Lab Objective:
The objective of this lab exercise is for you to configure Single-Area OSPF on Cisco routers.
Lab Purpose:
Single-Area OSPF is a core ICND/CCNA exam topic so learn it well. Rather than watch a video solution, I have provided show runs and test commands where appropriate.
Certification Level:
This lab is suitable for both CCENT and CCNA certification exam preparation.
Lab Difficulty:
This lab has a difficulty rating of 5/10.
Readiness Assessment:
When you are ready for your certification exam, you should complete this lab in no more than 15 minutes.
Lab Topology:
Please use the following topology to complete this lab exercise:
Task 1:
Configure the topology above. You should be able to ping across the Serial interface only because there are no routes from the Loopback networks.
Task 2:
Configure Single-Area OSPF on both routers. Put all networks into area 0. Set the router ID for RouterA to 1.1.1.1 and RouterB to 2.2.2.2. Ping all networks to check connectivity and check the routing tables.
Task 3:
Set Loopback0 on both routers to be a passive interface.
Solution
