Configuring OSPF Neighbors

1. Configure the network between 2621A and 2501A. Assign it to area 0: 2621A#conf t Enter configuration commands, one per line.

Verifying OSPF Operation

1. Execute a show ip ospf neighbors command from the 2621 router and view the results: 2621A#sho ip ospf neig 2. Execute a show ip route command to verify that all other routers are learning all routes: 2621A#sho ip route

OSPF DR and BDR Elections

In this lab, youll watch the DR and BDR elections on your test network by forcing and verifying the election process. Youre going to start by using Figure 7.12 to build your network. The more routers you have the better, but you need at least three routers connected via a LAN segment to complete this lab. FIGURE 7.12 Lab_A EO OSPF hands-on lab network diagram Lab_B EO Lab_C EO In this lab, I am using 2500 series routers, but you can use any type of router with any type of LAN interface. Or you can use the Sybex or RouterSim software products instead of real routers. 1. First, connect the network together as shown in Figure 7.12. Create an IP scheme for the networksomething simple like 10.1.1.1/24, 10.1.1.2/24, and 10.1.1.3/24 will work great. 2. Now configure OSPF, and place all routers into area 0. Only the Ethernet LAN interface needs to be configured in this lab because, as you know, elections dont take place on serial connections. 3. Next, type show ip ospf interface e0 on each router to verify Area ID, DR, BDR information, and the Hello and Dead timers of the interface connected to the LAN network 5

4. By looking at the show ip ospf interface e0 output, determine which router is the DR and which router is the BDR. 5. Now verify the network type of your router. Because the connection is on an Ethernet LAN, the network type is BROADCAST. If you were viewing a serial connection, youd want a point-to-point network. 6. Here you have to set the priority for the router. The priority of all routers, by default, is 1. If you were to change the priority to 0, the router would never participate in the election process for the LAN. (Remember that elections do not occur on serial point-to-point links.) 7. Now you need to decide which router will be the new DR. 8. Next, enable the debugging process that allows you to see the DR and BDR election take place. Type debug ip ospf adjacency on all your routers. Try to open more than one console connection by telnetting into the other routers. Remember to use the terminal monitor command on the Telnet session or you wont see any debugging output. 9. Here, set the priority of the new DR Ethernet 0 interface to 3 by typing ip ospf priority 3. 10. Next, shut down the Ethernet interface of the DR router and bring it back up with the no shutdown command. Obviously, if youre telnetted into that router, youll lose your session at this point. 11. Heres where the election should take place and the router you picked to be the DR should now actually be the DR. 12. Finally, type show ip ospf interface e0 to verify the DR and BDR information on each router. The priority of a routers interface can be set all the way up to 255, which means it will always be the DR of the area. You can then set a router in your test network with a higher priority and see that the priority takes precedence over.
