Chapter 1: Introduction to Routing and Packet Fowarding

23

1.

The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) process on PC1 formulates a ping request to PC3 and sends the reply to the IP process.

2.

The IP process on PC1 encapsulates the ping packet with a source IP address of 192.168.1.10 and destination IP address of 192.168.4.10.

3.

PC1 then frames the packet with the source MAC address of (indicate device name) PC1 and the destination MAC address of (indicate device name) R1.

4.

Next, PC1 sends the frame out on the media as an encoded stream of bits.

5.

R1 receives the bit stream on its FastEthernet 0/0 interface. Because the destination MAC address matches the receiving interface’s MAC address, R1 strips off the Ethernet header.

6.

R1 looks up the destination network address 192.168.4.0/24 in its routing table. This destination has a next-hop IP address of 192.168.2.2. The next-hop IP address is reachable out interface Serial 0/0/0.

7.

R1 encapsulates the packet in a High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) frame and forwards the frame out the correct interface. (Because this is a point-to-point link, no address is needed. However, the address field in the HDLC packet contains the value 0x8F.)

8.

R2 receives the frame on the Serial 0/0/0 interface. Because the frame is HDLC, R2 strips off the header and looks up the network address 192.168.4.0/24 in its routing table. This destination has a next-hop IP address of 192.168.3.2. The next-hop IP address is reachable out interface Serial 0/0/1.

9.

R2 encapsulates the packet in an HDLC frame and forwards the frame out the correct interface.

10. R3 receives the frame on the Serial 0/0/1 interface. R3 strips off the header and looks up the

network address 192.168.4.0/24 in its routing table. This destination address is directly connected to the FastEthernet 0/0 interface. 11.

R3 encapsulates the ping request in a frame with the source MAC address of (indicated device name) R3 and the destination MAC address of (indicate device name) PC3.

12. R3 then sends the frame out on the media as an encoded bit stream. 13. PC3 receives the bit stream on its Fast Ethernet interface. Because the destination MAC address

matches the MAC address of PC3, PC3 strips off the Ethernet header. 14. The IP process on PC3 examines the 192.168.4.10 IP address to make sure that it matches its

own IP address. Then PC3 es the data to the ICMP process. 15. The ICMP process on PC3 formulates a ping reply to PC1 and sends the reply to the IP

process. 16. The IP process on PC3 encapsulates the ping packet with a source IP address of 192.168.4.10

and destination IP address of 192.168.1.10. 17.


18. PC3 then sends the frame out on the media as an encoded bit stream. 19.

R3 receives the bit stream on its FastEthernet 0/0 interface. Because the destination MAC address matches the receiving interface’s MAC address, R3 strips off the Ethernet header.

20. R3 looks up the destination network address 192.168.1.0/24 in its routing table. This destination

has a next-hop IP address of 192.168.3.1. The next-hop IP address is reachable out interface Serial 0/0/1.

24

21.

R3 encapsulates the packet in an HDLC frame and forwards the frame out the correct interface.

22. R2 receives the frame on the Serial 0/0/1 interface. R2 strips off the header and looks up the

network address 192.168.1.0/24 in its routing table. This destination has a next-hop IP address of 192.168.2.1. The next-hop IP address is reachable out interface Serial 0/0/0. 23. R2 encapsulates the packet in an HDLC frame and forwards the frame out the correct interface. 24. R1 receives the frame on the Serial 0/0/0 interface. R1 strips off the header and looks up the

destination network address 192.168.1.0/24 in its routing table. This destination address is directly connected to the FastEthernet 0/0 interface. 25. R1 encapsulates the ping request in a frame with the source MAC address of (indicated device

name) R1 and the destination MAC address of (indicate device name) PC1. 26. R1 then sends the frame out on the media as an encoded bit stream. 27.

PC1 receives the bit stream on its Ethernet (NIC) interface. Because the destination MAC address matches the MAC address of PC1, PC1 strips off the Ethernet header.

28. The IP process on PC1 examines the 192.168.1.10 IP address to make sure that it matches its

own IP address. Then PC1 es the data to the ICMP process. 29.

ICMP sends a “success” message to the requesting application.

Task 1: Cable the Ethernet Links of the Network Cable the Ethernet links for a network that is similar to the one in the topology diagram. The output used in this lab is from Cisco 1841 routers. However, you can use any current router in your lab as long as it has the required interfaces as shown in the topology. A simple way to identify the available interfaces on a router is by entering the show ip interface brief command. Which of the devices in the topology diagram require an Ethernet cable between them? PC1 to S1, S1 to R1, and R2 to PC2 Step 1.

Connect the R1 router to the S1 switch. Use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the FastEthernet 0/0 interface of the R1 router to the FastEthernet 0/1 interface on the S1 switch. What color is the link status light next to the FastEthernet 0/0 interface on R1? green What color is the link status light next to the FastEthernet 0/1 interface on S1? green

Step 2.

Connect PC1 to the S1 switch. Use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the NIC of PC1 to the FastEthernet 0/2 interface of the S1 switch. What color is the link status light next to the NIC interface on PC1? green What color is the link status light next to the FastEthernet 0/2 interface on S1? green If the link status lights are not green, wait a few moments for the link between the two devices to become established. If the lights do not turn green after a few moments, check that you are using a straight-through Ethernet cable and that the power is on for the S1 switch and PC1.

Step 3.

Connect PC2 to the R2 router. Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the FastEthernet 0/0 interface of the R2 router to the NIC of PC2. Because there is no switch between PC2 and the R2 router, a crossover cable is required for a direct link between the PC and the router. What color is the link status light next to the NIC interface on PC2? green What color is the link status light next to the FastEthernet 0/0 interface on R2? green

Task 2: Cable the Serial Link Between the R1 and R2 Routers In a real-world WAN connection, the customer premises equipment (E), which is often a router, is the data terminal equipment (DTE). This equipment is connected to the service provider through a data communications equipment (DCE) device, which is commonly a modem or channel service unit (CSU)/data service unit (DSU). This device is used to convert the data from the DTE into a form acceptable to the WAN service provider. Unlike the cables in the academy lab setup, the serial cables in the real world are not connected back to back. In a real-world situation, one router might be in New York, while another router might be in Sydney, Australia. An located in Sydney would have to connect to the router in New York through the WAN cloud to troubleshoot the New York router. In the academy labs, devices that make up the WAN cloud are simulated by the connection between the back-to-back DTE-DCE cables. The connection from one router serial interface to another router serial interface simulates the entire WAN cloud. Step 1.

Create a null serial cable to connect the R1 router to the R2 router. In the academy labs, the WAN connection between routers uses one DCE cable and one DTE cable. The DCE-DTE connection between routers is referred to as a null serial cable. The labs will use one V.35 DCE cable and one V.35 DTE cable to simulate the WAN connection. The V.35 DCE connector is usually a female V.35 (34-pin) connector. The DTE cable has a male V.35 connector. The cables are also labeled as DCE or DTE on the router end of the cable. The DTE and DCE V.35 cables must be ed. Holding one of the V.35 ends in each hand, examine the pins and sockets as well as the threaded connectors. Note that there is only one proper way for the cables to fit together. Align the pins on the male cable with the sockets on the female cable and gently couple them. Very little effort should be required to accomplish this. When they are ed, turn the thumbscrews clockwise and secure the connectors.

Step 2.

Connect the DCE end of the null serial cable to the Serial 0/0/0 interface of the R1 router, and the DTE end of the null serial cable to the Serial 0/0/0 interface of the R2 router. Review the following information before making these connections. Before making the connection to one of the routers, examine the connector on the router and the cable. Note that the connectors are tapered to help prevent improper connection. Holding the connector in one hand, orient the cable and router connecters so that the tapers match. Now push the cable connector partially into the router connector. It probably will not go in all the way because the threaded connectors need to be tightened for the cable to be inserted completely. While holding the cable in one hand and gently pushing the cable toward the router, turn one of the thumbscrews clockwise, 3 or 4 rounds, to start the screws. Now turn the other thumbscrew clockwise, 3 or 4 rounds, to get it started. At this point, the cable should be attached sufficiently to free both hands to advance each thumbscrew at the same rate until the cable is fully inserted. Do not overtighten these connectors.


