Topology
Objectives
- Configure multi-area OSPF on a router.
- Verify multi-area behavior.
- Create an OSPF virtual link.
- Summarize an area.
- Generate a default route into OSPF.
Background
You are responsible for configuring the new network to connect your company’s engineering, marketing, and accounting departments, represented by loopback interfaces on each of the three routers. The physical devices have just been installed and connected by serial cables. Configure multiple-area OSPFv2 to allow full connectivity between all departments.
In addition, R1 has a loopback interface representing a connection to the Internet. This connection will not be added into OSPFv2. R3 will have four additional loopback interfaces representing connections to branch offices.
Note: This lab uses Cisco 1941 routers with Cisco IOS Release 15.4 with IP Base. The switches are Cisco WSC2960- 24TT-L with Fast Ethernet interfaces, therefore the router will use routing metrics associated with a 100 Mb/s interface. Depending on the router or switch model and Cisco IOS Software version, the commands available and output produced might vary from what is shown in this lab.
Required Resources
- 3 routers (Cisco IOS Release 15.2 or comparable)
- Serial and Ethernet cables
Step 0: Suggested starting configurations.
a. Apply the following configuration to each router along with the appropriate hostname. The exec timeout 0 0 command should only be used in a lab environment.
Router(config)# no ip domain-lookup Router(config)# line con 0 Router(config-line)# logging synchronous Router(config-line)# exec-timeout 0 0
Step 1: Configure addressing and loopbacks.
Using the addressing scheme in the diagram, apply IP addresses to the serial interfaces on R1, R2, and R3. Create loopbacks on R1, R2, and R3, and address them according to the diagram.

R1(config)# interface loopback 1 R1(config-if)# description Engineering Department R1(config-if)# ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 R1(config-if)# interface loopback 30 R1(config-if)# ip address 172.30.30.1 255.255.255.252 R1(config-if)# interface serial 0/0/0 R1(config-if)# ip address 10.1.12.1 255.255.255.0 R1(config-if)# clockrate 64000 R1(config-if)# no shutdown R2# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line.

Step 2: Add interfaces into OSPF.
a. Create OSPF process 1 and OSPF router ID on all three routers. Using the network command, configure the subnet of the serial link between R1 and R2 to be in OSPF area 0. Add loopback 1 on R1 and loopback 2 on R2 into OSPF area 0.
Note: The default behavior of OSPF for loopback interfaces is to advertise a 32-bit host route. To ensure that the full /24 network is advertised, use the ip ospf network point-to-point command. Change the network type on the loopback interfaces so that they are advertised with the correct subnet.
R1(config)# router ospf 1 R1(config-router)# router-id 1.1.1.1 R1(config-router)# network 10.1.12.0 0.0.0.255 area 0 R1(config-router)# network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0 R1(config-router)# exit R1(config)# interface loopback 1 R1(config-if)# ip ospf network point-to-point R1(config-if)# end
The show ip ospf command should be used to verify the OSPF router ID. If the OSPF router ID is using a 32-bit value other than the one specified by the router-id command, you can reset the router ID by using the clear ip ospf pid process command and re-verify using the command show ip ospf.

Again, the show ip ospf command should be used to verify the OSPF router ID. If the OSPF router ID is using a 32-bit value other than the one specified by the router-id command, you can reset the router ID by using the clear ip ospf pid process command and re-verify using the command show ip ospf.
b. Verify that you can see OSPF neighbors in the show ip ospf neighbors output on both routers. Verify that the routers can see each other’s loopback with the show ip route command.

