This article will tell you how to configure and experiment with OSPF using Cisco
Packet Tracer.

By using those two resources, you will know what the commands will be needed
and what the correct output should be if you have configured everything correctly.
MANAGEMENT

I have created three Packet Tracer files:

MICROSOFT

IT TRAINING ospf-init.pkt—This is the initial topology with all interfaces configured

but no OSPF configuration. You should download this file and start to
CLOUD
configure OSPF areas; when you are done, you should check
COMPUTING reachability between the four PCs.
ospf-features.pkt—This is the starting point of the second scenario,
UNCATEGORIZED
where some optional OSPF feature will be configured. It can be used
as a verification point for the first scenario as well. If you configure the
BUSINESS SKILLS

first scenario correctly you can continue using that Packet Tracer file.
VIRTUALIZATION
ospf-final-config.pkt—This is just for your verification and contains the
LEADERSHIP final configuration at the end of both scenario one and two.

VIDEOS
Regarding the topology, on every subnet where a PC is connected, the router’s
interface has an IP address whose last octet is .1 and the last octet of the PC’s IP
INTERVIEWS
address is .100. The default gateway of the PC is the router’s IP address.

For instance, on the subnet with PC1: PC1 has the IP address of 10.10.10.100/24 and
R1’s interface IP address is 10.10.10.1/24.

Each router has a loopback address in the form of x.x.x.x/32, where x is the router
number. For instance, the loopback address of R1 is 1.1.1.1/32, as you can also see in
the diagram.

Also, each subnet between the routers is written on the topology and every router is
using its router number as the last octet. For instance, on the subnet 10.10.16.0/24, R1
has 10.10.16.1/24 and R6 has 10.10.16.6/24.

Hints
IT TRAINING
1. Use the command “router ospf 1” to start the OSPF process on each
CLOUD router.
2. Use the command “network x.x.x.x y.y.y.y area <z>” to configure an
COMPUTING
interface under a specific area.
UNCATEGORIZED
3. Use the command “passive-interface” to make sure that no OSPF
adjacency will be established on that interface.

Scenario 2

LEADERSHIP
Tasks
VIDEOS
1. Configure the router-id of each router to x.x.x.100. For instance, the R1’s
INTERVIEWS router-id should be 1.1.1.100. OSPF process might need to be restarted.
2. Configure plain text authentication between R2 and R5 with the key
cisco.
3. Configure MD5 authentication between R4 and R6 with the key cisco.
4. Change the OSPF hello and dead interval timers between R1 and R3 to
5 seconds and 20 seconds.
5. Make sure that, when R5 sends traffic to R6, R5doesn’t send it through
the direct link between them.

Verification

1. Use the “show ip ospf” command to check the router-id.

2. Use the “show ip ospf interface” command to check the authentication
type on the interface where authentication was changed.

5. Use the “ip ospf cost” command to increase the cost of Serial0/0/0 on

by R1 and R3.

I expect that these exercises will give you more understanding of how OSPF works
and you will feel how is it to configure various features of OSPF that are supported
on Cisco Packet Tracer.

However you shouldn’t stop with what is described in these two scenarios. Try to see
what other OSPF knobs you can configure and what they do.
