    Introduction
    The purpose of this exercise is to learn how to configure OSPF on a group
    of Cisco routers so that they exchange network reachability information and
    maintain their own routing tables dynamically.
    All participants will work within a group as a team. Each group has three routers
    and four switches to work with. There is a certain dependency between the
    labs as the exercises progress. Make sure to maintain your configuration unless
    otherwise instructed. All exercises will use a common IP addressing scheme
    and network topology. As you go through the exercises all the examples are
    given from the point of view of R11, the border router in group 1. Make sure
    to take the examples and adapt them to your own router, network
    topology and addressing scheme.

    Router types used in the lab

    Cisco 7206 VXR

    Address Space Allocation

    Group IPv4 Block IPv6 Block

    1 10.1.0.0/16 fd00:1::/32
    2 10.2.0.0/16 fd00:2::/32
    3 10.3.0.0/16 fd00:3::/32
    4 10.4.0.0/16 fd00:4::/32
    5 10.5.0.0/16 fd00:5::/32

    Each group will then further partition their space like this:

    IPv4 IPv6 Description

    10.X.1.0/24 fd00:X:1:1::/64 Core Network


    10.X.64.0/24 fd00:X:2:64::/64 Data Subnet (VLAN 64)
    10.X.65.0/24 fd00:X:2:65::/64 VOIP Subnet (VLAN 65)
    10.X.254.0/24 fd00:X:0:FE::/64 Router Loopback Subnet
    10.X.255.0/24 fd00:X:0:FF::/64 Switch MGMT Subnet (VLAN 255)

    With X being your group number (1,2,3,4,5)

    Exercises

    Basic Router Configuration

    Configure each router based on the following example for R11:

    hostname R11
    !
    aaa new-model
    aaa authentication login default local
    aaa authentication enable default enable
    username nsrc secret nsrc
    enable secret nsrc
    service password-encryption
    line vty 0 4
    transport preferred none
    line console 0
    transport preferred none
    !
    no logging console
    logging buffered 8192 debugging
    no ip domain-lookup
    ipv6 unicast-routing

    Interface Configuration

    Configure each router’s interface according to the diagram (where X represents


    your group):
    RX1: use Y=1

    interface loopback 0
    ip address 10.X.254.Y 255.255.255.255
    ipv6 address fd00:X:0:fe::Y/128
    !
    interface GigabitEthernet1/0
    ip address 10.X.1.Y 255.255.255.0
    description Link to Core
    ipv6 address fd00:X:1:1::Y/64
    no ip redirects
    no ip directed-broadcast

    5
    no ip proxy-arp
    no shutdown

    Use address .2 for RX2 and .3 for RX3.


    On the access side, where you will use VLANs:
    RX2:

    interface Fast0/0
    no ip address
    no shutdown
    !
    interface Fast0/0.64
    encapsulation dot1Q 64
    ip address 10.X.64.2 255.255.255.0
    description Link VLAN 64
    ipv6 enable
    ipv6 address fd00:X:2:64::2/64
    no ip redirects
    no ip directed-broadcast
    no ip proxy-arp
    no shutdown

    Do the same for VLANs 65 and 255.


    RX3:

    interface Fast0/0
    no ip address
    no shutdown
    !
    interface Fast0/0.64
    encapsulation dot1Q 64
    ip address 10.X.64.3 255.255.255.0
    description Link VLAN 64
    ipv6 enable
    ipv6 address fd00:X:2:64::3/64
    no ip redirects
    no ip directed-broadcast
    no ip proxy-arp
    no shutdown

    Do the same for VLANs 65 and 255.

