OSPF Case study Questions

toufiqtoufiq Member Posts: 34 ■■□□□□□□□□
I have almost completed my case study from JNCIP book.
but some below points needs to be cleared from you guys.

1. In some points, i found that metrics advertised with defaults values, my question is that is this will be requirement in JNCIP real exam or we will configure it with any value.

2.On page 190 I observed that R4 is configured with default metric 10 and Metric Type-2 while on page 233 R3 is configured with default metric 1 and with no metric type but both are ABRs with same configuration requirements.

Please guide, why we above difference.

Regards,
Toufiq

    1. I think it would be best to assume it to be left to default. But if you decide to put any value.. make sure it doesn't break any other rule in the exam.

    2. Pg 190 requirement No type 5 or type 3 LSAs in area 10. => It doesn't mention type-1 or type-2 ... type-2 is default.. author just mentions it specifically and chooses to assign some value

    In Page 233 also there is no type 1 requirement.. author doesn't mention type 2.. as it is default.. And he chooses to assign some value.

    This is something I got from Harry in another Forum.. Posting my email and his replies

    Thank You so much for that nice explanation. Somehow missed checking it.. I
    loaded the configs and saw what you meant..
    lab@R1# run show route 0.0.0.0/0 exact detail

    inet.0: 12 destinations, 13 routes (12 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
    0.0.0.0/0 (1 entry, 1 announced)
    *OSPF Preference: 150
    Next-hop reference count: 2
    Next hop: 10.0.4.13 via ge-0/0/1.200, selected

    [edit]
    lab@R1#

    It did add up the metric count when it received the route from R3.

    lab@R1# run show ospf database nssa extensive

    Thanks so it means that we dont need to configure metric-type-2 when configuring NSSA.further i have configured 1g metric on R1 & R2 but still not receving the 30 metric on R5. Can you please share the config for reference bandwidth on R1 router.

    [edit]
    root# run show route 10.0.5.1

    inet.0: 24 destinations, 25 routes (24 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
    + = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

    10.0.5.0/24 *[OSPF/150] 00:00:02, metric 13, tag 420
    > to 10.0.2.2 via em2.0

    The requirement doesn't state to enable type-2.. so leaving it default would mean type 1.. If requirement asks us not the change the metric value when it traverses links.. Then you need type 2

    Reference bandwidth has to be 1g on all ospf routers...this is a standard rule..

    What you need is a bandwidth command

    Something like "set interface em0.0 bandwidth 100m" --> fast Ethernet

    Thanks for your reply but the command you mentioned for setting interface bandwidth is not working in olive. Can you please crosscheck and confirm?

    I do not use Olives.. I just assumed it might work.. In real world this is the command used...

    Yea, I think with olives most physical interface properties aren't going to work. I think any physical properties that you can set for a normal OOB fxp0 interface can be set on an olive em or fxp interface.

    This is one of the unfortunate limitations of working with olives icon_sad.gif
