0. CCNA Exam Questions

  1. Why do we need OSPF?
    • Ans: 2 reasons: To enter other networks, to resolve non-directly connected network

10. Dynamic Roututing

10.3 OSPF

10.3.6 Interface and OSPF network types

 Ethernet interfaces (e.g. f0/0, g0/0, …)Serial Interfaces (e.g. s0/0/0)
Commonly used inLAN/WANUsually WAN (leased line)
Layer 2 protocols(s)EthernetHDLC/ PPP (Both are out syll)
Default OSPF Network type (Default is changable)BroadcastPoint-to-point
  • 2 ways of configuring OSPF network:

10.3.7 OSPF Versioning

Under format RFC2328, most OSPF is version 2 (v2). But version 2 only supports IPv4. This tech is from the late 90s
If we have OSPF version 3 (v3) (specified in RFC5340) will support IPv6.

10.4 Configuring OSPF Broadcast on Cicso Router

  • Let’s look at the topology:
  • Note: OSPF Area 0 is the backbone, only a single area.

  • Recall how to determine BR and BDR:
    • step 1: OSPF pirority 0 / 1
    • step 2: OSPF Highest Router ID
  • Recall how to determine Router ID:
    • No pre-set router id, verify with do sh run
    • No loopback int on g0/1, g0/0
    • highest physical IP: Router 1 = 192.168.1.1
  • Router 1 setup ```bash en conf t hostname Router1

int g0/1 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 no shut

int g0/0 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 no shut

end


- Router 2 setup (Please note OSPF number is unique to it's own device. Different regions don't interfere w/ each other.)
```bash
en
conf t
hostname Router2

int g0/1
ip address 172.16.0.2 255.255.0.0
no shut

int g0/0
ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
no shut

end
  • Router 2 ``` conf t router ospf 1 network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0 network 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 0

```

  • Note 1: ospf # must specify a number, but this number can be user defined/ random
  • Note 2: Defining g0/1 so it can broadcast to other networks
  • The end goal is this:
  • Code explaination:
    • router ospf 1 = turns on ospf w/ process number 1 (For CISCO IOS the range must be 1-65535)

SIMULATION 3: LAB

  • Topology Diagram:
  • We have a set of tasks and instructions…
    • Instructions:
      • OSPF and IP connections are pre-configured
      • Do not change IP and Do not change OSPF
      • For this setup, all next hops and connected interfaces are used to configure static routes
      • only exceptions are for load balancing or redudancy without floating static
      • Connection must be established between subnet 172.20.20.128/25 & LAN at 192.168.0.0/24 (Basically LAN and Internet needs to be connected)
    • Tasks:
      • Task 1: Connect SW1 LAN subnet in R2 (Router2)
        • Solution: make a static route
        • Recall: ip route <destination network> <network masking> <gateway address>/<outgoing address>
        • That outgoing address = next-hop-IP-to-SW1 : “Replace next-hop-IP-to-SW1” with the IP address of the interface on R2 that connects to SW1, or the IP of SW1 itself if it’s Layer 3 capable.
        •   en
            conf t
            ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.31.1
            copy run start
          
        • Destination network for LAN is 192.168.0.0 since for E0/1 it’s 192.168.0.1 (with a dot 1 notation)
        • Network masking is /24: hence it’s 255.255.255.0
        • outgoing address (on switch side?): we’re leaving through E0/0 without a doubt from R2. Hence the ip should be 10.10.31.1
      • Task 2: Connect Internet subnet to R1 Router
        • Solution: Setting default route and default gateway
        • Recall: 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 = default route. 10.10.13.3 = default gateway
        • Do these on R1
            en
            conf t
            ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.13.3
            copy run start
          
        • 10.10.13.3 = default gateway since 10.10.13.0 is what R1 sees and .3 is the notation R2 receives
      • Task 3: Make a single static route in R2 to Internet subnet. Factor in redudancy links between R1 and R2. R2 default route is NOT ALLOWED.
        • Solution: First check OSPF and setup static route
        • Recall: sh ip route to view a partial routing table
        • Do these on R2
            en
            sh ip route
          
          o       10.10.1.1/32 [110/11] via 10.10.12.129, 00:43:32, Ethernet0/2
                               [110/11] via 10.10.12.1, 00:43:32, Ethernet 0/1
        

        Means that an OSPF to 10.10.1.1/32 load balancing w/ outgoing interfaces E0/2 and E0/1 already exist in R2 routing table

          conf t
          ip route 172.20.20.128 255.255.255.128 10.10.1.1 ???
          end
          copy run start
        

        or ip route 172.20.20.128 255.255.255.128 e0/2 and ip route 172.20.20.128 255.255.255.128 e0/1s

      • Task 4: Make a static route in R1 to Switch LAN subnet. Primary link must be E0/1, backup link must be E0/2 via floating route. Change AD/ Administractive distance if needed.
        • Solution: Check ip route and setup AD route, no need to set floating static route
        • Recall:
        • Do these on R1
            en
            sh ip route
          
          o       192.168.0.0/24 [110/20] via 10.10.12.130, 00:01:08, Ethernet0/2
        
          conf t
          ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.12.2
          end
          copy run start
        

        or maybe ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 e0/1

SIMULATION 15: LAB

  • Topology Diagram:
  • Description:
    • Physical Cables are in place
    • R4 and C1 are fully configured and cannot be accessed
    • R4 LAN interface use .4 in last octet for each subnet
    • Need to establish connection e2e
  • Tasks:
    • Task 1: Setup static routing to ensure R1 piroritize path to R2 to reach only PC1 on R4’s LAN
      • Ans: PC1 is the host route. Do these on R1, then on R2
      • Note: 10.0.41.10 is the computer IP
          en
          conf t
          ip route 10.0.41.10 255.255.255.255 e0/0
          end
          copy run start
        
        en
        conf t
        ip route 10.0.41.10 255.255.255.255 10.0.24.4
        end
        copy run start
      
    • Task 2: Setup static routing to ensure R1 traffic will take another path through R3 to PC1 during outage
      • Answer: Do these on R1, then R3
          en
          conf t
          ip route 10.0.41.10 255.255.255.255 e0/1 2
          end
          copy run start
        
      • The extra 2 at the end refers to AD = 2. Also this is the primary route

      • Answer: Do these on R1, then R3
          en
          conf t
          ip route 10.0.41.10 255.255.255.255 10.0.34.4
          end
          copy run start
        
    • Task 3: Setup default routes on R1 and R3 to internet while minimizing hops
      • Answer: Do these on R1, then R3
          en
          conf t
          ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 e0/1
          end
          copy run start
        
        en
        conf t
        ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 209.165.201.1
        end
        copy run start
