Lab 4: Advanced OSPF Configuration: Activity Objective

This document provides instructions for configuring advanced OSPF features including multi-area OSPF, route summarization, and authentication on routers R1 through R4. The key steps are to: 1. Reconfigure the OSPF areas to setup a multi-area topology with areas 12, 25 and backbone area 0. 2. Tune the OSPF configuration to prefer the route to 128.213.130.0/27 through R4 over R3 and enable equal cost load balancing. 3. Summarize the 10.1.1.0/24 subnet at R4 to reduce routing table sizes. 4. Configure R3 to only advertise the default route

Lab 4: Advanced OSPF Confi gurati on

Activity Objective
Start with configurations from Lab 3. In this activity, you will use the correct commands,
tools, and steps to configure and verify advanced OSPF operation including multiarea
OSPF, summarization, and authentication.
Delete all EIGRP configuration from R1 and R2 before beginning this lab.

Step 1: Reconfigure Areas for MultiArea OSPF IPv4

Backbone 0 will remain on routers R3 and R4. Reconfigure all interfaces on R2 to be in
area 25. R4 will have two interfaces in area 25, R3 will have one. Reconfigure all
interfaces on R1 to be in area 12 and reconfigure the one interface on R3 into area 12
per diagram.
Verify that the proper OSPF adjacencies have been set up .Verify the OSPF link-state
database.
Verify the IP routing table and that you have all routes in OSPF and all routers and
networks on R1-R4 area reachable from each other.
There is a problem with the topology in which some redundancy is lost. Identify the
problem and propose/implement a solution.
Step 2: Tune OSPF Operation

On R2 verify that it is learning the route for 128.213.130.0/27 from both R3 and R4 via
OSPF and preferring route via R4. Why is it preferring route via R4? Manipulate
OSPF so route is preferred via R3 and R4 with equal cost load sharing.

Step 3: Summarize Routes

On R4 configure a summary route for 10.1.1.0/24 in OSPF. Verify this is in the OSPF
topology database and routing table on all OSPF devices. Hint how this is done
depends on where you are summarizing to different areas, same area, etc..
Step 4: BGP

R3 should be learning a default route via BGP from a previous lab. If you had R3
originating default via OSPF remove that. Configure R3 so that it will only announce
default if it receives it via BGP. Verify this by shutting down the BGP session and
verify default withdrawn. Bring back up.
Verify that routers R1 R4 can all ping 172.16.1.1.
Step 5: Stub Area

Reconfigure area 12 as a stub area. What changes on routers R1 and R3 when this
change is made in the OSPF topology table and routing table? What is needs to that R1
still has full connectivity as it did before? Make this change.
Step 6: OSPF Authentication

Configure OSPF authentication using shared secret on area 25.
