Objectives
In this lab, you will use the CLI commands to verify the operation of an existing OSPFv2 network.
In Part 2, you will add a new LAN to the configuration and verify connectivity.
• Identify and verify the status of OSPF neighbors.
• Determine how the routes are being learned in the network.
• Explain how the neighbor state is determined.
• Examine the settings for the OSPF process ID.
• Add a new LAN into an existing OSPF network and verify connectivity.
Background / Scenario
You are the network administrator for a branch office of a larger organization. Your branch is
adding a new wireless network into an existing branch office LAN. The existing network is
configured to exchange routes using OSPFv2 in a single-area configuration. Your task is to verify
the operation of the existing OSPFv2 network, before adding in the new LAN. When you are sure
that the current OSPFv2 LAN is operating correctly, you will connect the new LAN and verify that
OSPF routes are being propagated for the new LAN. As branch office network administrator, you
have full access to the IOS on routers R3 and R4. You only have read access to the enterprise
LAN routers R1 and R2, using the username BranchAdmin, and the password Branch1234.
Instructions
Part 1: Verify the existing OSPFv2 network operation.
The following commands will help you find the information needed to answer the questions:
show ip
interface
brief show ip
route show ip
route ospf
show ip ospf
neighbor show
ip protocols
show ip ospf
show ip ospf
interface
R1# show ip
route
--- output omitted ----
How did router R1 receive the default route? The default route was learned through
OSPF.Type your answers here.
From which router did R1 receive the default route? Router R2Type your answers here.
How can you filter the output of show ip route to show only the routes learned through OSPF?
Use either show ip route ospf or show ip route | include O
Type your answers here.
b. Execute the show ip ospf neighbor command on R1.
Questions:
How did router R2 learn the default route to the ISP? It was statically configured by the
administrator.
Type your answers here.
b. Enter the show ip ospf interface g0/0 on router R2.
Questions:
Is it successful? Yes
Type your answers here.
What is the neighbor priority shown for the OSPF neighbor routers? 0 This value is the
default.
Type your answers here.
c. Using the command prompt on PC3, ping the address of the ISP Router shown in the
Address Table.

Is it successful? Yes

Part 2: Add the new Branch Office LAN to the OSPFv2 network.
You will now add the pre-configured Branch Office LAN to the OSPFv2 network.
Execute a show run | begin router ospf command on router R4. Verify that the network
statements are present for the networks that are configured on the router.
Which interface is configured to not send OSPF update packets? Interface GigabitEtherenet0/0/1
Type your answers here.
Why is the state of router R4 different than the state of R1 and R2? Because the OSPF
network type between R1 and R2 is Point-to-Point, there is no OSPF election. R4 is on the
same Ethernet network segment as router R3, so the OSPF network type is Broadcast and
there is an OSPF election. When more than one router is located on a multiaccess network
segment, only one router, the DR, sends OSPFv2 updates. A second router, in this case R4,
becomes the Backup Designated Router and can take over if the DR router fails.answers

c. Using the command prompt on Laptop, ping the address of PC2.
Question:
Is it successful? Yes
