Lab Overview

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) Configuration

• Objective: Configure and troubleshoot OSPF.
• Steps:
  1. Configure Serial Connection between R1 & R2:
     • R1 to configure S0/0/0 with IP 192.168.12.1.
     • Set clock rate to 128 kilobits on R1 (DCE end).
     • R2 to configure S0/0/0 with IP 192.168.12.2.
  2. Enable OSPF on Interfaces:
     • R2: Enable OSPF on S0/0/0.
     • R1: Enable OSPF on interfaces S0/0/0 and G0/0.
  3. Check Interfaces:
     • Default Hello and Dead timers.
     • No DR or BDR on point-to-point network types.
  4. Verify OSPF Routes on R1:
     • R1 learns routes to 192.168.34.0/30 and 192.168.245.0/29.

Troubleshooting

• Step 2:

  • Issue: Only R3 has route to 10.0.2.0/24.
  • Solution: Check for OSPF adjacency between R3 and R4.
  • Problem Found: Mismatched network types on R3 and R4.
  • Action: Remove point-to-point setting on R3.

• Step 3:

  • Issue: R2 and R4 not forming OSPF neighbors with R5.
  • Solution: Check timer mismatches on interfaces.
  • Action: Reset R5’s timer to default to form neighbor relationships.

• PC1 and PC2 Connectivity Issue to External Server (8.8.8.8):

  • Check if R5 is advertising default route.
  • Problem Found: No default route configured on R5.
  • Action: Add default route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 203.0.113.2 on R5.

• Verify LSDB (Link State Database):

  • Check Type 1, 2, and 5 LSAs to ensure proper OSPF functioning.

Boson NetSim Lab Review

• Objective: Test OSPF configuration commands.
• Task Breakdown:
  1. Configure R1 and R2 settings, ensuring DCE/DTE roles.
  2. Ensure interconnectivity by verifying routing tables.
  3. Configure OSPF with process ID 1 and area 0.
  4. Verify inter-device connectivity through ping.
  5. Grade lab to ensure correct configuration.
