Configuring the Open Shortest Path First Protocol
Overview/Description
To configure Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) for a scalable multiarea network
Target Audience
Network engineers responsible for configuring, implementing, troubleshooting, and managing medium-to-large routed networks in an enterprise or service provider environment; network architects responsible for designing networks that support multiple routing protocol types; CCNP, CCDP, and CCIP candidates; CCIE routing and switching candidates
Prerequisites
A good understanding of networking terms, topologies, and the OSI reference model; familiarity with TCP/IP and configuring IP address schemes, including subnetting and variable-length subnet masking (VLSM); experience of operating and configuring Cisco routers for general use and configuring basic routing protocol implementations
Expected Duration
160 Minutes
Objectives:
Configuring the Open Shortest Path First Protocol
identify the characteristics and data structure of link-state routing protocols and recall the purpose of Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) areas.
identify how routers establish adjacencies, and recognize the SPF calculation.
recall the concepts and processes of OSPF areas and adjacencies.
differentiate between the five Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) packet types.
recall how neighbor adjacencies are established in OSPF and recognize the fields of the debug command used to monitor adjacency establishment.
configure and verify a basic single area OSPF configuration.
outline how OSPF operates over point-to-point and serial links and nonbroadcast multiaccess networks.
identify the different OSPF over Frame Relay configuration options and interpret debug output for IP OSPF adjacencies.
configure a number of routers into a single area, and identify output from show and debug commands that highlight packet types and the DR/BDR election process.
