• Objectives
Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings
Part 2: Configure and Verify OSPFv3 Routing
Part 3: Configure OSPFv3 Passive Interfaces

• Background / Scenario
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link-state routing protocol for IP networks. OSPFv2 is defined
for IPv4 networks, and OSPFv3 is defined for IPv6 networks.
In this lab, you will configure the network topology with OSPFv3 routing, assign router IDs, configure
passive interfaces, and use a number of CLI commands to display and verify OSPFv3 routing
information.
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 the 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.

• Required Resources
• 3 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)
• 3 PCs (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)
• Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
• Ethernet and serial cables as shown in the topology

• Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings

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

• Cable the network as shown in the topology.

• Initialize and reload the routers as necessary.

• Configure basic settings for each router.

• Disable DNS lookup.
• Configure device name as shown in the topology.
• Assign class as the privileged EXEC password.
• Assign cisco as the vty password.
• Configure a MOTD banner to warn users that unauthorized access is prohibited.
• Configure logging synchronous for the console line.
• Encrypt plain text passwords.
• Configure the IPv6 unicast and link-local addresses listed in the Addressing Table for all
interfaces.
• Enable IPv6 unicast routing on each router.
• Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.

• Configure PC hosts.

• Test connectivity.
The routers should be able to ping one another, and each PC should be able to ping its default
gateway. The PCs are unable to ping other PCs until OSPFv3 routing is configured. Verify and
troubleshoot if necessary.

• Configure OSPFv3 Routing

In Part 2, you will configure OSPFv3 routing on all routers in the network and then verify that routing
tables are updated correctly.

• Assign router IDs.

OSPFv3 continues to use a 32 bit address for the router ID. Because there are no IPv4 addresses
configured on the routers, you will manually assign the router ID using the router-id command.
 • Issue the ipv6 router ospf command to start an OSPFv3 process to 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.
• Assign the OSPFv3 router ID 1.1.1.1 to the R1.
R1(config-rtr)# router-id 1.1.1.1
• Start the OSPFv3 routing process and assign a router ID of 2.2.2.2 to R2 and a router ID of
3.3.3.3 to R3.
• 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>

• Configure OSPFv6 on R1.

With IPv6, it is common to have multiple IPv6 addresses configured on an interface. The network
statement has been eliminated in OSPFv3. OSPFv3 routing is enabled at the interface level instead.
• Issue the ipv6 ospf 1 area 0 command for each interface on R1 that is to participate in OSPFv3
routing.
R1(config)# interface g0/0
R1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf 1 area 0
R1(config-if)# interface s0/0/0
R1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf 1 area 0
R1(config-if)# interface s0/0/1
R1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf 1 area 0
Note: The process ID must match the process ID you used in Step1a.
• Assign the interfaces on R2 and R3 to OSPFv3 area 0. You should see neighbor adjacency
messages display when adding the interfaces to area 0.

• Verify OSPFv3 neighbors.

Issue the show ipv6 ospf neighbor command to verify that the router has formed an adjacency with
its neighboring routers. If the router ID of the neighboring router is not displayed, or if its state does
not show as FULL, the two routers have not formed an OSPF adjacency.
R1# show ipv6 ospf neighbor

• Verify OSPFv3 protocol settings.

The show ipv6 protocols command is a quick way to verify vital OSPFv3 configuration information,
including the OSPF process ID, the router ID, and the interfaces enabled for OSPFv3.
R1# show ipv6 protocols

What command would you use to only see the OSPF routes in the routing table?
show ipv6 route ospf

• Verify end-to-end connectivity.

Each PC should be able to ping the other PCs in the topology. Verify and troubleshoot if necessary.
Note: It may be necessary to disable the PC firewall to ping between PCs.

• Configure OSPFv3 Passive Interfaces

The passive-interface command prevents routing updates from being sent through the specified
router interface. This is commonly done to reduce traffic on the LANs as they do not need to receive
dynamic routing protocol communication. In Part 3, you will use the passive-interface command to
configure a single interface as passive. You will also configure OSPFv3 so that all interfaces on the
router are passive by default, and then enable OSPF routing advertisements on selected interfaces.

• Configure a passive interface.

• Issue the show ipv6 ospf interface g0/0 command on R1. Notice the timer indicating when the
next Hello packet is expected. Hello packets are sent every 10 seconds and are used between
OSPF routers to verify that their neighbors are up.
R1# show ipv6 ospf interface g0/0

• Issue the passive-interface command to change the G0/0 interface on R1 to passive.
R1(config)# ipv6 router ospf 1
R1(config-rtr)# passive-interface g0/0
• Re-issue the show ipv6 ospf interface g0/0 command to verify that G0/0 is now passive.

• Set passive interface as the default on the router.

• Issue the passive-interface default command on R2 to set the default for all OSPFv3 interfaces
as passive.
R2(config)# ipv6 router ospf 1
 R2(config-rtr)# passive-interface default
• Issue the show ipv6 ospf neighbor command on R1. After the dead timer expires, R2 is no
longer listed as an OSPF neighbor.

• If all OSPFv3 interfaces on R2 are passive, then no routing information is being advertised. If this
is the case, then R1 and R3 should no longer have a route to the 2001:DB8:ACAD:B::/64
network. You can verify this by using the show ipv6 route command.
• Change S0/0/1 on R2 by issuing the no passive-interface command, so that it sends and
receives OSPFv3 routing updates. After entering this command, an informational message
displays stating that a neighbor adjacency has been established with R3.
R2(config)# ipv6 router ospf 1
R2(config-rtr)# no passive-interface s0/0/1

• Re-issue the show ipv6 route and show ipv6 ospf neighbor commands on R1 and R3, and
look for a route to the 2001:DB8:ACAD:B::/64 network.
What interface is R1 using to route to the 2001:DB8:ACAD:B::/64 network? ______
• S0/0/1
What is the accumulated cost metric for the 2001:DB8:ACAD:B::/64 network on R1? _______
• 129
Does R2 show up as an OSPFv3 neighbor on R1? ________
• no
Does R2 show up as an OSPFv3 neighbor on R3? ________
 • yes
What does this information tell you?
• All traffic to the 2001:DB8:ACAD:B::/64 network from R1 will be routed through R3.
• On R2, issue the no passive-interface S0/0/0 command to allow OSPFv3 routing updates to be
advertised on that interface.
• Verify that R1 and R2 are now OSPFv3 neighbors.

• Reflection
• If the OSPFv6 configuration for R1 had a process ID of 1, and the OSPFv3 configuration for R2 had a
process ID of 2, ca Yes. The OSPFv3 process ID is only used locally on the routern routing
information be exchanged between the two routers? Why?
• Yes. Because OSPFv3 process ID is only used locally on the router.

• What may have been the reasoning for removing the network command in OSPFv3?
• It helps prevent IPv6 address typo errors

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.
