Objectives
Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings
Part 2: Configure Multi-area OSPFv3 Routing

Background / Scenario
Using multi-area OSPFv3 in large IPv6 network deployments can reduce router processing cycles by creating
smaller routing tables and requiring less memory overhead. In multi-area 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. 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.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.

Lab - Configuring Multi-area OSPFv3

Required Resources
• 3 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)
• 3 PCs (Windows with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)
• Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
• Serial cables as shown in the topology

Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings

In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings on the routers.

Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.

Step 2: Initialize and reload the routers as necessary.

Step 3: Configure basic settings for each router.

a. Disable DNS lookup.
b. Configure device name as shown in the topology.
c. Assign class as the privileged EXEC password.
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 plaintext 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 2: Configure Multi-area 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. Start an OSPFv3 process on R2 and R3 and assign a router ID of 2.2.2.2 to R2 and a router ID of 3.3.3.3
to R3.

Lab - Configuring Multi-area OSPFv3

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
Router is not originating router-LSAs with maximum metric
<output omitted>

Step 2: Configure multi-area 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)# interface lo2
R1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf 1 area 1
R1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf network point-to-point
R1(config-if)# interface lo3

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 multi-area OSPFv3 status.
R1# show ipv6 protocols
IPv6 Routing Protocol is "connected"
IPv6 Routing Protocol is "ND"
IPv6 Routing Protocol is "ospf 1"
Router ID 1.1.1.1

Interfaces (Area 0):
Serial0/0/0
Interfaces (Area 1):

Loopback1
Loopback2
Loopback3
Redistribution:
None
c. Assign all interfaces on R2 to participate in OSPFv3 area 0. For the loopback interface, change the
network type to point-to point. Write the commands used in the space below.

Reflection
1. Why would multi-area OSPFv3 be used?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Answers will vary. Multi-area OSPFv3 can be used in large network domains to improve the efficiency of the
routing process, decrease the size of routing tables, and decrease router CPU/memory processing
requirements.

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.