29

Task 3: Establish a Console Connection to the R1 Router The console port is a management port used to provide out-of-band access to a router. It is used to set up the initial configuration of a router and to monitor it. A rollover cable and an RJ-45–to–DB-9 adapter are used to connect a PC to the console port. As you know from your previous studies, terminal emulation software is used to configure the router over the console connection. The Cisco Networking Academy Program recommends using Tera Term. However, you can also use HyperTerminal, which is part of the Windows operating system. At the end of this lab, the following three appendices are available for your reference concerning these two terminal emulation programs: ■

Appendix 1A: Installing and Configuring Tera Term for Use in Windows XP

■

Appendix 1B: Configuring Tera Term as the Default Telnet Client in Windows XP

■

Appendix 1C: Accessing and Configuring HyperTerminal

Step 1.

Examine the router and locate the RJ-45 connector labeled Console.

Step 2.

Examine PC1 and locate a 9-pin male connector serial port. It might—or might not—be labeled as COM1 or COM2.

Step 3.

Locate the console cable. Some console cables have an RJ-45–to–DB-9 adapter built into one end. Others do not. Locate either a console cable with a built-in adapter or a console cable with a separate RJ45–to–DB-9 adapter attached to one end.

Step 4.

Connect the console cable to the router and PC. First, connect the console cable to the router console port, an RJ-45 connector. Next, connect the DB-9 end of the console cable to the serial port of PC1.

Step 5.

Test router connection: a.

Open your terminal emulation software (HyperTerminal, Tera Term, or other software specified by your instructor).

b.

Configure the software parameters specific to your applications (see the appendices for help).

c. When the terminal window is open, press Enter. There should be a response from

the router. If there is, the connection has been successfully completed. If there is no connection, troubleshoot as necessary. For example, that the router has power. Check the connection to the serial port on the PC and the console port on the router.

Task 4: Erase and Reload the Routers Step 1.

Using the HyperTerminal session established in Task 3, enter privileged EXEC mode on R1. Router> enable Router#

Step 2.

Erase the configuration.

30


To clear the configuration, issue the erase startup-config command. Press Enter when prompted to [confirm] that you really do want to erase the configuration currently stored in NVRAM. The result should look something like this: Router# erase startup-config Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all files! Continue? [confirm] [OK] Erase of nvram: complete Router#

Step 3.

Reload the configuration. When the prompt returns, issue the reload command. Answer no if asked to save changes. After the router finishes the boot process, choose not to use the AutoInstall facility, as shown: Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: no Would you like to terminate autoinstall? [yes]: Press Enter to accept default. Press RETURN to get started!

Step 4.

Establish a HyperTerminal session to R2. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to remove any startup configuration files that might be present.

Task 5: Understand Command-Line Basics Step 1.

Establish a HyperTerminal session to router R1.

Step 2.

Enter privileged EXEC mode. Router> enable Router#

Step 3.

Enter an incorrect command and observe the router response. Router# comfigure terminal ^ % Invalid input detected at ‘^’ marker. Router#

Command-line errors occur primarily from typing mistakes. If a command keyword is incorrectly typed, the interface uses the caret symbol (^) to identify and isolate the error. The ^ appears at or near the point in the command string where an incorrect command, keyword, or argument was entered. Step 4.

Correct the previous command. If a command is entered incorrectly, and the Enter key is pressed, the Up Arrow key can be pressed to repeat the last command. Use the Right Arrow and Left Arrow keys to move the cursor to the location where the mistake was made. Then make the correction. If something needs to be deleted, use the Backspace key. Use the directional keys and the Backspace key to correct the command to configure terminal, and then press Enter:


31

Router# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line.

End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)#

Step 5.

Return to privileged EXEC mode with the exit command. Router(config)# exit %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console Router#

Step 6.

Examine the commands that are available for privileged EXEC mode. A question mark (?) can be entered at the prompt to display a list of available commands: Router# ? Exec commands: <1-99>

Step 8.

Disable debugging functions (see also ‘debug’)

vlan

Configure VLAN parameters

write

Write running configuration to memory, network, or terminal

Exit privileged EXEC mode with the exit command. Router# exit

The following output should be displayed: Router con0 is now available

Press RETURN to get started.

Step 9.

Press Enter to enter EXEC mode. The Router> prompt should be visible.

Step 10.

Type an abbreviated IOS command. IOS commands can be abbreviated, as long as enough characters are typed for the IOS to recognize the unique command. Enter only the character e at the command prompt and observe the results: Router> e % Ambiguous command: “e” Router>

Enter en at the command prompt and observe the results: Router> en Router#

The abbreviated command en contains enough characters for the IOS to distinguish the enable command from the exit command. Step 11.

Press Tab after an abbreviated command to use autocomplete. Typing an abbreviated command, such as conf, followed by the Tab key completes a partial command name. This functionality of the IOS is called autocomplete. Type the abbreviated command conf, press the Tab key, and observe the results: Router# conf Router# configure

This autocomplete feature can be used as long as enough characters are typed for the IOS to recognize the unique command. Step 12.

Enter IOS commands in the correct mode. IOS commands must be entered in the correct mode. For example, configuration changes cannot be made while in privileged EXEC mode. Attempt to enter the command hostname R1 at the privileged EXEC prompt and observe the results: Router# hostname R1 ^ % Invalid input detected at ‘^’ marker. Router#


33

Task 6: Perform Basic Configuration of Router R1 Step 1.


Step 2.


Step 3.

Enter global configuration mode. Router# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line.

End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)#

Step 4.

Configure the router name as R1. Enter the command hostname R1 at the prompt: Router(config)# hostname R1 R1(config)#

Step 5.

Disable DNS lookup with the no ip domain-lookup command. R1(config)# no ip domain-lookup R1(config)#

Why would you want to disable DNS lookup in a lab environment? So that the router does not attempt to look up a DNS entry for a name that is really only a typing error. What would happen if you disabled DNS lookup in a production environment? A router would not be able to resolve names, causing potential problems when the router needs an IP address to address a packet. Step 6.

Configure an EXEC mode . Configure an EXEC mode using the enable secret command. Use class for the argument: R1(config)# enable secret class R1(config)#

The enable secret command is used to provide an additional layer of security over the enable command. The enable secret command provides better security by storing the enable secret using a nonreversible cryptographic function. The added layer of security encryption is useful in environments where the crosses the network or is stored on a TFTP server. When both the enable and enable secret s are configured, the enable is overridden by enable secret and therefore has no meaning in the configuration. To avoid confusion, simply avoid using enable when enable secret is used.

34


Step 7.

Remove the enable . Because the enable secret is configured, the enable is no longer necessary. IOS commands can be removed from the configuration using the no form of the command: R1(config)# no enable R1(config)#

Step 8.

Configure a message-of-the-day banner using the banner motd command. R1(config)# banner motd & Enter TEXT message.

End with the character ‘&’.

******************************** !!!AUTHORIZED ACCESS ONLY!!! ******************************** & R1(config)#

When does this banner display? When a logs in to the router either through Telnet or the console connection. Why should every router have a message-of-the-day banner? To provide a warning against intentional or unintentional unauthorized access. Step 9.

Configure the console on the router. Use cisco as the . When you are finished, exit from line configuration mode: R1(config)# line console 0 R1(config-line)# cisco R1(config-line)# R1(config-line)# exit R1(config)#

Step 10.

Configure the for the virtual terminal lines. Use cisco as the . When you are finished, exit from line configuration mode: R1(config)# line vty 0 4 R1(config-line)# cisco R1(config-line)# R1(config-line)# exit R1(config)#

Step 11.

Configure the FastEthernet 0/0 interface with the IP address 192.168.1.1/24. R1(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0 R1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 R1(config-if)# no shutdown %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up R1(config-if)#


Step 12.

35

Use the description command to provide a description for this interface. R1(config-if)# description R1 LAN R1(config-if)#

Step 13.

Configure the Serial 0/0/0 interface with the IP address 192.168.2.1/24. Set the clock rate to 64,000.

Note: Because the routers in the labs will not be connected to a live leased line, one of the routers will need to provide the clocking for the circuit. This is normally provided to each of the routers by the service provider. To provide this clocking signal in the lab, one of the routers will need to act as the DCE on the connection. This function is achieved by applying the clock rate 64,000 command on the Serial 0/0/0 interface, where the DCE end of the null modem cable has been connected. The purpose of the clock rate command is discussed further in Chapter 2, “Static Routing.” R1(config-if)# interface serial 0/0/0 R1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0 R1(config-if)# clock rate 64000 R1(config-if)# no shutdown R1(config-if)#

Note: The interface will not be activated until the serial interface on R2 is configured and activated. Step 14.

