Lab 1 - OSPF and Broadcast Media

Our first lab delving into the OSPF world of the CCIE lab exam will focus on some fundamentals related to how OSPF works over broadcast media as well as introduce some basic concepts and common problems associated with design issues related to OSPF with some topologies.

Tasks:
-Using process ID 100 for the following two tasks
1-Configure OSPF area 13 on R1 and R3 without using the OSPF network command
2-Configure OSPF area 34 and area 24 on R3, R4, and R2 using the network command
only, using a seperate network command for each area without any overlap
3-Note any issues related to the current configuration
4-configure fa 0/0 on R1, R2, and R3 in area 0
5-Note any changes to the routing table

Solution

To begin we should establish our peering per the tasks defined by the lab. The tasks ask us to establish peering with specific neighbors using different peering configuration methods. Both methods have the same result and have no material difference in terms of how OSPF establishes the peering.

It's important to note that unlike RIP the network statement as well as the interface command to enable OSPF only enable the process on the interfaces associated with the commands. So with the network statement any interface that has an IP address within the range of the network command would send and receive OSPF hello's. This is also true with the interface command IP OSPF AS Area Area_number. Both commands have the same result but the network command can apply to multiple interfaces. The interface command would apply only to the interface on which it is entered.

Begin configure tasks 1 and 2:
R1(config)#int s1/0
R1(config-if)#ip ospf 100 area 13

R2(config)#router ospf 100
R2(config-router)#network 192.168.24.0 0.0.0.255 area 24

R3(config)#int s1/0
R3(config-if)#ip ospf 100 area 13

R3(config-if)#int s1/1
R3(config-if)#ip ospf 100 area 34

R4(config-if)#router ospf 100
R4(config-router)#network 192.168.34.0 0.0.0.255 area 34
R4(config-router)#network 192.168.24.0 0.0.0.255 area 24

At this point the lab asks us to note any issues with the configuration, so let's take a look.

So first thing to note is the lack of any summary LSA's on any of the routers. There are two kinds of summary LSA's type 3 and type 4. Type 3 Summary LSA's are a list of all type 1 & 2 LSA's for a given area sent by an ABR to an adjacent area. In short type 3 LSA's provide a complete list of networks outside a given area. Type 3 LSA's are sent between the backbone area and adjacent areas. Type 4 LSA's are generated by ABR for an area with an ASBR and provide path information to build a shortest path tree to an ASBR.

Since inter-area LSA exchange must be done through the backbone area none of the non-backbone areas have received any summary LSA leaving them with an incomplete few of the network.

The second and a little more obvious issue is the following error messages on R1 and R3.

Duplicate Router ID issue:
%OSPF-4-DUP_RTRID_NBR: OSPF detected duplicate router-id 199.198.197.196 from 192.168.13.1 on interface Serial1/0

%OSPF-4-DUP_RTRID_NBR: OSPF detected duplicate router-id 199.198.197.196 from 192.168.13.3 on interface Serial1/0

The message indicates a potential configuration or design issue. Specifically the error message indicates duplicate router ID's on the devices where the messages are displayed. The problem creates problems due to the fact that LSA's origination is based on router-id. The routers see duplicate LSA ID's causing continual recalculation of SPF indicated by the log message.

The solution to this problem is simple either change the loopback address IP on one router and then clear the OSPF process or use the router-id command to specify a new router-id on one of the devices. Each option will cause the router to recalculate SPF and flood updated LSA's out.

So I will use the router-id option on both R1 and R3. Issueing this command brings the neighbor state down momentarily to allow SPF recalculation.

R1(config)#router ospf 100
R1(config-router)#router-id 1.1.1.1

*Aug  4 19:16:02.799: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 100, Nbr 199.198.197.196 on Serial1/0 from LOADING to FULL, Loading Done

R3(config)#router ospf 100
R3(config-router)#router-id 3.3.3.3

% OSPF: Reload or use "clear ip ospf process" command, for this to take effect

The OSPF process must be restarted to use the new router-id.

Finally we configure our backbone interfaces.

R1(config)#int fa 0/0
R1(config-if)#ip ospf 100 area 0

R1(config)#int fa 0/0
R1(config-if)#ip ospf 100 area 0

R1(config)#int fa 0/0
R1(config-if)#ip ospf 100 area 0

And with that configuration in place we see all our LSA's.
