Lab Objective:
This is a challenge lab designed to test and validate the skills you have acquired throughout this lab guide on Multi-Area OSPF, Frame Relay and LAN switching
Lab Purpose:
The purpose of this lab is to reinforce Multi-Area OSPF, Frame Relay and LAN switching.
Certification Level:
This lab is suitable for CCNA certification exam preparation
Lab Difficulty:
This lab has a difficulty rating of 10/10
Readiness Assessment:
When you are ready for your certification exam, you should complete this lab in no more than 30 minutes
Lab Topology:
Please use the following topology to complete this lab.
Task 1:
Configure the hostname on all devices as illustrated in the network topology.
Task 2:
Configure VLAN 75 on Sw1 and name it OSPF_VLAN. To simply switch port configuration, configure a macro called NETWORK-PORTS on Sw1 for ports FastEthernet0/1 and FastEthernet0/3. Using this macro, configure ports FastEthernet0/1 and FastEthernet0/3 as access ports in VLAN 75. Ensure that these ports immediately transition to the forwarding state.
Task 3:
Configure the IP addresses on R2 and R4 F0/0 interfaces as illustrated in the topology. Configure interface VLAN 75 on Sw1 with the IP address 10.1.1.254/24. Sw1 should have a default gateway of 10.1.1.2.
Task 4:
Configure R1, R2 and R3 over the Frame Relay network using static Frame Relay maps. Each router must have a static Frame Relay map to the other two routers on the Frame Relay network. Use the IP addresses provided.
Task 5:
Configure R1 and R3 F0/0 interfaces. Enable these interfaces on the routers. Also, enable ports FastEthernet0/2 and FastEthernet0/4 on Sw1 so that these interfaces come up.
Task 6:
Configure OSPF and assign interfaces to Areas illustrated in the network topology. On the Frame Relay network, change the default OSPF network type to the most suitable network type for NBMA networks. On all routers, configure the OSPF router ID as x.x.x.x, where x is the router number. For example, on R1 you would configure the OSFP router ID as 1.1.1.1, on R2 you would configure it as 2.2.2.2, etc.
Task 7:
Verify your OSPF adjacencies on all routers. Ensure you can ping all subnets from all routers.
