CCNP ROUTE Chapter 3 Lab 3-2, Multi-Area OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 with Stub Area (Version 7) 1

Objectives

  • Configure multi-area OSPFv2 for IPv4.
  • Configure multi-area OSPFv3 for IPv6
  • Verify multi-area behavior.
  • Configure stub and totally stubby areas for OSPFv2.
  • Configure stub and totally stubby areas for OSPFv3.

Background

In this lab, you will configure the network with multi-area OSPFv2 routing for IPv4 and multi-area OSPFv3 routing for IPv6. For both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3, area 51 will be configured as a normal OSPF area, a stub area and then a totally stubby area.

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

  • 4 routers (Cisco IOS Release 15.2 or comparable)
  • 4 switches (LAN interfaces)
  • 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 the addressing and serial links.

a. Using the topology, configure the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on the interfaces of each router.

R4(config)#

b. Verify connectivity by pinging across each of the local networks connected to each router.

c. Issue the show ip interface brief and the show ipv6 interface brief command on each router. These commands display a brief listing of the interfaces, their status, and their IP addresses. Router R1 is shown as an example.

R1# show ip interface brief 
Interface                  IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol

Serial0/0/1            [administratively down/down]  
    unassigned 
R1#

Step 2: Configure multi-area OSPFv2.

Create OSPFv2 process 1 on routers R1, R2 and R3. Configure the OSPF router ID on each router. Enable directly connected networks into the OSPF process using the ip ospf process-id area area-id interface command that is available with Cisco IOS version 12.3(11)T and later.

Note: 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.

a. Configure R3 as an OSPFv2 router in area 0.

R3(config)# router ospf 1
R3(config-router)# router-id 3.3.3.3
R3(config-router)# exit
R3(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/0
R3(config-if)# ip ospf 1 area 0
R3(config-if)# exit
R3(config)# interface serial 0/0/1
R3(config-if)# ip ospf 1 area 0
R3(config-if)#

Note: Another option is to use the OSPF network command in router configuration mode.

b. Configure R2 as an ABR router for area 0 and area 51. Interfaces S0/0/1 and G0/0 are in area 0, while interface S0/0/0 is in area 51.

R2(config)# router ospf 1
R2(config-router)# router-id 2.2.2.2
R2(config-router)# exit
R2(config)# interface serial 0/0/1
R2(config-if)# ip ospf 1 area 0
R2(config-if)# exit
R2(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/0
R2(config-if)# ip ospf 1 area 0
R2(config-if)# exit
R2(config)# interface serial 0/0/0
R2(config-if)# ip ospf 1 area 51
R2(config-if)#

What address on R2 is used to form the neighbor adjacency with R1? What type of IPv6 address is used to establish the adjacencies?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
c. Configure R1 as an internal OSPFv2 router in area 51.

R1(config)# router ospf 1
R1(config-router)# router-id 1.1.1.1
R1(config-router)# exit
R1(config)# interface serial 0/0/0
R1(config-if)# ip ospf 1 area 51
R1(config-if)# exit
R1(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/0
R1(config-if)# ip ospf 1 area 51
R1(config-if)#

d. Verify that the routers have OSPFv2 neighbors using the show ip ospf neighbors command. The output for R2 is displayed.

R2# show ip ospf neighbor
  
Neighbor ID     Pri   State           Dead Time   Address         Interface 
3.3.3.3           0   FULL/  -        00:00:36    192.168.4.2     Serial0/0/1

R2#

d. Verify that router R3 can see all the IPv4 networks in the OSPFv2 routing domain using the show ip route command.

R2#

Why doesn’t R2 have any inter-area OSPFv2 routes in its routing table?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
f. Configure an IPv4 default route on the ASBR R3 forwarding traffic to R4. Propagate the default routing into OSPFv2.

R3(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.77.1
R3(config)# router ospf 1
R3(config-router)# default-information originate
R3(config-router)#

g. Issue the show ip route static command on R3 to verify the static route is in the IPv4 routing table.

R3# show ip route static

Gateway of last resort is 192.168.77.1 to network 0.0.0.0

S*    0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 192.168.77.1
R3#

h. Configure an IPv4 static route on the ASBR, R3 for the 192.168.99.0/24 network on R4. Redistribute the static route into OSPFv2 using the redistribute static subnets command. The subnets parameter is used to include subnets and not just classful network addresses. The redistribute command is discussed in more detail in later chapters.

R3(config)# ip route 192.168.99.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.77.1
R3(config)# router ospf 1
R3(config-router)# redistribute static subnets

i. Issue the show ip route ospf command on R1 to verify that the default route and the redistributed static route are being advertised into the OSPFv2 domain.

