OSPF Lab #2 Tasks
May 19th
This is the second OSPF post I’ll be doing for CCIE lab preparation. Today I’m posting the tasks, then tomorrow or the day after (or possibly after the weekend, depending how busy I am) I’ll post the walkthrough. If any of you work on this before the walkthrough, leave a comment.
Here’s the topology:

Here are the tasks:
1. Configure R1, R2 and R3′s S0/0 interfaces in Area 0. Ensure that DR and BDR are elected. Advertise all loopback0s on all routers into OSPF.
2. Configure R1 as the default gateway for all OSPF routers. Do not use the “default-information” command.
3. Configure R6 to use the path through R4 to get to area 0 Do not use any interface level commands to accomplish this.
4. Configure R4 to filter any type 3, 4, 5 and 7 LSAs from entering area 45.
Quick BGP Challenge #1
May 12th
This is the first little challenge I’m posting on here. If you frequent the forums, you likely saw the one I had for OSPF. I thought of another challenge while talking to a buddy. Here’s the topology:

Make R1 prefer the path through R3 for the 192.168.1.0/24 network. The configuration must be on R1. Do not use Weight or Local Preference to accomplish this. Assume that all previous configuration is correct.
This one is a little different than the OSPF challenge in that there are many ways to accomplish it. I’ve thought of a few, I want to see what everyone else comes up with.
Go!
Weekly Open Ended Question #12
May 5th
The answer to the eleventh question has been added to the post.
Twelfth question:
What are BPDU Filter and BPDU Guard? How do they differ and when are they used?
Please post answers in the comments (without Googling)!
EIGRP Lab #1
May 3rd
This is the first EIGRP post I’ll be doing for CCIE lab preparation.
I’ve tried to include a lot in this one without making it too long. Here’s the topology:

Click here for the initial configs
Here is task one:
1. Advertise all connected loopbacks into EIGRP AS 100. Ensure that only interfaces connected to other routers will form adjacencies. Do not allow EIGRP to summarize automatically.
Simple stuff:
R1(config)#router eigrp 100 R1(config-router)#passive-interface default R1(config-router)#no passive-interface Virtual-Template12 R1(config-router)#no passive-interface Virtual-Template13 R1(config-router)#network 1.0.0.0 R1(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0 R1(config-router)#no auto-summary R1(config)#interface Virtual-Template12 R1(config-if)#ip address 10.1.12.1 255.255.255.0 R1(config-if)# R1(config-if)#interface Virtual-Template13 R1(config-if)#ip address 10.1.13.1 255.255.255.0 R1(config-if)# R1(config-if)#interface Serial0/0.102 point-to-point R1(config-subif)#frame-relay interface-dlci 102 ppp Virtual-Template12 R1(config-subif)# R1(config-fr-dlci)#interface Serial0/0.103 point-to-point R1(config-subif)# frame-relay interface-dlci 103 ppp Virtual-Template13 |
This EIGRP config is basic, we’ve started the EIGRP 100 process, added our passive interface and network statements. We also disable auto-summarization. I’m only showing R1 here as the config is nearly identical across the board. We’ve also configured PPP on the FR links with Virtual Templates, this will be needed later in the config (leak maps).
RIP Lab #1
Apr 27th
This is the first in a series of lab posts I’ll be doing to prepare for the CCIE.
Today’s lab is from Narbik’s Volume One workbook. It’s a RIPv2 lab with some tricks thrown in. Here’s the topology:

Here is task one:
1. Configure RIPv2 on all routers and advertise their directly connected interfaces. Ensure that these routers have full NLRI to all the loopback interfaces advertised into RIP. Ensure that all routers can ping all loopbacks.
Let’s go through the config:
R1: R1(config)#router rip R1(config-router)#ver 2 R1(config-router)#no auto R1(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0 R1(config-router)#network 1.0.0.0 R2: R2(config)#router rip R2(config-router)#ver 2 R2(config-router)#no auto R2(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0 R2(config-router)#network 2.0.0.0 R3: R3(config)#router rip R3(config-router)#ver 2 R3(config-router)#no auto R3(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0 R3(config-router)#network 3.0.0.0 |
Looks pretty simple, but I’m sure you guys see that this won’t work correctly. Let’s look at R2 and R3′s routing tables:
R2#sh ip route
...
R 1.0.0.0/8 [120/1] via 10.1.1.1, 00:00:15, Serial0/0
C 2.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, Loopback0
10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 10.1.1.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0
R3#sh ip route
...
R 1.0.0.0/8 [120/1] via 10.1.1.1, 00:00:06, Serial0/0
C 3.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, Loopback0
10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 10.1.1.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0 |
