Now that we are finally to Part 3 of the Router OSPF Series its time to have some fun configuring OSPF. I even made a video showing you how to configure a two area OSPF implementation!
If you still havn’t read Part 1 or Part 2 yet please do so that you understand some OSPF fundamentals.
First, I’m going to show you the video I made. And then I’ll write out all the configuration setting I used on each router so that you can see and learn what I did. Setting up a basic configuration of OSPF actually is pretty simple. If you already know how to set up RIP, for OSPF all you have to remember is that you have to use a wild card mask and use area numbers. Other than that the configuration is pretty much the same.
Okay, now the OSPF Video:
Here is the map of the two area OSPF network that I used in the video:
Two Area OSPF Router Configuration:
RouterA:
interface ethernet 0/0
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
interface ethernet 0/1
ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
Router OSPF 100
network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
network 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 1
RouterB:
interface ethernet 0/0
ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
router ospf 100
network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
RouterC:
interface ethernet 0/0
ip address 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
router ospf 100
network 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
So, that pretty much sums up, along with the other two parts of this series, many of the important things to know for the ICND2 Exam.