R1# show ip route ospf

R1#

What does the “E2” for the default route and the redistributed external route signify?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Step 3: Configure an OSPFv2 stub area.

a. Under the OSPFv2 process on R1 and R2, make area 51 a stub area using the area area stub command. The adjacency between the two routers might go down during the transition period, but it should come back up afterwards.

R1(config)# router ospf 1
R1(config-router)# area 51 stub

R2(config)# router ospf 1
R2(config-router)# area 51 stub

b. Confirm that both R1 and R2 are neighbors using the show ip ospf neighbors command.

R1# show ip ospf neighbor
 
Neighbor ID     Pri   State           Dead Time   Address         Interface 
2.2.2.2           0   FULL/  -        00:00:36    192.168.2.2     Serial0/0/0 
R1#  

R2# show ip ospf neighbor                       
Neighbor ID     Pri   State           Dead Time   Address         Interface 
3.3.3.3           0   FULL/  -        00:00:37    192.168.4.2     Serial0/0/1

R2#

c. Issue the show ip route ospf command on R1. Notice that R1 still has a default route pointing toward R2 but with a different cost than it had prior to being configured in a stub area. This is not the default route propagated by the ASBR R3, but the default route injected by the ABR of the stub area. Also, R1 does not receive any external routes, so it no longer has the external network 192.168.99.0/24 in its routing table. Stub routers continue to receive inter-area routes from area 0.

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

What are the advantages of having a router receive a default route rather than a more specific route?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Why do all routers in a stub area need to know that the area is a stub?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Step 4: Configure a totally stubby area.

A modified version of a stubby area is a totally stubby area. A totally stubby area ABR only allows in a single, default route from the backbone, injected by the ABR. To configure a totally stubby area, you only need to change a command at the ABR, R2 in this scenario. Under the router OSPFv2 process, you will enter the area 51 stub no-summary command to replace the existing stub command for area 51. The no-summary option tells the router that this area will not receive summary (inter-area) routes.

a. To see how this works, issue the show ip route ospf command on R1. Notice the inter-area routes, in addition to the default route generated by R2.

R1# show ip route ospf

What are the advantages of making an area totally stubby instead of a regular stub area? What are the
disadvantages?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Why did only the ABR need to know that the area was totally stubby rather than all routers in the area?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Step 5: Configure multi-area OSPFv3.

Traditional OSPFv3 implements OSPF routing for IPv6. In our dual-stack (IPv4/IPv6) environment we have previously configured OSPFv2 for routing IPv4 and now we will configure OSPFv3 for routing IPv6.

a. OSPFv3 messages are sourced from the router’s IPv6 link-local address. Earlier in this lab, IPv6 GUA and linklocal addresses were statically configured on each router’s interface. The link-local addresses were configured to make these addresses more recognizable than being automatically created using EUI-64. Issue the show ipv6 interface brief command to verify the GUA and link-local addresses on the router’s interfaces.

R1# show ipv6 interface brief 
Em0/0                  [administratively down/down] 
    unassigned 
GigabitEthernet0/0     [up/up] 
    FE80::1 
    2001:DB8:CAFE:1::1 
GigabitEthernet0/1     [administratively down/down] 
    unassigned 
Serial0/0/0            [up/up] 
    FE80::1 
    2001:DB8:CAFE:2::1 
Serial0/0/1            [administratively down/down] 
    unassigned 
R1#

b. IPv6 routing is disabled by default. The Cisco IOS version used with the routers in this lab has IPv6 CEF enabled by default once IPv6 routing is enabled. To enable IPv6 routing, use the ipv6 unicast-routing command in global configuration mode. Use the show ipv6 cef command to verify whether IPv6 CEF is enabled. If you need to enable IPv6 CEF, use the ipv6 cef command. If IPv6 CEF is disabled you will see the an IOS message similar to “%IPv6 CEF not running:. Enter these commands on routers R1, R2 and R3. IPv6 routing on R4 has been enabled in Step 1.

R1(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
R1(config)# end
R1# show ipv6 cef

R1#

R2(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing

R3(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing

c. Configure the OSPFv3 process on each router. Similar to OSPFv2, the process ID does not have to match other routers to form neighbor adjacencies. Configure the 32-bit OSPFv3 router ID on each router. The OSPFv3 router ID uses the same process as OSPFv2 and is required if there are no IPv4 addresses configured on the router.