Use the description command to provide a description for this interface. R1(config-if)# description Link to R2 R1(config-if)#

Step 15.

Use the end command to return to privileged EXEC mode. R1(config-if)# end R1#

Step 16.

Save the R1 configuration. Save the R1 configuration using the copy running-config startup-config command: R1# copy running-config startup-config Building configuration... [OK] R1#


For R2, repeat Steps 1 through 10 from Task 6.

Step 2.

Configure the Serial 0/0/0 interface with the IP address 192.168.2.2/24. R2(config)# interface serial 0/0/0 R2(config-if)# ip address 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0 R2(config-if)# no shutdown %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial0/0/0, changed state to up %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial0/0/0, changed state to up R2(config-if)#

36


Step 3.

Use the description command to provide a description for this interface. R1(config-if)# description Link to R1 R1(config-if)#

Step 4.

Configure the FastEthernet 0/0 interface with the IP address 192.168.3.1/24. R2(config-if)# interface fastethernet 0/0 R2(config-if)# ip address 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0 R2(config-if)# no shutdown %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up R2(config-if)#

Step 5.

Use the description command to provide a description for this interface. R1(config-if)# description R2 LAN R1(config-if)#

Step 6.

Use the end command to return to privileged EXEC mode. R2(config-if)# end R2#

Step 7.


Task 8: Configure IP Addressing on the Host PCs Step 1.

Configure the host PC1. Configure the host PC1 that is attached to R1 with an IP address of 192.168.1.10/24 and a default gateway of 192.168.1.1.

Step 2.



37

Task 9: Examine Router show Commands There are many show commands that you can use to examine the operation of the router. In both privileged EXEC and EXEC modes, the command show ? provides a list of available show commands. The list is considerably longer in privileged EXEC mode than it is in EXEC mode. Step 1.

Examine the show running-config command. The show running-config command is used to display the contents of the currently running configuration file. From privileged EXEC mode on the R1 router, examine the output of the show running-config command. If the --More-- prompt appears, press the Spacebar to view the remainder of the command output: R1# show running-config ! version 12.3 ! hostname R1 ! ! enable secret 5 $1$AFDd$0HCi0iYHkEWR4cegQdTQu/ ! no ip domain-lookup ! interface FastEthernet0/0 description R1 LAN mac-address 0007.eca7.1511 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 duplex auto speed auto ! interface FastEthernet0/1 mac-address 0001.42dd.a220 no ip address duplex auto speed auto shutdown ! interface Serial0/0/0 description Link to R2 ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0 clock rate 64000 ! interface Serial0/0/1 no ip address

shutdown ! interface Vlan1 no ip address shutdown ! ip classless ! ! ! ! line con 0 cisco line vty 0 4 cisco ! end

Step 2.

Examine the show startup-config command. The show startup-config command displays the startup configuration file contained in NVRAM. From privileged EXEC mode on the R1 router, examine the output of the show startup-config command. If the --More-- prompt appears, press the Spacebar to view the remainder of the command output: R1# show startup-config Using 583 bytes ! version 12.3 ! hostname R1 ! ! no ip domain-lookup ! interface FastEthernet0/0 description R1 LAN mac-address 0007.eca7.1511 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 duplex auto speed auto ! interface FastEthernet0/1 mac-address 0001.42dd.a220 no ip address duplex auto speed auto shutdown

Step 3.

Examine the show interfaces command. The show interfaces command displays statistics for all interfaces configured on the router. A specific interface can be added to the end of this command to display the statistics for only that interface. From privileged EXEC mode on the R1 router, examine the output of the show interfaces fastEthernet0/0 command. If the --More-- prompt appears, press the Spacebar to view the remainder of the command output: R1# show interfaces fastEthernet 0/0 FastEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up (connected) Hardware is Lance, address is 0007.eca7.1511 (bia 0002.1625.lbea) Description: R1 LAN Internet address is 192.168.1.1/24 MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit, DLY 100 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255 Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00, Last input 00:00:08, output 00:00:05, output hang never Last clearing of “show interface” counters never Queueing strategy: fifo Output queue :0/40 (size/max) 5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec 5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec

Step 4.

Examine the show version command. The show version command displays information about the currently loaded software version along with hardware and device information. From privileged EXEC mode on the R1 router, examine the output of the show version command. If the --More-- prompt appears, press the Spacebar to view the remainder of the command output: R1# show version Cisco IOS Software, 1841 Software (C1841-IPBASE-M), Version 12.3(14)T7, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2) Technical : http://www.cisco.com/tech Copyright (c) 1986-2006 by Cisco Systems, Inc.

Task 10: Use the ping Command The ping command is a useful tool for troubleshooting Layers 1 though 3 of the OSI model and diagnosing basic network connectivity. This operation can be performed at either the or privileged EXEC modes. Using ping sends an ICMP packet to the specified device and then waits for a reply. Pings can be sent from a router or a host PC. Step 1.

Use the ping command to test connectivity between the R1 router and PC1. R1# ping 192.168.1.10 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.1.10, timeout is 2 seconds: .!!!! Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 72/79/91 ms

Each exclamation point (!) indicates a successful echo. Each period (.) on the display indicates that the application on the router timed out while it waited for a packet echo from a target. The first ping packet failed because the router did not have an ARP table entry for the destination address of the IP packet. Because there is no ARP table entry, the packet is dropped. The router then sends an ARP request, receives a response, and adds the MAC address to the ARP table. When the next ping packet arrives, it will be forwarded and be successful.

42


Step 2.

Repeat the ping command from R1 to PC1. R1# ping 192.168.1.10 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.1.10, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 72/83/93 ms R1#

All the pings are successful this time because the router has an entry for the destination IP address in the ARP table. Step 3.

Send an extended ping from R1 to PC1. To accomplish this, type ping at the privileged EXEC prompt and press Enter. Fill out the rest of the prompts as shown: R1# ping Protocol [ip]: Target IP address: 192.168.1.10 Repeat count [5]: 10 Datagram size [100]: Timeout in seconds [2]: Extended commands [n]: Sweep range of sizes [n]: Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 10, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.1.10, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!!!!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (10/10), round-trip min/avg/max = 53/77/94 ms R1#

Step 4.

Send a ping from PC1 to R1. In Windows, choose Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. In the Command Prompt window that opens, ping R1 by issuing the following command: C:\> ping 192.168.1.1

The ping should respond with successful results. Step 5.

Send an extended ping from PC1 to R1. To accomplish this, enter the following command at the Windows command prompt: C:\> ping 192.168.1.1 –n 10

There should be ten successful responses from the command.

Task 11: Use the traceroute Command The traceroute command is an excellent utility for troubleshooting the path that a packet takes through an internetwork of routers. It can help to isolate problem links and routers along the way. The traceroute command uses ICMP packets and the error message generated by routers when the packet


43

exceeds its Time to Live (TTL). This operation can be performed at either the or privileged EXEC modes. The Windows version of this command is tracert. Step 1.

Use the traceroute command at the R1 privileged EXEC prompt to discover the path that a packet will take from the R1 router to PC1. R1# traceroute 192.168.1.10 Type escape sequence to abort. Tracing the route to 192.168.1.10 1

192.168.1.10

Task 12: Create a start.txt File Router configurations can be captured to a text (.txt) file and saved for later use. The configuration can be copied back to the router so that the commands do not have to be entered one at a time. Step 1.

View the running configuration of the router using the show running-config command. R1# show running-config ! version 12.3 ! hostname R1 ! ! enable secret 5 $1$J.hq$Ds72Qz86tvpcuW2X3FqBS. ! no ip domain-lookup ! interface FastEthernet0/0 description R1 LAN mac-address 0007.eca7.1511 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 duplex auto speed auto ! interface FastEthernet0/1

Step 5.

Save the open file in Notepad to start.txt.

Task 13: Load the start.txt File onto the R1 Router Step 1.

Erase the current startup configuration of R1. To clear the configuration, issue the erase startup-config command. Press Enter when prompted to [confirm] that you really do want to erase the configuration currently stored in NVRAM. The result should look something like this:

46


R1# erase startup-config Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all files! Continue? [confirm] [OK] Erase of nvram: complete Router#

Step 2.

