Lab#6: OSPF Prepared By Akbar Badhusha MOHIDEEN Objectives: The objective of this lab is to practice how to configure dynamic routing using OSPF protocol by building small network topology with three routers and three switches using CISCO Packet Tracer. Outline of this lab:

1. Building small network topology with three routers and configuring OSPF protocol in all the routers 2. Verifying the connectivity between the networks

Activity Outcomes At the end of this lab the student will be able to Build small network topology with OSPF routing Configure Dynamic Routing protocol OSPF in the routers. Lab Tasks  Build the network topology.

Task 1: Prepare the Network.

Step 1: Cable a network that is similar to the one in the Topology Diagram.

Task 2: Perform Basic Router Configurations.

Perform basic configuration of the R1, R2, and R3 routers according to the following guidelines: 1. Configure the router hostname. 2. Disable DNS lookup. 3. Configure a privileged EXEC mode password. 4. Configure a message-of-the-day banner. 5. Configure a password for console connections. 6. Configure a password for VTY connections.

Task 3: Configure and Activate Serial and Ethernet Addresses.

Step 1: Configure interfaces on R1, R2, and R3. Configure the interfaces on the R1, R2, and R3 routers with the IP addresses from the table under the Topology Diagram. Step 2: Verify IP addressing and interfaces. Use the show ip interface brief command to verify that the IP addressing is correct and that the interfaces are active. When you have finished, be sure to save the running configuration to the NVRAM of the router. Step 3: Configure Ethernet interfaces of PC1, PC2, and PC3. Configure the Ethernet interfaces of PC1, PC2, and PC3 with the IP addresses and default gateways from the table under the...