Note: The show ipv6 ospf command should used to verify the OSPF router ID. If the OSPFv3 router ID is uses a 32-bit value other than the one specified by the router-id command, you can reset the router ID by using the clear ipv6 ospf pid process command and re-verify using the command show ipv6 ospf.

R1(config)# ipv6 router ospf 2
R1(config-rtr)# router-id 1.1.1.1
R1(config-rtr)# exit
R1(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/0

d. Verify that you have OSPFv3 neighbors with the show ipv6 ospf neighbor command. The output for R2 is displayed.

Step 6: Configure an OSPFv3 stub area.

a. Configuring stub areas for OSPFv3 is similar to that for OSPFv2. The stub area functionality is the same for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. Under the OSPFv3 process on R1 and R2, make area 51 a stub area using the area area stub command. The adjacency between the two routers might go down during the transition period, but it should come back up afterwards.

R1(config)# ipv6 router ospf 2
R1(config-rtr)# area 51 stub

R2(config)# ipv6 router ospf 2
R2(config-rtr)# area 51 stub

b. Confirm that both R1 and R2 are neighbors using the show ipv6 ospf neighbors command.

c. To verify that the stub area functionality is the same in OSPFv3 as in OSPFv2 issue the show ipv6 route ospf command on R1. Similar to OSPFv2, notice that R1 still has a default route pointing toward R2 but with a different cost than it had prior to being configured in a stub area. Again, this is not the default route propagated by the ASBR R3, but the default route injected by the ABR of the stub area. R1 also does not receive any external routes, so it no longer has the 2001:DB8:99:1::/64 prefix in its routing table. Stub routers continue to receive inter-area routes.

Step 7: Configure a totally stubby area.

As mentioned earlier in the lab, a totally stubby area ABR only allows in a single, default route from the backbone, injected by the ABR. Configuring a totally stubby area, you only need to change a command at the ABR, R2 in this scenario. Similar commands used to configure a totally stubby area for the OSPFv2 process are used for OSPFv3.

a. First, issue the show ipv6 route ospf command on R1 to verify that inter-area routes, in addition to the default route are being sent by R2.

R1#show ipv6 route ospf 
IPv6 Routing Table - default - 9 entries 
Codes: C - Connected, L - Local, S - Static, U - Per-user Static route 
       B - BGP, R - RIP, H - NHRP, I1 - ISIS L1 
       I2 - ISIS L2, IA - ISIS interarea, IS - ISIS summary, D - EIGRP 
       EX - EIGRP external, ND - ND Default, NDp - ND Prefix, DCE - Destination 
       NDr - Redirect, O - OSPF Intra, OI - OSPF Inter, OE1 - OSPF ext 1 
       OE2 - OSPF ext 2, ON1 - OSPF NSSA ext 1, ON2 - OSPF NSSA ext 2 
       a - Application 
OI  ::/0 [110/65] 
     via FE80::2, Serial0/0/0 
OI  2001:DB8:CAFE:3::/64 [110/65] 
     via FE80::2, Serial0/0/0 
OI  2001:DB8:CAFE:4::/64 [110/128] 
     via FE80::2, Serial0/0/0 
OI  2001:DB8:CAFE:5::/64 [110/129] 
     via FE80::2, Serial0/0/0 
R1#

b. Enter the area 51 stub no-summary command on R2 (the ABR) under the OSPFv3 process.

R2(config)# ipv6 router ospf 2 
R2(config-rtr)# area 51 stub no-summary

c. On R1 and issue the show ipv6 route ospf command. Similar to OSPFv2, there is only one incoming route from the ABR R2. The default route is injected by the ABR R2. There are no inter-area OSPFv3 routes and no external OSPFv3 routes.

R1# show ipv6 route ospf 
IPv6 Routing Table - default - 6 entries 
Codes: C - Connected, L - Local, S - Static, U - Per-user Static route 
       B - BGP, R - RIP, H - NHRP, I1 - ISIS L1 
       I2 - ISIS L2, IA - ISIS interarea, IS - ISIS summary, D - EIGRP 
       EX - EIGRP external, ND - ND Default, NDp - ND Prefix, DCE - Destination 
       NDr - Redirect, O - OSPF Intra, OI - OSPF Inter, OE1 - OSPF ext 1 
       OE2 - OSPF ext 2, ON1 - OSPF NSSA ext 1, ON2 - OSPF NSSA ext 2 
       a - Application 
OI  ::/0 [110/65] 
     via FE80::2, Serial0/0/0 
R1#

d. View the output of the show ipv6 ospf command on ABR R2 to see what type each area is and the number of interfaces in each area.