When the prompt returns, issue the reload command. Answer no if asked to save changes. After the router finishes the boot process, choose not to use the AutoInstall facility, as shown: Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: no Would you like to terminate autoinstall? [yes]: Press Enter to accept default. Press RETURN to get started!

Scenario Instructor note: Skip this lab if the student is required to complete “Lab 1-1: Cabling a Network and Basic Router Configuration (1.5.1).”

In this lab activity, you will create a network that is similar to the one shown in the topology diagram in Figure 1-24. Begin by cabling the network as shown in Figure 1-24. You will then perform the initial router configurations required for connectivity. Use the IP addresses that are provided in the topology diagram to apply an addressing scheme to the network devices. When the network configuration is complete, examine the routing tables to that the network is operating properly. This lab is a shorter version of “Lab 1-1: Cabling a Network and Basic Router Configuration (1.5.1)” and assumes that you are proficient in basic cabling and configuration file management. Table 1-7 shows the IP addressing, subnet, and default gateway information for the devices in the topology. Figure 1-24

Task 1: Cable the Network Cable a network that is similar to the one in Figure 1-24. The output used in this lab is from Cisco 1841 routers. You can use any current router in your lab as long as it has the required interfaces as shown in the topology. Be sure to use the appropriate type of Ethernet cable to connect from host to switch, switch to router, and host to router. Refer to “Lab 1-1: Cabling a Network and Basic Router Configuration (1.5.1),” if you have any trouble connecting the devices. Be sure to connect the serial DCE cable to router R1 and the serial DTE cable to router R2. Answer the following questions: What type of cable is used to connect the Ethernet interface on a host PC to the Ethernet interface on a switch? Straight-through (patch) cable

54


What type of cable is used to connect the Ethernet interface on a switch to the Ethernet interface on a router? Straight-through (patch) cable What type of cable is used to connect the Ethernet interface on a router to the Ethernet interface on a host PC? Crossover cable

Task 2: Erase and Reload the Routers Step 1.

Establish a terminal session to router R1. Refer to Lab 1-1 for a review of terminal emulation and connecting to a router.

Step 2.

Enter privileged EXEC mode: Router> enable Router#

Step 3.

Clear the configuration. To clear the configuration, issue the erase startup-config command. Press Enter when prompted to [confirm] that you really do want to erase the configuration currently stored in NVRAM: Router# erase startup-config Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all files! Continue? [confirm] [OK] Erase of nvram: complete Router#

Step 4.

Reload the configuration. When the prompt returns, issue the reload command. Answer no if asked to save changes. What would happen if you answered yes to the question, “System configuration has been modified. Save?” The current running configuration would be saved to NVRAM, negating the entire purpose of erasing the startup configuration. The router would boot up with a configuration. The result should look something like this: Router# reload System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: no Proceed with reload? [confirm]

Press Enter when prompted to [confirm] that you really do want to reload the router. After the router finishes the boot process, choose not to use the AutoInstall facility, as shown: Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: no Would you like to terminate autoinstall? [yes]: [Press Return] Press Enter to accept default. Press RETURN to get started!


Step 5.

55

Repeat Steps 1 through 4 on router R2 to remove any startup configuration file that might be present.



Step 2.


Step 3.


End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)#

Step 4.

Configure the router name as R1. Enter the command hostname R1 at the prompt: Router(config)# hostname R1 R1(config)#

Step 5.

Disable DNS lookup. Disable DNS lookup with the no ip domain-lookup command: R1(config)# no ip domain-lookup R1(config)#

Why would you want to disable DNS lookup in a lab environment? So that the router does not attempt to look up a DNS entry for a name that is really only a typing error. What would happen if you disabled DNS lookup in a production environment? A router would not be able to resolve names, causing potential problems when the router needs an IP address to address a packet. Step 6.

Configure the EXEC mode . Configure the EXEC mode using the enable secret command. Use class for the : R1(config)# enable secret class R1(config)#

Why is it not necessary to use the enable command? Although both s are listed in the configuration, the enable secret command overrides the enable command.

56


Step 7.

Configure a message-of-the-day banner. Configure a message-of-the-day banner using the banner motd command: R1(config)# banner motd & Enter TEXT message.

End with the character ‘&’.

******************************** !!!AUTHORIZED ACCESS ONLY!!! ******************************** & R1(config)#

When does this banner display? When a logs in to the router either through Telnet or the console connection. Why should every router have a message-of-the-day banner? To provide a warning against intentional or unintentional unauthorized access. Step 8.

Configure the console on the router. Use cisco as the . When you are finished, exit from line configuration mode: R1(config)# line console 0 R1(config-line)# cisco R1(config-line)# R1(config-line)# exit R1(config)#

Step 9.

Configure the for the virtual terminal lines. Use cisco as the . When you are finished, exit from line configuration mode. R1(config)# line vty 0 4 R1(config-line)# cisco R1(config-line)# R1(config-line)# exit R1(config)#

Step 10.

Configure the FastEthernet 0/0 interface. Configure the FastEthernet 0/0 interface with the IP address 192.168.1.1/24: R1(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0 R1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 R1(config-if)# no shutdown %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up R1(config-if)#

Step 11.

Configure the Serial 0/0/0 interface. Configure the Serial 0/0/0 interface with the IP address 192.168.2.1/24. Set the clock rate to 64,000:


57

Note: The purpose of the clock rate command is explained in Chapter 2. R1(config-if)# interface serial 0/0/0 R1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0 R1(config-if)# clock rate 64000 R1(config-if)# no shutdown R1(config-if)#

Note: The interface will be not activated until the serial interface on R2 is configured and activated. Step 12.

Return to privileged EXEC mode. Use the end command to return to privileged EXEC mode: R1(config-if)# end R1#

Step 13.


What is a shorter version of this command? copy run start


For R2, repeat Steps 1 through 9 from Task 3.

Step 2.

Configure the Serial 0/0/0 interface. Configure the Serial 0/0/0 interface with the IP address 192.168.2.2/24: R2(config)# interface serial 0/0/0 R2(config-if)# ip address 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0 R2(config-if)# no shutdown %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial0/0/0, changed state to up %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial0/0/0, changed state to up R2(config-if)#

Step 3.

Configure the FastEthernet 0/0 interface. Configure the FastEthernet 0/0 interface with the IP address 192.168.3.1/24: R2(config-if)# interface fastethernet 0/0 R2(config-if)# ip address 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0 R2(config-if)# no shutdown

58


%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up R2(config-if)#

Step 4.

Return to privileged EXEC mode. Use the end command to return to privileged EXEC mode: R2(config-if)# end R2#

Step 5.

Save the R2 configuration.

Save the R2 configuration using the copy running-config startup-config command: R2# copy running-config startup-config Building configuration... [OK] R2#



Step 2.


Task 6: and Test the Configurations Step 1.

For now, you are interested in seeing that both R1 and R2 have two routes. Both routes are designated with a C. These are the directly connected networks that were activated when you configured the interfaces on each router. If you do not see two routes for each router as shown in the following output, proceed to Step 2: R1# show ip route Codes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2 E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2 i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2 ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per- static route o - ODR, P - periodic ed static route Gateway of last resort is not set

If both interfaces are up and up, both routes will be in the routing table. this again by using the show ip route command. Step 3.

Test connectivity. Test connectivity by pinging from each host to the default gateway that has been configured for that host. From the host attached to R1, is it possible to ping the default gateway? Yes From the host attached to R2, is it possible to ping the default gateway? Yes If the answer is no for either of the preceding questions, troubleshoot the configurations to find the error using the following systematic process:

60


1.

Check the PCs. Are they physically connected to the correct router? (Connection could be through a switch or directly.) Yes Are link lights blinking on all relevant ports? Yes

2.

Check the PC configurations. Do they match the topology diagram? Yes

3.

Check the router interfaces using the show ip interface brief command. Are the interfaces up and up? Yes

If your answer to all three steps is yes, you should be able to successfully ping the default gateway. Step 4.

Test connectivity between router R1 and R2. From router R1, is it possible to ping R2 using the ping 192.168.2.2 command? Yes From router R2, is it possible to ping R1 using the ping 192.168.2.1 command? Yes If the answer is no for either of the preceding questions, troubleshoot the configurations to find the error using the following systematic process: 1.

Check the cabling. Are the routers physically connected? Yes Are link lights blinking on all relevant ports? Yes

2.

