Objectives
Part 1: Troubleshoot Layer 3 Connectivity
Part 2: Troubleshoot OSPFv2
Part 3: Troubleshoot OSPFv3

Background / Scenario
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is an open-standard link-state routing protocol for IP networks. OSPFv2 is
defined for IPv4 networks, while OSPFv3 is defined for IPv6 networks. OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 are completely
isolated routing protocols, meaning changes in OSPFv2 do not affect OSPFv3 routing, and vice versa.

Lab – Troubleshooting Multiarea OSPFv2 and OSPFv3

In this lab, a multiarea OSPF network running OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 is experiencing problems. You have
been assigned to find the problems with the network and correct them.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the
correct interface identifiers.

Required Resources
• 3 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)
• Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
• Serial cables as shown in the topology

Part 1: Troubleshoot Layer 3 Connectivity

In Part 1, you will verify that Layer 3 connectivity is established on all interfaces. You will need to test both
IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity for all device interfaces. All routers have the same passwords. The enable
password is class, and the line password is cisco.

Step 1: Verify the interfaces listed in the Addressing Table are active and configured with
correct IP address information.
a. Issue the show ip interface brief command on all three routers to verify that the interfaces are in an
up/up state.

b. Issue the show run | section interface command to view all the commands related to interfaces.

c. Resolve all problems found. Record the commands used to correct the configuration.

d. Using the ping command, verify that IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity has been established on all
directly connected router interfaces. If problems still exist, continue troubleshooting Layer 3 issues.

Part 2: Troubleshoot OSPFv2

Note: LAN (loopback) interfaces should not advertise OSPF routing information, but routes to these networks
should be contained in the routing tables.

Step 1: Test IPv4 end-to-end connectivity.

From each router, ping all interfaces on the other routers. Record your results below as IPv4 OSPFv2
connectivity problems do exist.

Step 2: Verify that all interfaces are assigned to the proper OSPFv2 areas on R1.
a. Issue the show ip protocols command to verify that OSPF is running and that all networks are being
advertised in the correct areas. Verify that the router ID is set correctly, as well for OSPF.

b. If required, make the necessary changes needed to the configuration on R1 based on the output from
the show ip protocols command. Record the commands used to correct the configuration.
____________________________________________________________________________________

c. If required, re-issue the show ip protocols command to verify that your changes had the desired effect.
d. Issue the show ip ospf interface brief command to verify that the serial interface and loopback
interfaces 1 and 2 are listed as OSPF networks assigned to their respective areas.
e. Resolve any problems discovered on R1 for OSPFv2.

Step 3: Verify that all interfaces are assigned to the proper OSPFv2 areas on R2.
a. Issue the show ip protocols command to verify that OSPF is running and that all networks are being
advertised in their proper respective areas. Verify that the router ID is also set correctly.

b. If required, make any necessary changes to the configuration on R2 based on the output from the show
ip protocols command. Record the commands used to correct the configuration.

Step 4: Verify that all interfaces are assigned to the proper OSPFv2 areas on R3.
a. Issue the show ip protocols command to verify that OSPF is running and that all networks are being
advertised in their respective areas. Verify that the router ID is also set correctly.
b. If required, make the necessary changes to the configuration on R3 based on the output from the show
ip protocols command. Record the commands used to correct the configuration.

c. If required, re-issue the show ip protocols command to verify that your changes had the desired effect.
d. Issue the show ip ospf interface brief command to verify that all interfaces are listed as OSPF networks
assigned to their proper areas.
e. Resolve any problems discovered on R3 for OSPFv2.

Step 5: Verify OSPFv2 neighbor information.

Issue the show ip ospf neighbor command to verify that each router has all OSPFv2 neighbors listed.

Step 6: Verify OSPFv2 routing information.

a. Issue the show ip route ospf command to verify that each router has all OSPFv2 routes in their
respective routing tables.
b. If any OSPFv2 routes are missing, troubleshoot and resolve the problems.

Step 7: Verify IPv4 end-to-end connectivity.

From each router, ping all interfaces on other routers. If IPv4 end-to-end connectivity does not exist, then
continue troubleshooting to resolve any remaining issues.

Part 3: Troubleshoot OSPFv3

Note: LAN (loopback) interfaces should not advertise OSPFv3 routing information, but routes to these
networks should be contained in the routing tables.

Step 1: Test IPv6 end-to-end connectivity.

From each router, ping all interfaces on the other routers. Record your results as IPv6 connectivity problems
do exist.

Step 2: Verify that IPv6 unicast routing has been enabled on all routers.
a. An easy way to verify that IPv6 routing has been enabled on a router is to use the show run | section
ipv6 unicast command. By adding the pipe section to the show run command, the ipv6 unicast-routing
command is displayed if IPv6 routing has been enabled.

b. If IPv6 unicast routing is not enabled on one or more routers, enable it now. If required, record the
commands used to correct the configuration.

Step 3: Verify that all interfaces are assigned to the proper OSPFv3 areas on R1.
a. Issue the show ipv6 protocols command to verify that the router ID is correct and the
expected interfaces display in their proper areas.
b. If required, make any necessary changes to the configuration on R1 based on the output from the show
ipv6 protocols command. Record the commands used to correct the configuration. It may be necessary
to reset OSPF process by issuing the clear ipv6 ospf process command.

interfaces are showing up under their proper areas.

b. If required, make any necessary changes to the configuration on R2 based on the output from the show

continue troubleshooting to resolve any remaining issues.

Reflection
Why not just use the show running-config command to resolve all issues?

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many
interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router
class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the
device. The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one.
An example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can
be used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
