Single-area OSPFv2

Three routers in a triangle: set router IDs, form OSPF adjacencies, make LAN ports passive and advertise a default route.

About 30 minutes 5 devices 7 tasksIntermediate

Scenario

R1, R2 and R3 are connected in a triangle and every interface is addressed and up. R2 is the internet edge: it already has a default route towards the internet (Loopback1, 203.0.113.2, stands in for it). Run OSPF process 1 in area 0 on all three routers so every network is reachable, with fixed router IDs, no OSPF hellos sent towards the PCs, and R2 advertising its default route to the others.

Your tasks

  1. Run OSPF process 1 on each router with router IDs 1.1.1.1 (R1), 2.2.2.2 (R2) and 3.3.3.3 (R3).
  2. All three router-to-router links form FULL OSPF adjacencies in area 0.
  3. Advertise both PC LANs, but stop OSPF hellos on R1 Gi0/2 and R3 Gi0/2.
  4. R2 advertises its default route into OSPF; R1 and R3 learn it.
  5. R1 reaches PC3's LAN directly over the R1–R3 link (lowest cost), not through R2.
  6. PC1 can ping PC3.
  7. PC1 can ping the internet address 203.0.113.2.

The lab checks the result, not the exact commands. For example, a ping task passes only when the ping really succeeds through the network you built.