Check the router configurations. Do they match the topology diagram? Yes Did you configure the clock rate command on the DCE side of the link? Yes

3.

Check the router interfaces using the show ip interface brief command. Are the interfaces up and up? Yes If your answer to all three steps is yes, you should be able to successfully ping from R2 to R1 and from R2 to R3.

Task 7: Reflection Step 1.

Attempt to ping from the host connected to R1 to the host connected to R2. This ping should be unsuccessful.

Step 2.

Attempt to ping from the host connected to R1 to router R2. This ping should be unsuccessful.

Step 3.

Attempt to ping from the host connected to R2 to router R1. This ping should be unsuccessful. What is missing from the network that is preventing communication between these devices? After reading the chapter text, the student should be able to state that this network is missing either static or dynamic routing (or both!).

Packet Tracer Exercise 2-1 Now you are ready to use Packet Tracer to apply your documented addressing scheme. Open file LSG02-0201.pka on the CD-ROM that accompanies this book to perform this exercise using Packet Tracer.

Task 1: Build the Chapter Topology Step 1.

Connect the devices according to Figure 2-1. Be sure to connect cable to the correct interface if an interface designation is shown.

Step 2.

Your completion percentage should be 14%. If not, click Check Results to see which required components are not yet completed.

Task 2: Configure PCs Step 1.

Use the .10 address to configure each of the PCs with an address from the LAN it is attached to. Each PC should also have connectivity with its respective default gateway.

72


Step 2.


After completing this task, save your Packet Tracer file to use again in the next section. Save the file as LSG02-0201-task2.pkt.

Router Configuration Review To configure static routing and dynamic routing protocols, you need to know only the basic IOS commands. You should already be familiar with these commands. The following sections are only meant as a review. For more detailed explanations, refer to Chapter 1 and the Network Fundamentals course.

Configuring and ing Interfaces Exercise In this exercise, you will review the basic interface configuration for the HQ router shown earlier in Figure 2-1. HQ does not yet have any routes. You should add two routes by configuring the Fast Ethernet interfaces for HQ. By default, all router interfaces are shut down, or turned off. To enable this interface, use the no shutdown command, which changes the interface from istratively down to up. What commands will configure the Fast Ethernet interfaces with IP addresses and activate the interfaces? HQ(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0 HQ(config-if)# ip address 172.16.0.1 255.255.0.0 HQ(config-if)# no shutdown UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up *Mar 1 01:16:09.214: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up HQ(config-if)# interface fastethernet 0/1 HQ(config-if)# ip address 172.17.0.1 255.255.0.0 HQ(config-if)# no shutdown UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/1, changed state to up *Mar 1 01:16:09.214: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up

The IOS sends two messages to the console after you activate the interface. Both of these messages are important. The first changed state to up message indicates that the physical layer is up. If you do not get this first message, be sure that the interface is properly connected to a switch or a hub. The second changed state to up message indicates that the data link layer is operational. The IOS often sends unsolicited messages to the console while you are typing a command. To keep the unsolicited output separate from your input, enter line configuration mode for the console port and add the logging synchronous command. After an interface is configured, it can be verified using various commands. The show interfaces fastethernet 0/0 command shows that the Fast Ethernet interface is up and the line protocol is up. The no shutdown command changed the interface from istratively down and down to up and up. This command also shows the MAC address for the interface: FastEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up Hardware is AmdFE, address is 000c.3010.9260 (bia 000c.3010.9260) Internet address is 172.16.0.1/24

The show ip interface brief command also verifies that an interface is up and up: Interface

The following partial output is from the show running-config command. It also shows the current configuration of this interface. When the interface is disabled, this command displays shutdown under the interface; however, when the interface is enabled, no shutdown is not displayed: interface FastEthernet0/0 ip address 172.16.0.1 255.255.255.0

As explained in Chapter 1, each interface must belong to a separate subnet/network. Next, configure the Serial 0/0/0 and Serial 0/0/1 interface on router HQ. The process to configure a serial interface is similar to the process to configure a Fast Ethernet interface. For the data communications equipment (DCE) side on the WAN link, you need to add the clock rate command. HQ will provide signaling to B1 and B2 at 64,000 kbps: HQ(config)# interface serial 0/0/0 HQ(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.252 HQ(config-if)# clock rate 64000 HQ(config-if)# no shutdown %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial0/0/0, changed state to down HQ(config)# interface serial 0/0/1 HQ(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.5 255.255.255.252 HQ(config-if)# clock rate 64000 HQ(config-if)# no shutdown

%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial0/0/1, changed state to down

You can display the current state of Serial 0/0/0 using the show interfaces serial 0/0/0 command: HQ# show interfaces serial 0/0/0 Serial0/0/1 is down, line protocol is down Hardware is GT96K Serial Internet address is 10.0.0.5/30 MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255

Why is the link still down? The link is down because we have not yet configured and enabled the other end of the serial link.


75

If a cable is connected between the two routers and neither end of the cable is labeled DCE or DTE, you can use the show controllers command to determine which end of the cable is attached to that interface: HQ# show controllers serial 0/0/0 Interface Serial0/0/0 Hardware is PowerQUICC MPC860 DCE V.35, no clock

Exploring Directly Connected Networks Before a router can forward packets to a remote network, it must have active directly connected networks. Each directly connected network on the router is a member of a different network or subnet.

Directly Connected Networks Exercise In this exercise, you will review the tools used to monitor and troubleshoot directly connected networks. Monitoring Directly Connected Networks To that directly connected networks are installed, use the show ip route command to view the routing table. Directly connected networks are listed with the code C. In contrast to show commands, debug commands can be used to monitor router operations in real time. The debug ip routing command will let you see any changes that the router performs when adding or removing routes. In Task 3 of Packet Tracer Exercise 2-1, you will observe HQ adding a route using this monitoring command, as shown in Example 2-1. Example 2-1

The preceding output was organized for better readability, and the output that informed you that the route was added is highlighted. Often, IOS will mix the console messages with monitoring output, which can sometimes be confusing. Example 2-2 shows the output before it was better organized. Example 2-2

You can disable the monitoring command, debug ip routing, by using the undebug ip routing command or the undebug all command. How do you change an IP address or subnet mask for an interface? Simply reconfigure the IP address and subnet mask for that interface. This change will overwrite the previous entry. What two commands remove a directly connected network from a router? What does each command do? Use these two commands: shutdown and no ip address. The shutdown command will disable the interface. The no ip address command will remove the IP address and subnet mask from the interface. Accessing Devices on Directly Connected Networks To return to the configuration of the devices in Figure 2-1, we will now assume that all directly connected networks are configured for HQ, B1, and B2. You will complete these configurations in Task 3 of Packet Tracer Exercise 2-1. Example 2-20 shows the rest of the configurations for routers R2 and R3. What command is the quickest and most efficient way to that all the configured interfaces are up and up? show ip interface brief

What command verifies that all directly connected networks are installed for routing? show ip route

At this point in the configuration of HQ, B1, and B2, what devices and networks are reachable? Explain by listing the devices that HQ can reach. When a router only has its interfaces configured, and the routing table contains the directly connected networks but no other routes, only devices on those directly connected networks are reachable. For example, HQ can reach B1, B2, ISP, PC5, and PC6. What do these devices all have in common with HQ? Each shares a directly connected network with HQ. What are the IP addresses (excluding its own) that HQ can successfully ping? 172.16.0.10 (PC5) 172.17.0.10 (PC6) 10.0.0.2 (B1 S0/0/0)

To monitor routes as they are installed in the routing table, turn on the appropriate debug command.

■

Use the IP address and subnet mask according to what you filled in for Table 2-1 earlier.

■

Configure the description for each interface. (Packet Tracer will not grade this configuration.)

■

Configure clocking signals at 64,000 bps where necessary.

■

Activate the interfaces.

■

When finished, disable monitoring.

Step 3.


Step 4.

Save your configurations for HQ, B1, and B2.


Cisco Discovery Protocol Exercise Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a powerful network-monitoring and -troubleshooting tool. CDP is an information-gathering tool used by network s to get information about directly connected Cisco devices. CDP is a proprietary tool that enables you to access a summary of protocol and address information about Cisco devices that are directly connected. In this exercise, you will review CDP features and operations. You will also list the commands used to configure and CDP.


79

Network Discovery with CDP By default, each Cisco device sends periodic messages to directly connected Cisco devices. These messages are known as CDP ments. A Cisco device frequently has other Cisco devices on the network. These devices are known as its CDP neighbors. CDP can be used as a network discovery tool, helping you to build a logical topology of a network when such documentation is missing or lacking in detail. Layer 3 Neighbors At this point in the chapter’s topology configuration, you only have directly connected neighbors. At Layer 3, routing protocols consider neighbors to be devices that share the same network address space. In Figure 2-1, which routers are Layer 3 neighbors? B1 and HQ HQ and B2 HQ and ISP Layer 2 Neighbors CDP operates at Layer 2 only. Therefore, CDP neighbors are Cisco devices that are directly connected physically and share the same data link. Assuming that all routers and switches are Cisco devices running CDP, list the CDP neighbors for the following devices. HQ CDP Neighbors B1, B2, ISP, S5, and S6 B1 CDP Neighbors HQ, S1, S2, S3, and S4 B2 CDP Neighbors HQ, S7, S8, S9, S10 ISP CDP Neighbors HQ How many CDP neighbors would each of the ten switches have? Each switch only has one CDP neighbor—the directly connected router. Only Cisco devices can be CDP neighbors. CDP show Commands What show command will list a Cisco device’s Layer 2 neighbors? List both versions of the command. show cdp neighbors and show cdp neighbors detail What important information that can be used for network discovery does the detailed version of this command show? The IP address of the directly connected CDP neighbor (if it has one)

80


How is the information beneficial to network discovery? For network discovery situations, knowing the IP address of the CDP neighbor is often all the information needed to telnet into that device. With an established Telnet session, information can be gathered about a neighbor’s directly connected Cisco devices. In this fashion, you can telnet around a network and build a logical topology. Disabling CDP Why is CDP considered a security risk? Because some IOS versions send out CDP ments by default, a packet sniffer can easily glean information about devices on the network. What command disables CDP globally? Include the router prompt in your answer. Router(config)# no cdp run

If you want to use CDP but need to stop CDP ments on a particular interface, what command would you use? Include the router prompt in your answer. Router(config-if)# no cdp enable

In Task 4 for Packet Tracer Exercise 2-1, you will adjust the CDP settings so that only HQ, B1, and B2 are sending each other CDP ments.


Packet Tracer Exercise 2-1: Task 4—Configure CDP Open your LSG02-0201-task3.pka saved version of this Packet Tracer Exercise and complete the following steps: Step 1.

CDP is not enabled for HQ, B1, or B2. Enter the commands to start CDP.

Step 2.

Assume that network policy states that CDP ments should only be sent between directly connected, company-owned routers:

Step 3.

■

Configure HQ, B1, and B2 to send CDP updates across the serial links to each other.

■

HQ should not send CDP ments to ISP.

■

HQ, B1, and B2 should not send CDP ments out LAN interfaces.



Static Routes with Next-Hop Addresses As discussed previously, a router can learn about remote networks in one of two ways: ■

Manually, from configured static routes

■

Automatically, from a dynamic routing protocol

The rest of this chapter focuses on configuring static routes. In the following sections, you practice your knowledge and skills related to configuring static routes with a next-hop address.


81

Static Route Command Syntax Exercise The command for configuring a static route is ip route. The complete syntax for configuring a static route is as follows: ip route prefix mask {ip-address | interface-type interface-number [ip-address]} [distance] [name] [permanent | track number] [tag tag]

What is the a simpler version of this command’s syntax? Router(config)# ip route network-address subnet-mask {ip-address | exit-interface}

Explain the parameters of the command. ■

network-address: Destination network address of the remote network to be added to the routing table.

■

subnet-mask: Subnet mask of the remote network to be added to the routing table. The subnet mask can be modified to summarize a group of networks.

One or both of the following parameters must also be used: ■

ip-address: Commonly referred to as the next-hop router’s IP address

■

exit-interface: Outgoing interface that would be used in forwarding packets to the destination network

Static Routes with Next-Hop Address Exercise Evaluating the Routing Table Referring to Figure 2-1, neither static nor dynamic routing has yet been configured. However, all interfaces are in the up and up state. By referring to the topology only, you should be able to list the details of the routes that are currently shown in each router’s routing table. However, you can also refer to your saved version of Packet Tracer Exercise 2-1 (LSG02-0201-task4.pka). HQ: Five directly connected routes coded with a “C” in the routing table: one for each of the LAN interfaces (172.16.0.0/16, 172.17.0.0/16) and three for each of the serial interfaces (10.0.0.0/30, 10.0.0.4/30, 209.165.201.0/30) B1: Five directly connected routes code with a “C” in the routing table: four for each of the LAN interfaces (192.168.20.0/24, 192.168.21.0/24, 192.168.22.0/24, 192.168.23.0/24) and one for the S0/0/0 interface (10.0.0.0/30) B2: Five directly connected routes code with a “C” in the routing table: four for each of the LAN interfaces (192.168.160.0/24, 192.168.161.0/24, 192.168.162.0/24, 192.168.163.0/24) and one for the S0/0/0 interface (10.0.0.4/30) Each router needs to have a route pointing to the other remote networks. For this exercise, you will disregard the ISP router. You will add the ISP router in the section “ Configuring Default Static Routes Exercise,” later in the chapter.

82


Determining the Static Routing Needs Not counting the WAN link to ISP and the Web Server LAN, how many total networks are there in the topology? (Hint: Don’t forget the WAN links between HQ and B1 and B2.) 12 networks What networks does HQ not have listed in its routing table? All the LAN networks attached to B1 and B2—a total of eight networks. Assuming that you will not summarize these networks, how many static routes need to be configured on HQ? 8 What networks does B1 not have listed in its routing table? All the LAN networks attached to HQ and B2 as well as the WAN link between HQ and B2—a total of seven networks. Assuming that you will not summarize these networks, how many static routes need to be configured on B1? 7 What networks does B2 not have listed in its routing table? All the LAN networks attached to HQ and B1 as well as the WAN link between HQ and B1—a total of seven networks. Assuming that you will not summarize these networks, how many static routes need to be configured on B2? 7 List the Static Route Commands For each router, record the static route commands you would use to configure the static routes with the next-hop IP address specified. Static routes with the next-hop address for HQ: !Static routes to B1 LANs ip route 192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.2 ip route 192.168.21.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.2 ip route 192.168.22.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.2 ip route 192.168.23.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.2 !Static routes to B2 LANs ip route 192.168.160.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.6 ip route 192.168.161.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.6 ip route 192.168.162.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.6 ip route 192.168.163.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.6

Task 7: Save the Packet Tracer File Save your Packet Tracer file as LSG02-0201-end.pka.

Configuring a Static Route with an Exit Interface In the previous sections, you saw how a static route can be configured with a next-hop address. Using a next-hop address is a correct method in configuring static routes. However, in some situations, using an exit interface can result in a more efficient route lookup process.

Static Routes with an Exit Interface Exercise Explain in detail the difference between the next-hop address argument and the exit interface argument. The next-hop argument requires a recursive route lookup, that is, the router still does not know the exit interface and will have to look up the next-hop IP address in the routing table to locate the exit interface. If the exit interface argument is used, no recursive lookup is necessary, and the router can immediately forward the packet to the outbound interface. The network shown in Figure 2-1 already has static routes with next-hop addresses configured. Before configuring static routes with exit interfaces, you will need to remove the next-hop versions. How do you remove a static route from the configuration? Use the no form of the ip route command. List the Static Route Commands Assume that all the next-hop static routes have been removed. For each router in Figure 2-1, record the static route commands you would use to configure the static routes with an exit interface specified. Static routes with an exit interface for HQ: !Static routes to B1 LANs ip route 192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0 Serial0/0/0 ip route 192.168.21.0 255.255.255.0 Serial0/0/0 ip route 192.168.22.0 255.255.255.0 Serial0/0/0 ip route 192.168.23.0 255.255.255.0 Serial0/0/0 !Static routes to B2 LANs ip route 192.168.160.0 255.255.255.0 Serial0/0/1 ip route 192.168.161.0 255.255.255.0 Serial0/0/1 ip route 192.168.162.0 255.255.255.0 Serial0/0/1 ip route 192.168.163.0 255.255.255.0 Serial0/0/1

Packet Tracer Exercise 2-2 Now you are ready to test your answers to the “Static Routes with an Exit Interface Exercise” by configuring static routes in Packet Tracer. Open file LSG02-0202.pka on the CD-ROM that accompanies this book to perform this exercise using Packet Tracer.

Task 1: Remove Static Routes with Next-Hop Addresses Step 1.

Before configuring static routes with exit interfaces, remove the static routes that are using next-hop addresses.

Step 2.

To that all the static routes are removed, view the routing tables on HQ, B1, and B2. Only directly connected networks should be listed. Your completion percentage should still be 0%. No commands are graded yet.

Task 2: Static Route Configuration with Exit Interface Step 1.

Configure static routes for HQ according to your answers in the section “Static Routes with an Exit Interface Exercise.” Your completion percentage should be 36%. If not, click Check Results to see which required components are not yet completed.

Step 2.

Configure static routes for B1 according to your answers in the section “Static Routes with an Exit Interface Exercise.” Your completion percentage should be 68%. If not, click Check Results to see which required components are not yet completed.

Step 3.

Configure static routes for H3 according to your answers in the section “Static Routes with an Exit Interface Exercise.” Your completion percentage should be 100%. If not, click Check Results to see which required components are not yet completed.

86


Task 3: Connectivity All PCs and routers should have end-to-end connectivity. Pinging from any source to any destination (with the exception of ISP and the Web Server) should be successful. You can also click Check Results and then click the Connectivity Tests tab to see whether all the connectivity tests are successful.


Summary and Default Static Routes A router can have a specific route entry in its routing table for a destination network, or that same network can be part of a less specific route entry. The less specific route entry can be a summary route or a default route.

Calculating Summary Route Exercises A summary route is a single route that can be used to represent multiple routes. Summary routes are generally a set of contiguous networks that have the same exit interface and/or next-hop IP address. Use the following exercises to practice determining the summary route for a collection of subnets. Referring to Figure 2-2, what summary route would R1 send to BBR (Backbone Router) for the four networks? Write your answer in the space provided. Figure 2-2

Summary Route Example

192.168.1.0/27

192.168.1.32/27

R1 192.168.1.64/27

BBR Summary Route 192.168.1.0/25

192.168.1.96/27

Use the following steps to calculate a summary route: 1.

Write out the networks that you want to summarize in binary, as shown following Step 4.

2.

To find the subnet mask for summarization, start with the leftmost bit.

3.

Work your way to the right, finding all the bits that match consecutively.


4.

87

When you find a column of bits that do not match, stop. You are at the summary boundary. 11000000.10101000.00000001.00000000 11000000.10101000.00000001.00100000 11000000.10101000.00000001.01000000 11000000.10101000.00000001.01100000

5.

Count the number of leftmost matching bits, which in this example is 25. This number becomes your subnet mask for the summarized route, /25 or 255.255.255.128.

6.

To find the network address for summarization, copy the matching 25 bits and add all 0 bits to the end to make 32 bits. In this example, the network address is 192.168.1.0.

Summary Route Exercise 1 Referring to Figure 2-3, what summary route would R1 send to BBR for the four networks? Write your answer in the space provided. Figure 2-3

Summary Route Exercise 1 (Answer)

192.168.1.0/25

192.168.1.128/26

Combining Static Routes into Summary Routes Exercise The current configuration of the chapter topology (Figure 2-1) with static routes works fine. However, you can reduce the size of the routing tables by summarizing contiguous address space into one summary route. HQ Summary Routes HQ will need two summary routes: one for the LANs attached to B1 and one for the LANs attached to B2. Calculate the summary route for the LANs attached to B1.

92


B1 LANs binary: 11000000.10101000.00010100.00000000 11000000.10101000.00010101.00000000 11000000.10101000.00010110.00000000 11000000.10101000.00010111.00000000 Summary: 192.168.20.0/22 Record the command that HQ will use to summarize the B1 LANs. Use the exit interface version of the static route command. ip route 192.168.20.0 255.255.252.0 Serial0/0/0

Calculate the summary route for the LANs attached to B2. B2 LANs in binary: 11000000.10101000.10100000.00000000 11000000.10101000.10100001.00000000 11000000.10101000.10100010.00000000 11000000.10101000.10100011.00000000 Summary: 192.168.160.0/22 Record the command HQ will use to summarize the B2 LANs. Use the exit interface version of the static route command. ip route 192.168.160.0.0 255.255.252.0 Serial0/0/1

B1 Summary Routes B1 will need two summary routes: one for the LANs attached to B2 and one for the LANs attached to HQ. You already calculated the summary for the LANs attached to B2. Record the command that B1 will use to summarize the B2 LANs. Use the exit interface version of the static route command. ip route 192.168.160.0.0 255.255.252.0 Serial0/0/0

Calculate the summary route for the LANs attached to HQ. HQ LANs in binary: 10101100.00010000.00000000.00000000 10101100.00010001.00000000.00000000 Summary: 172.16.0.0/15 Record the command that B1 will use to summarize the HQ LANs. Use the exit interface version of the static route command. ip route 172.16.0.0 255.254.0.0 Serial0/0/0

B2 Summary Routes B2 will need two summary routes: one for the LANs attached to B1 and one for the LANs attached to HQ.


93

You already calculated the summary for both of the LANs attached to B1 and the LANs attached to HQ. Record the command that B2 will use to summarize the B1 LANs. Use the exit interface version of the static route command. ip route 192.168.20.0 255.255.252.0 Serial0/0/0

Record the command that B2 will use to summarize the HQ LANs. Use the exit interface version of the static route command. ip route 172.16.0.0 255.254.0.0 Serial0/0/0

Now you can test your answers to the preceding exercise by completing Packet Tracer Exercise 2-3: Summary Route Configuration.

Configuring Default Static Routes Exercise What is the command syntax for a default static route? Router(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 [exit-interface | ip-address ]

What is another name commonly used to refer to default static routes? The quad-zero route. Revisit the chapter topology from Figure 2-1. In this topology, which routers are stub routers? B1 and B2 are stub routers. Stub routers don’t need specific routing information to reach networks beyond their gateway. A stub router can simply use a default route. For example, B1 does not need to know all the LANs attached to B2. B1 only needs to know to send all traffic not destined for a directly connected network to HQ. Currently, both B1 and B2 have two static summary routes. You can reduce the routing table further by removing the summary routes and configuring a default static route. B1 and B2 Default Static Route What command would you enter on both B1 and B2 to configure a default static route with an exit interface? ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Serial0/0/0

HQ Default Static Route HQ will also need a default static route to send traffic to the ISP router. What command would you enter on HQ to configure a default static route with an exit interface? ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Serial0/1/0

Just because a default static route is configured on HQ does not mean remove the static summary routes and expect HQ to still have connectivity to B1 and B2. What would HQ do with traffic destined for a B1 or B2 LAN if the static summary routes are removed? HQ would forward the traffic to ISP, its default route. On HQ, you can leave the summary static routes. ISP Static Summary Routes To finish the configurations, ISP now needs to have four different static summary routes. You already calculated the summaries for the LANs attached to HQ, B1, and B2. List the three static summary routes ISP will use for the LANs. Use the exit-interface argument. ip route 172.16.0.0 255.254.0.0 Serial0/0/0 ip route 192.168.20.0 255.255.252.0 Serial0/0/0 ip route 192.168.160.0 255.255.252.0 Serial0/0/0


95

However, one summary route remains: the WAN links between HQ and B1 and HQ and B2. Calculate the summary route for the WANs attached to HQ. WANs in binary: 00001010.00000000.00000000.00000000 00001010.00000000.00000000.00000100 Summary: 10.0.0.0/29 Record the command that ISP will use to summarize the WANs. Use the exit interface version of the static route command. ip route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 Serial0/0/0

Now you can test your answers to the preceding exercise by completing Packet Tracer Exercise 2-4: Default Route Configuration.

You can also click Check Results and then click the Connectivity Tests tab to see whether all the connectivity tests are successful.


Managing and Troubleshooting Static Routes It is important to be able to properly manage and troubleshoot static routes. When a static route is no longer needed, that static route should be deleted from the running and startup configuration files.