    6
    Testing Connectivity

    Ping your neighbor routers:

    R11# ping 10.X.1.2


    R11# ping 10.X.1.3
    R11# ping fd00:X:1:1::2
    R11# ping fd00:X:1:1::3

    And verify the output of the following commands:

    show arp : Shows ARP cache


    show interface <int> : Shows interface state and configuration
    show ip interface : Shows interface IP state and config
    show ipv6 neighbors : Shows IPv6 neighbors
    show ipv6 interface <int> : Shows interface state and configuration
    show ipv6 interface : Shows interface state and configuration

    Now try pinging these other addresses in your network:

    R11# ping 10.X.254.2


    R11# ping 10.X.254.3
    R11# ping 10.X.64.2
    R11# ping 10.X.64.3
    R11# ping 10.X.65.2
    R11# ping 10.X.65.3
    R11# ping 10.X.255.2
    R11# ping 10.X.255.3
    R11# ping ipv6 fd00:X:0:FE::2
    R11# ping ipv6 fd00:X:0:FE::3
    R11# ping ipv6 fd00:X:2:64::2
    R11# ping ipv6 fd00:X:2:64::3
    R11# ping ipv6 fd00:X:2:65::2
    R11# ping ipv6 fd00:X:2:65::3
    R11# ping ipv6 fd00:X:0:FF::2
    R11# ping ipv6 fd00:X:0:FF::3

    What is happening? Why can we not ping some of the addresses?

    Dynamic Routing with OSPF

    1. Configure a new OSPF routing process and configure OSPF on the in-
    terfaces where adjacencies need to be established, and also on any
    interface that needs to have its subnets advertised by OSPF.

    7
    In the case of R12 and R13, this includes the sub-interfaces for VLANs 64, 65
    and 255. Notice that we are configuring authentication for the OSPF adjacencies.
    This is important.
    Notice that we will use the number “10” as the OSPF process number for routers
    R11, R12 and R13. This number is local to the router, so it doesn’t need to
    match the process number of a neighboring router. However, it is strongly
    recommended that you use the same number throughout your network. Most
    people use their Autonomous System number (although OSPF has nothing to
    do with the BGP AS).
    R11:

    router ospf 10
    log-adjacency-changes
    passive-interface default
    area 0 authentication message-digest
    no passive-interface GigabitEthernet1/0
    auto-cost reference-bandwidth 1000
    !
    ipv6 router ospf 10
    log-adjacency-changes
    passive-interface default
    no passive-interface GigabitEthernet1/0
    area 0 authentication ipsec spi 256 md5 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF
    auto-cost reference-bandwidth 1000
    !
    interface Loopback0
    ip ospf 10 area 0
    ipv6 ospf 10 area 0
    !
    interface GigabitEthernet1/0
    ip ospf 10 area 0
    ip ospf authentication-key nsrc
    ipv6 ospf 10 area 0

    2. STOP – Checkpoint.

    show ip ospf neighbor : show adjacencies


    show ip route : show routes in routing table
    show ip ospf : shows general OSPF information
    show ip ospf interface : shows the status of OSPF in an interface
    show ipv6 ospf neighbor
    show ipv6 route
    show ipv6 ospf
    show ipv6 ospf interface

    8
    a. How many routes do you have on R11 for each access network?
    b. Is there a preferred path? Why?

    Using OSPF Cost

    Load balance the traffic for the different access networks by using OSPF link
    costs.

    a. Check each interface’s cost:

    R12#show ip ospf interface Fast0/0.64

    b. If you did the Layer-2 exercises and used PVST to load balance traffic
    for the different VLANs, make sure that you assign OSPF link costs
    accordingly to avoid unnecessary hops.

    Hint: You need to make the cost lower than the current cost on the path that
    you want the router to prefer, and higher on the path that you want the router
    to NOT prefer.
    R12:

    interface Fast0/0.64
    ip ospf cost 5
    ipv6 ospf cost 5
    !
    interface Fast0/0.65
    ip ospf cost 5
    ipv6 ospf cost 5
    !
    interface Fast0/0.255
    ip ospf cost 15
    ipv6 ospf cost 15

    Verify the routing table in R11:

    R11# show ip route ospf
