As shown in the figure, R1 (G0/0/0), R2 (Loopback0, G0/0/0, G0/0/1, and G0/0/2), R3 (G0/0/0), and R5 (G0/0/2) run OSPF. The OSPF process ID is 1, and the
OSPF area ID is 0. R1 advertises Loopback0 into OSPF by using the import command. R3 (Loopback0 and G0/0/1), R4 (Loopback0, G0/0/0, and G0/0/1), and
R5 (Loopback0 and G0/0/1) run IS-IS and are deployed in area 49.0001. Network connectivity is required in the OSPF and IS-IS domains. That is, R3 functions
as an ASBR and imports routes between routing protocols to ensure that there are reachable routes between devices on the entire network.
However, Loopback0 on R1 cannot ping Loopback0 on any device in the IS-IS domain.
The OSPF and IS-IS neighbor relationships are normal, and R2 can learn the route of Loopback0 on R1.
1. Provide at least two possible causes of the fault and list the commands you would use for troubleshooting. (4 points)
2. After the fault is rectified, Loopback0 on R1 can ping Loopback0 on any device in the IS-IS domain.
I. In this case, if R5 accesses Loopback0 on R1, what problems may arise? (2 points)
II. To ensure high route reliability, route import between routing protocols is also configured on R5. If the IP address of Loopback0 on R1 is deleted, what
problems may arise? (2 points)
III. How can you solve the problems mentioned above? (2 points)
