Task
Task: Configure OSPF in Area0 and Area1 (on R1, R2 and R3) so that PC1 from Area1 could Ping PC2 and PC3 in
Area1 successfully

Related Info:
‐ OSPF Process ID: 1
‐ OSPF Areas: Area0, Area1
‐ All Loopback IP’s, Interface IP’s are mentioned in this topology Diagram
‐ PC IP/Gateway, Router Interface IP’s and Loopback IP’s are already configured (so that you can focus
on the OSPF configuration)
‐ PC2 should be configured in Area0

Solution

Step1: Enable OSPF Protocol on all Routers. Assign Process ID 1 to this new OSPF instance.
R1(config)#router ospf 1
R2(config)#router ospf 1
R3(config)#router ospf 1

Step2: Enable OSPF on Router Interfaces connected to each other in relevant Areas:
R1(config-router)#network 12.12.12.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
R2(config-router)#network 12.12.12.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

 R2(config-router)#network 23.23.23.0 0.0.0.255 area 1
R3(config-router)#network 23.23.23.0 0.0.0.255 area 1

Step3: Enable OSPF on Router Interfaces where PC’s are connected:

R1(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
R2(config-router)#network 172.16.0.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
R3(config-router)#network 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255 area 1

 Verification
✓ Verification1: Verify the connectivity and routes using Show commands on R1, R2 and R3 as in below:
R1#show ip route
R2#show ip route
R3#show ip route

It shows that our configuration is successful because both routers are exchanging their routes with each other now. R1
has routes to reach R2’s/R3’s subnets(PC2/PC3) and similar for R2 and R3 as in below:

*Note the difference of 172.16.0.0 route seen from R1 and R3 in above.

On R1, it is appearing as Route Type ‘O’ (normal OSPF Route)
On R3, it is appearing as Route type ‘OIA’ (OSPF Inter-Area Route).

✓ Verification2: Verify the connectivity and routes using Ping from PC1 to PC2 and from PC2 to PC1:
PC1#ping 172.16.0.2
PC1#ping 192.168.0.2
PC2#ping 10.0.0.2
PC2#ping 192.168.0.2
PC3#ping 10.0.0.2
PC3#ping 172.16.0.2

Ping works successfully. Some ping results are shown as in below. It means that our Configuration has been successful:
