Lab 17

The document provides instructions for a lab exercise on configuring OSPF on point-to-point networks. The lab objectives are to learn how to enable OSPF on HDLC and PPP point-to-point links. The tasks include configuring hostnames and IP addresses on routers R1 and R3, enabling PPP encapsulation on their serial link with a clock rate of 768Kbps, and enabling OSPF in area 0 between the routers with different process IDs of 1 and 3.

Lab 17: Configuring OSPF on Point-to-Point Networks

Lab Objective:
The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn and understand how to enable OSPF on
point-to-point network types. These include HDLC and PPP.
Lab Purpose:
Enabling OSPF on point-to-point network types is a fundamental skill. OSPF is the most
popular Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) and it is imperative to understand how OSPF
adjacencies are established on point-to-point network types. OSPF uses the concept of
Areas. In order for two OSPF-enabled routers to establish an adjacency, they must reside in
the same OSPF Area. Unlike EIGRP which uses Autonomous System Numbers, OSPF is
enabled using a locally significant Process ID. As a Cisco engineer, as well as in the Cisco
CCNA exam, you will be expected to know how to enable OSPF on point-to-point network
types.
Lab Topology:
Please use the following topology to complete this lab exercise:

Task 1:
Configure the hostnames on routers R1 and R3 as illustrated in the topology.
Task 2:
Configure R1 S0/0 which is a DCE to provide a clock rate of 768Kbps to R3. Enable PPP
on the link between R1 and R3 configure the IP addresses illustrated in the topology.
Task 3:
Enable OSPF in Area 0 between R1 and R3. For R1, use an OSPF Process ID of 1. For R3
use an OSPF Process ID of 3. Verify your OSPF adjacency has formed between R1 and R3.
Also verify that the default network type for the PPP link between R1 and R3 is point-to-
point.
SOLUTION:
Task 2:
R1#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
R1(config)#int s0/0
R1(config-if)#clock rate 768000
R1(config-if)#encapsulation ppp
R1(config-if)#ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.192
R1(config-if)#no shut
R1(config-if)#end
R1#
R3#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
R3(config)#int s0/0
R3(config-if)#ip address 172.16.1.2 255.255.255.192
R3(config-if)#encap ppp
R3(config-if)#no shutdown
R3(config-if)#^Z
R3#
R1#ping 172.16.1.2
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.16.1.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/4/4 ms
R3#ping 172.16.1.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.16.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/4/8 ms
Task 3:
NOTE: Unlike EIGRP configuration where wildcard masks following network statements
are optional, in OSPF you MUST use a wildcard mask with your network statements. To
determine the wildcard mask, you can simply subtract the network mask for the network on
which you want to enable OSPF from the Broadcast mask. This concept is illustrated in the
subtraction table shown below:
Broadcast Mask 255 255 255 255
[minus] Subnet Mask 255 255 255 192
[equals] Wildcard Mask 0 0 0 63
In our example, the subnet mask of the 172.16.1.0/26 subnet is 255.255.255.192. If this is
subtracted from the Broadcast mask of 255.255.255.255 the result is 0.0.0.63, which is the
wildcard mask we use to enable OSPF for this subnet. Take some time to practice configur-
ing wildcard masks for different subnets.
R1#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
R1(config)#router ospf 1
R1(config-router)#network 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.63 area 0
R1(config-router)#end
R1#
R3#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
R3(config)#router ospf 3
R3(config-router)#network 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.63 area 0
R3(config-router)#^Z
R3#
R1#show ip ospf neighbor
Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface
172.16.1.2 0 FULL/ - 00:00:36 172.16.1.2 Serial0/0
R1#show ip ospf interface serial 0/0

Internet Address 172.16.1.1/26, Area 0
Process ID 1, Router ID 172.16.1.1, Network Type POINT_TO_POINT, Cost: 64
Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State POINT_TO_POINT,

oob-resync timeout 40
Hello due in 00:00:06
Index 1/1, flood queue length 0

Last flood scan length is 1, maximum is 1
Last flood scan time is 0 msec, maximum is 0 msec
Neighbor Count is 1, Adjacent neighbor count is 1
Adjacent with neighbor 172.16.1.2
Suppress hello for 0 neighbor(s)
NOTE: When verifying OSPF adjacencies, always ensure that neighbors are in the FULL
state for point-to-point networks. If they are in any other state, you will need to perform
some troubleshooting to identify the root cause of the issue. Take a moment to look at the
detail contained in the output of the show ip ospf interface serial 0/0 command. From this
output, we can determine that the OSPF network type is point-to-point: Network Type
POINT_TO_POINT; the interface has an OSPF metric, or cost of 64: Cost: 64; and at the
very botton, there is one OSPF neighbor with which an OSPF adjacency has been created
via this interface as depicted in the line Adjacent with neighbor 172.16.1.2.
