brief command to verify that all interfaces are listed as OSPF networks
assigned to their proper areas.
e. Resolve any problems discovered on R3 for OSPFv2.

Step 5: Verify OSPFv2 neighbor information.

Issue the show ip ospf neighbor command to verify that each router has all OSPFv2 neighbors listed.

Step 6: Verify OSPFv2 routing information.

a. Issue the show ip route ospf command to verify that each router has all OSPFv2 routes in their
respective routing tables.
b. If any OSPFv2 routes are missing, troubleshoot and resolve the problems.

Step 7: Verify IPv4 end-to-end connectivity.

From each router, ping all interfaces on other routers. If IPv4 end-to-end connectivity does not exist, then
continue troubleshooting to resolve any remaining issues.

Part 4: Troubleshoot OSPFv3

Note: LAN (loopback) interfaces should not advertise OSPFv3 routing information, but routes to these
networks should be contained in the routing tables.

Step 1: Test IPv6 end-to-end connectivity.

From each router, ping all interfaces on the other routers. Record your results as IPv6 connectivity problems
do exist.

Step 2: Verify that IPv6 unicast routing has been enabled on all routers.
a. An easy way to verify that IPv6 routing has been enabled on a router is to use the show run | section
ipv6 unicast command. By adding the pipe section to the show run command, the ipv6 unicast-routing
command is displayed if IPv6 routing has been enabled.

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many
interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router
class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device.
The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An
example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be
used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
