OSPF for Multiple Area Domains

Overview/Description
To configure OSPF for multiple area domains, special area types, and virtual links

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
155 Minutes

Objectives:

OSPF for Multiple Area Domains

  • list the types of OSPF routers and recall all of the link-state advertisements defined by OSPF.
  • list the benefits of route summarization and use appropriate commands to configure summarization and a default route in OSPF.
  • interpret the OSPF LSDB and routing table.
  • differentiate between the different OSPF area types and identify the characteristics of stub and not-so-stubby areas.
  • idenify OSPF router types in a given scenario and define stub areas.
  • define the two major purposes of OSPF virtual links, configure OSPF virtual links, and verify their operation.
  • configure OSPF in an NBMA network and in a multi-area environment.
  • configure OSPF virtual links.
