Objectives
Part 1: Configure Basic Device Settings
Part 2: Configure and Verify OSPF Routing
Part 3: Change OSPF Metrics
Part 4: Configure and Propagate a Static Default Route

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 and configure OSPF route propagation.
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.

Required Resources
• 3 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)
• 2 PCs (Windows 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

Part 1: Configure Basic Device Settings

In Part 1, you will configure basic settings on the PC hosts and routers.

Lab - Configuring OSFPv2 Advanced Features

Step 1: Configure basic settings for each router.

a. Disable DNS lookup.
b. Configure device name as shown in the topology.
c. Assign class as the privileged EXEC password.
d. Assign cisco as the console and vty passwords.
e. Encrypt the plaintext passwords.
f. Configure a MOTD banner to warn users that unauthorized access is prohibited.
g. Configure logging synchronous for the console line.
h. Configure the IP addresses listed in the Addressing Table for all interfaces.
i. Set the clock rate for all DCE serial interfaces at 128000.
j. Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.

Step 2: Configure PC hosts.

Refer to the Addressing Table for PC host address information.

Step 3: Test connectivity.

At this point, the PCs are unable to ping each other. However, the routers should be able to ping the directly
connected neighbor interfaces, and the PCs should be able to ping their default gateway. Verify and
troubleshoot if necessary.

Part 2: Configure and Verify OSPF Routing

In Part 2, you will configure OSPFv2 routing on all routers in the network and then verify that routing tables
are updated correctly.

Step 1: Configure the router ID on all routers.

Assign 1 as the process ID for this OSPF process. Each router should be given the following router ID
assignments:
• R1 Router ID: 1.1.1.1
• R2 Router ID: 2.2.2.2
• R3 Router ID: 3.3.3.3

Step 2: Configure OSPF network information on the routers.

Step 3: Verify OSPF routing.

a. Issue the show ip ospf neighbor command to verify that each router is listing the other routers in the
network.
b. Issue the show ip route ospf command to verify that all OSPF networks are present in the routing tables
on all routers.

Step 4: Test end-to-end connectivity.

Ping PC-C from PC-A to verify end-to-end connectivity. The pings should be successful. If they are not,
troubleshoot as necessary.

Lab - Configuring OSFPv2 Advanced Features

Note: It may be necessary to disable the PC firewall for the pings to be successful.

Part 3: Change OSPF Metrics

In Part 3, you will change OSPF metrics using the bandwidth command, the auto-cost reference-
bandwidth command, and the ip ospf cost command. Making these changes will provide more accurate
metrics to OSPF.
Note: All DCE interfaces should have been configured with a clocking rate of 128000 in Part 1, Step 3.,
substep i.

Step 1: Change the bandwidth on all serial interfaces to 128Kb/s.

a. Issue the show ip ospf interface brief command to view the default cost settings on the
router interfaces.
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 64 P2P 1/1
Se0/0/0 1 0 192.168.12.1/30 64 P2P 1/1
Gi0/0 1 0 192.168.1.1/24 1 DR 0/0

b. Use the bandwidth 128 interface command on all serial interfaces.

c. Issue the show ip ospf interface brief command to view the new cost settings.
R1# show ip ospf interface brief
Interface PID Area IP Address/Mask Cost State Nbrs F/C
Se0/0/1 1 0 192.168.13.1/30 781 P2P 1/1
Se0/0/0 1 0 192.168.12.1/30 781 P2P 1/1
Gi0/0 1 0 192.168.1.1/24 1 DR 0/0

Step 2: Change the reference bandwidth on the routers.

a. Issue the auto-cost reference-bandwidth 1000 command on the routers to change the default reference
bandwidth setting to account for Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces.
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.

Step 3: Change the route cost.

a. Issue the show ip route ospf command to display the current OSPF routes on R1. Notice that there are
currently two routes in the table that use the S0/0/1 interface.
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

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.
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

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.

O 192.168.23.0 [110/15624] via 192.168.12.2, 01:14:02, Serial0/0/0

Explain why the route to the 192.168.3.0/24 network on R1 is now going through R2?

Part 4: Configure and Propagate a Static Default Route

In Part 4, you will use a loopback interface on R2 to simulate an ISP connection to the Internet. You will
create a static default route on R2, and then OSPF will propagate that route to the other two routers on
the network.

Lab - Configuring OSFPv2 Advanced Features

Step 1: Configure a static default route on R2 to loopback 0.

Configure a default route using the loopback interface configured in Part 1, to simulate a connection to
an ISP.

Step 2: Have OSPF propagate the default static route.

Issue the default-information originate command to include the static default route in the OSPF updates
that are sent from R2.
R2(config)# router ospf 1 R2(config-router)#
default-information originate

Step 3: Verify OSPF static route propagation.

a. Issue the show ip route static command on R2.
R2# show ip route static
Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP D -
EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area

+ - replicated route, % - next hop override

b. Issue the show ip route command on R1 to verify the propagation of the static route from R2.

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.
