It's now your opportunity to get some hands-on practice based on what we've
talked about
and discussed in this set of videos.
So here's what I'd love you to do.
Using the topology, I'd like you to use the traditional method for configuring
multi-area
OSPF for just IPv4.
And then once you've done that, I'd like you to verify full connectivity
between R7 and
R8.
And as we mentioned earlier, if you want to go ahead and use the Windows 11
client PC that's
in the lab environment or if you want to use the virtual PCs, feel free to test
connectivity WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
connectivity
from there as well.
So once you have full connectivity with IPv4 based on the topology, I'd then
like you
to answer the following questions.
On R7, identify the quantity, how many of each LSA type in the OSPF database,
including
how many LSA type ones, those are the LSAs generated by each individual router,
LSA type
2s generated by any designated routers in the area, as well as any LSA type 3s
that are
summary LSAs being generated by the ABR in that area. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
summary LSAs being generated by the ABR in that area.
So these are the lab tasks, so have some fun with it.
If you want to use as a reference the notepad document that's on server 1nug,
feel free to
do that.
If you are getting that notepad document, I would encourage you to configure
just a couple
or three routers manually before you start copying pasting just to make sure
you're comfortable
with the commands.
And then when you're done and you've answered these questions, join me in the
next video
and we'll do a walkthrough together.
