Lab Overview

  • Basic OSPF configurations in a small network
  • Comparison to Day 25's EIGRP configuration lab
  • Steps 2 and 3: focus on configuring loopback interfaces and OSPF
  • Pre-configured Step 1 (hostnames and IP addresses) off-camera

Configuring Loopback and OSPF (Example: R4)

Steps on R4:

  1. Enter privileged exec mode: ENABLE
  2. Enter global configuration mode: CONF T
  3. Configure loopback interface: INTERFACE L0
  4. Assign IP address to loopback: IP ADDRESS 4.4.4.4 255.255.255.255
  5. Verify interface creation: DO SHOW IP INTERFACE BRIEF and DO SHOW INTERFACE L0

Configure OSPF on R4:

  1. Enter OSPF configuration: ROUTER OSPF 4
  2. Enable OSPF on all interfaces: NETWORK 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 AREA 0
  3. Configure passive interfaces: PASSIVE-INTERFACE G0/0 and PASSIVE-INTERFACE L0

Configurations on Other Routers

R3:

  1. Enable mode and global config: ENABLE and CONF T
  2. Configure loopback: INTERFACE L0 and IP ADDRESS 3.3.3.3 255.255.255.255
  3. Configure OSPF with process ID 3
  4. Enable OSPF on specific interfaces:
    • NETWORK 10.0.13.2 0.0.0.0 AREA 0
    • NETWORK 10.0.34.1 0.0.0.0 AREA 0
    • NETWORK 3.3.3.3 0.0.0.0 AREA 0
  5. Configure passive interface: PASSIVE-INTERFACE L0

R2:

  1. Enable mode and global config: ENABLE and CONF T
  2. Configure loopback: INTERFACE L0 and IP ADDRESS 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255
  3. Configure OSPF with process ID 2
  4. Enable OSPF on interfaces with a single command: NETWORK 10.0.0.0 0.0.255.255 AREA 0
  5. Configure loopback: NETWORK 2.2.2.2 0.0.0.0 AREA 0
  6. Configure passive interface: PASSIVE-INTERFACE L0

R1:

  1. Enable mode and global config: ENABLE and CONF T
  2. Configure loopback: INTERFACE L0 and IP ADDRESS 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255
  3. Configure OSPF with process ID 1
  4. Enable OSPF on specific interfaces:
    • NETWORK 10.0.12.0 0.0.0.3 AREA 0
    • NETWORK 10.0.13.0 0.0.0.3 AREA 0
    • NETWORK 1.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 AREA 0
  5. Configure passive interface: PASSIVE-INTERFACE L0

Advertising Default Route (R1)

  1. Advertise default route: DEFAULT-INFORMATION ORIGINATE
  2. Configure default route: IP ROUTE 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 203.0.113.2
  3. Verify configuration: SHOW IP PROTOCOLS

OSPF Show Commands (R1)

  1. View LSDB: SHOW IP OSPF DATABASE
  2. View OSPF neighbors: SHOW IP OSPF NEIGHBOR
  3. View OSPF interface details: SHOW IP OSPF INTERFACE

Verifying Routing Tables

  • Default routes in routing tables of R2, R3, and R4
  • Load balancing in R4: Both paths added

Additional Lab Preview (Boson NetSim)

Lab Setup:

  1. Verify initial configurations (IP addresses, interface state)
  2. Ping tests for connectivity
  3. Plan for OSPF: Use Area 0 and specific network commands
  4. Configure and verify OSPF in NetSim