c. Add the subnet between R2 and R3 into OSPF area 23 using the network command. Add loopback 3 on R3 into area 23.
R2(config)# router ospf 1 R2(config-router)# network 10.1.23.0 0.0.0.255 area 23 R3(config)# router ospf 1 R3(config-router)# router-id 3.3.3.3 R3(config-router)# network 10.1.23.0 0.0.0.255 area 23 R3(config-router)# network 10.1.3.0 0.0.0.255 area 23 R3(config-router)# exit R3(config)# interface loopback 3 R3(config-if)# ip ospf network point-to-point
Again, the show ip ospf command should used to verify the OSPF router ID. If the OSPF router ID is using a 32- bit value other than the one specified by the router-id command, you can reset the router ID by using the clear ip ospf pid process command and re-verify using the command show ip ospf.
d. Verify that this neighbor relationship comes up with the show ip ospf neighbors command.
R2# show ip ospf neighbor Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface 1.1.1.1 0 FULL/ - 00:00:35 10.1.12.1 Serial0/0/0 3.3.3.3 0 FULL/ - 00:00:33 10.1.23.3 Serial0/0/1 R2#
Step 3: Create a virtual link.
e. Add loopbacks 100 through 103 on R3 to R3’s OSPF process in area 100 using the network command. Change the network type to advertise the correct subnet mask.
R3(config)# router ospf 1 R3(config-router)# network 192.168.100.0 0.0.3.255 area 100 R3(config-router)# exit R3(config)# interface loopback 100 R3(config-if)# ip ospf network point-to-point R3(config-if)# interface loopback 101 R3(config-if)# ip ospf network point-to-point R3(config-if)# interface loopback 102 R3(config-if)# ip ospf network point-to-point R3(config-if)# interface loopback 103 R3(config-if)# ip ospf network point-to-point
f. Look at the output of the show ip route command on R2. Notice that the routes to those networks do not appear. The reason for this behavior is that area 100 on R3 is not connected to the backbone. It is only connected to area 23. If an area is not connected to the backbone, its routes are not advertised outside of its area.
R2#show ip route 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 a - application route + - replicated route, % - next hop override Gateway of last resort is not set 10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 8 subnets, 2 masks O 10.1.1.0/24 [110/65] via 10.1.12.1, 00:09:22, Serial0/0/0 C 10.1.2.0/24 is directly connected, Loopback2 L 10.1.2.1/32 is directly connected, Loopback2 O 10.1.3.0/24 [110/65] via 10.1.23.3, 00:08:03, Serial0/0/1 C 10.1.12.0/24 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0 L 10.1.12.2/32 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0 C 10.1.23.0/24 is directly connected, Serial0/0/1 L 10.1.23.2/32 is directly connected, Serial0/0/1 R2#
What would happen if routes could pass between areas without going through the backbone?
____________________________________________________________________
You can get around this situation by creating a virtual link. A virtual link is an OSPF feature that creates a logical extension of the backbone area across a regular area, without actually adding any physical interfaces into area 0.
Note: Prior to creating a virtual link you need to identify the OSPF router ID for the routers involved (R2 and R3), using a command such as show ip ospf, show ip protocols or show ip ospf interface. The output for the show ip ospf command on R1 and R3 is shown below.
R2# show ip ospf Routing Process "ospf 1" with ID 2.2.2.2 <output omitted> R3# show ip ospf Routing Process "ospf 1" with ID 3.3.3.3 <output omitted>
g. Create a virtual link using the area transit_area virtual-link router-id OSPF configuration command on both R2 and R3.
R2(config)# router ospf 1 R2(config-router)# area 23 virtual-link 3.3.3.3 R2(config-router)# R3(config)# router ospf 1 R3(config-router)# area 23 virtual-link 2.2.2.2 *Aug 9 12:47:46.110: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 2.2.2.2 on OSPF_VL0 from LOADING to FULL, Loading Done R3(config-router)#
Notice after virtual links are established IOS will report full adjacency between both routers.
h. After you see the adjacency over the virtual interface come up, issue the show ip route command on R2 and see the routes from area 100. You can verify the virtual link with the show ip ospf neighbor and show ip ospf interface commands.

When are virtual links useful?

Why are virtual links a poor long-term solution?

Step 4: Summarize an area.
Loopbacks 100 through 103 can be summarized into one supernet of 192.168.100.0 /22. You can configure area 100 to be represented by this single summary route.
i. Configure R3 (the ABR) to summarize this area using the area area range network mask command.
R3(config)# router ospf 1 R3(config-router)# area 100 range 192.168.100.0 255.255.252.0
j. You can see the summary route on R2 with the show ip route and show ip ospf database commands.

This behavior is known as sending unknown traffic to the “bit bucket.” This means that if the router advertising the summary route receives a packet destined for something covered by that summary but not in the routing table, it drops it.
What is the reasoning behind this behavior?
_______________________________________________________
Step 5: Generate a default route into OSPF.
You can simulate loopback 30 on R1 to be a connection to the Internet. You do not need to advertise this specific network to the rest of the network. Instead, you can just have a default route for all unknown traffic to go to R1.
l. To have R1 generate a default route, use the OSPF configuration command default-information originate always. The always keyword is necessary for generating a default route in this scenario. Without this keyword, a default route is generated only into OSPF if one exists in the routing table.
R1(config)# router ospf 1 R1(config-router)# default-information originate always
m. Verify that the default route appears on R2 and R3 with the show ip route command.
