Lab - Configuring OSFPv2 Advanced Features
Background / Scenario
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) has advanced features to allow changes to be made to control metrics,
default route propagation, and security.
In this lab, you will adjust OSPF metrics on the router interfaces, configure OSPF route propagation, and use
Message Digest 5 (MD5) authentication to secure OSPF 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.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.
Required Resources
3 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)
2 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

b. Issue the show ip route ospf command to verify that all OSPF networks are present in the routing table
on all routers.

D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route

b. Re-issue the show ip ospf interface brief command to view how this command has changed cost
values.
R1# show ip ospf interface brief
Interface PID Area IP Address/Mask Cost State Nbrs F/C
Se0/0/1 1 0 192.168.13.1/30 7812 P2P 0/0
Se0/0/0 1 0 192.168.12.1/30 7812 P2P 0/0
Gi0/0 1 0 192.168.1.1/24 1 DR 0/0
Note: If the router had Fast Ethernet interfaces instead of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, then the cost would
now be 10 on those interfaces.

b. Apply the ip ospf cost 16000 command to the S0/0/1 interface on R1. A cost of 16,000 is higher than the
accumulated cost of the route through R2 which is 15,624.
R1(config)# int s0/0/1
R1(config-if)# ip ospf cost 16000
c. Issue the show ip ospf interface brief command on R1 to view the cost change to S0/0/1.
R1# show ip ospf interface brief
Interface PID Area IP Address/Mask Cost State Nbrs F/C
Se0/0/1 1 0 192.168.13.1/30 16000 P2P 1/1
Se0/0/0 1 0 192.168.12.1/30 7812 P2P 1/1
Gi0/0 1 0 192.168.1.1/24 1 DR 0/0
d. Re-issue the show ip route ospf command on R1 to display the effect this change has made on the
routing table. All OSPF routes for R1 are now being routed through R2.
R1# show ip route ospf
Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route, H - NHRP, l - LISP
+ - replicated route, % - next hop override
Explain why the route to the 192.168.3.0/24 network on R1 is now going through R2?

OSPF will choose the route with the least accumulated cost. The route with the lowest accumulated cost is:
R1-S0/0/0 + R2-S0/0/1 + R3-G0/0, or 7812 + 7812 + 1 = 15,625. This metric is smaller than the accumulated
cost of R1-S0/0/1 + R3-G0/0, or 16,000 + 1 = 16,001.

c. Verify end-to-end connectivity by issuing a ping from PC-A to the ISP interface address 209.165.200.225.
Were the pings successful? ________________ Yes
d. Issue the u all command, which is the shortest version of the undebug all command on R2 to disable
debugging.
e. Configure OSPF authentication on R2, interface S0/0/0. Use the same MD5 password you entered for
R1.
f. Issue a show ip ospf interface s0/0/0 command on R2. This command displays the type of
authentication at the bottom of the output.
R2# show ip ospf interface s0/0/0
Serial0/0/0 is up, line protocol is up

d. Set up area authentication on R3 and assign the same MD5 password to interface S0/0/0.
R3(config)# router ospf 1
R3(config-router)# area 0 authentication message-digest
R3(config-router)# interface s0/0/0
R3(config-if)# ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 MD5KEY
e. Issue the show ip ospf neighbor command on R3. Notice that R1 is now showing as a neighbor, but R2
is missing.
R3# show ip ospf neighbor

Reflection
1. What is the easiest and preferred method of manipulating OSPF route costs?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Using the ip ospf cost command overrides the cost calculation completely and sets the link cost to the
desired amount.
2. What does the default-information originate command do for a network using the OSPF routing protocol?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
The default-information originate command is used to inject a default route into an OSPF area which will
propagate the default route to other OSPF routers.
3. Why is it a good idea to use OSPF authentication?

Routing protocols are used to exchange reachability information between routers. Routing information learned
from peers is used to determine the next hop toward the destination. To route traffic correctly, it is necessary
to prevent malicious or incorrect routing information from being introduced into the routing table. You should
enable authentication in OSPF in order to exchange routing information in a secure manner.

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.