Troubleshooting a Missing Route Troubleshooting is a skill that develops as you gain more experience. It is always best to look for the most obvious and simplest issues first, such as an interface still in shutdown mode or an interface with the wrong IP address. After these items have been verified, begin looking for more complicated possibilities, like an error in the static route configuration. List at least four commands that can help you troubleshoot a missing route. Answers will vary. Here are some possible answers. ■

ping

■

traceroute

■

show ip route

■

show ip interface brief

■

show cdp neighbors detail

Document the network implementation

Scenario In this lab activity, you will create a network that is similar to the one shown in the topology diagram in Figure 2-10. Begin by cabling the network as shown in Figure 2-10. You will then perform the initial router configurations required for connectivity. Use the IP addresses provided in Table 2-3 to apply an addressing scheme to the network devices. After completing the basic configuration, test connectivity between the devices on the network. First test the connections between directly connected devices, and then test connectivity between devices that are not directly connected. Static routes must be configured on the routers for end-to-end communication to take place between the network hosts. You will configure the static routes that are needed to allow communication between the hosts. View the routing table after each static route is added to observe how the routing table has changed.

Task 1: Cable, Erase, and Reload the Routers Step 1.

Cable a network that is similar to the one in the topology diagram shown in Figure 2-10.

Step 2.

Clear the configuration on each router. Clear the configuration on each of the routers using the erase startup-config command and then reload the routers. Answer no if asked to save changes.

Task 2: Perform Basic Router Configuration Note: If you have difficulty with any of the commands in this task, see “Lab 1-1: Cabling a Network and Basic Router Configuration (1.5.1).” Step 1.

Use global configuration commands. On the routers, enter global configuration mode and configure the basic global configuration commands, including the following: hostname no ip domain-lookup enable secret

Step 2.

Configure the console and virtual terminal line s on each of the routers:

Step 3.

Add the logging synchronous command to the console and virtual terminal lines. This command is helpful in both lab and production environments and uses the following syntax: Router(config-line)# logging synchronous

100


To synchronize unsolicited messages and debug output with solicited Cisco IOS Software output and prompts for a specific console port line, auxiliary port line, or virtual terminal line, you can use the logging synchronous line configuration command. In other words, the logging synchronous command prevents IOS messages from being delivered to the console or Telnet lines from interrupting your keyboard input. For example, you might have already experienced something similar to the following example: Note: Do not configure R1 interfaces yet. R1(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0 R1(config-if)# ip address 172.16.3.1 255.255.255.0 R1(config-if)# no shutdown R1(config-if)# descri *Mar 1 01:16:08.212: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up *Mar 1 01:16:09.214: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to upption R1(config-if)#

IOS sends unsolicited messages to the console when you activate an interface with the no shutdown command. However, the next command you enter (in this case, description) is interrupted by these messages. The logging synchronous command solves this problem by copying the command entered up to that point down to the next router prompt. R1(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0 R1(config-if)# ip address 172.16.3.1 255.255.255.0 R1(config-if)# no shutdown R1(config-if)# description *Mar 1 01:28:04.242: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up *Mar 1 01:28:05.243: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up R1(config-if)# description

<-- Keyboard input copied after message

R1 is shown here as an example. Add logging synchronous to the console and virtual terminal lines on all routers. R1(config)# line console 0 R1(config-line)# logging synchronous R1(config-line)# line vty 0 4 R1(config-line)# logging synchronous

Step 4.

Add the exec-timeout command to the console and virtual terminal lines. To set the interval that the EXEC command interpreter waits until input is detected, you can use the exec-timeout line configuration command. This command allows you to control the amount of time a console or virtual terminal line can be idle before the session is terminated. The syntax is as follows: Router(config-line)# exec-timeout minutes [seconds]


101

where the parameters are as follows: ■

minutes: Integer that specifies the number of minutes

■

seconds (optional): Additional time intervals in seconds

In a lab environment, you can specify “no timeout” by entering the exec-timeout 0 0 command. This command is helpful because the default timeout for lines is 10 minutes. However, for security purposes, you would not normally set lines to “no timeout” in a production environment. R1 is shown here as an example. Add exec-timeout 0 0 to console and virtual terminal lines on all routers: R1(config)# line console 0 R1(config-line)# exec-timeout 0 0 R1(config-line)# line vty 0 4 R1(config-line)# exec-timeout 0 0

Task 3: Interpreting Debug Output Note: If you already configured IP addressing on R1, please remove all interface commands now before proceeding. R1, R2, and R3 should be configured through the end of Task 2 without any interface configurations. Step 1.

On R1 from privileged EXEC mode, enter the debug ip routing command: R1# debug ip routing IP routing debugging is on

The debug ip routing command shows when routes are added, modified, and deleted from the routing table. For example, every time you successfully configure and activate an interface, Cisco IOS adds a route to the routing table. You can this by observing output from the debug ip routing command. Step 2.

Enter interface configuration mode for R1’s LAN interface. R1# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line.

End with CNTL/Z.

R1(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0

Configure the IP address as specified in the topology diagram. R1(config-if)# ip address 172.16.3.1 255.255.255.0 is_up: 0 state: 6 sub state: 1 line: 1 has_route: False

As soon as you press Enter, Cisco IOS debug output informs you that there is now a route, but its state is False. In other words, the route has not yet been added to the routing table. Why did this occur and what steps should be taken to ensure that the route is entered into the routing table? The route cannot be entered into the routing table until the interface is activated with the no shutdown command.

102


Step 3.

Enter the command necessary to install the route in the routing table. If you are not sure what the correct command is, review the section “Configuring and ing Interfaces Exercise,” earlier in this chapter. After you enter the correct command, you should see debug output. Your output might be slightly different from the following example: is_up: 1 state: 4 sub state: 1 line: 1 has_route: False RT: add 172.16.3.0/24 via 0.0.0.0, connected metric [0/0] RT: NET-RED 172.16.3.0/24 RT: NET-RED queued, Queue size 1 RT: interface FastEthernet0/0 added to routing table %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up is_up: 1 state: 4 sub state: 1 line: 1 has_route: True %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, chan ged state to up is_up: 1 state: 4 sub state: 1 line: 1 has_route: True is_up: 1 state: 4 sub state: 1 line: 1 has_route: True

The new network you configured on the LAN interface is now added to the routing table, as shown in the highlighted output. If you do not see the route added to the routing table, the interface did not come up. Use the following systematic process to troubleshoot your connection: 1.

Check your physical connections to the LAN interface. Is the correct interface attached? yes Your router might have more than one LAN interface. Did you connect the correct LAN interface? yes An interface will not come up unless it detects a carrier detect signal at the physical layer from another device. Is the interface connected to another device such as a hub, switch, or PC? yes

2.

Check link lights. Are all link lights blinking? yes

3.

Check the cabling. Are the correct cables connected to the devices? yes

4.

Has the interface been activated or enabled? yes If you can answer yes to all the proceeding questions, the interface should come up.

Step 4.

Enter the command to that the new route is now in the routing table. Your output should look similar to the following output. There should now be one route in the table for R1. What command did you use? R1# show ip route Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2 E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter area * - candidate default, U - per- static route, o - ODR P - periodic ed static route


103

Gateway of last resort is not set 172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets C

Step 5.


Enter interface configuration mode for R1’s WAN interface connected to R2. R1# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line.

End with CNTL/Z.

R1(config)# interface Serial 0/0/0

Configure the IP address as specified in the topology diagram. R1(config-if)# ip address 172.16.2.1 255.255.255.0 is_up: 0 state: 0 sub state: 1 line: 0 has_route: False

As soon as you press Enter, Cisco IOS debug output informs you that there is now a route, but its state is False. Because R1 is the DCE side of the lab environment, you must specify how fast the bits will be clocked between R1 and R2. Step 6.

Enter the clock rate command on R1. You can specify any valid clocking speed. Use the ? to find the valid rates. Here, we used 64,000 bps. R1(config-if)# clock rate 64000 is_up: 0 state: 0 sub state: 1 line: 0 has_route: False

Some IOS versions display the output shown above every 30 seconds. Why is the state of the route still False? What step must you now take to make sure that the interface is fully configured? The route cannot be entered into the routing table until the interface is activated with the no shutdown command. Step 7.

Enter the command necessary to ensure that the interface is fully configured. If you are not sure what the correct command is, review the section “Configuring and ing Interfaces Exercise,” earlier in this chapter. R1(config-if)# no shutdown

After you enter the correct command, you should see debug output similar to the following example: is_up: 0 state: 0 sub state: 1 line: 0 has_route: False %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial0/0/0, changed state to down

Unlike configuring the LAN interface, fully configuring the WAN interface does not always guarantee that the route will be entered in the routing table, even if your cable connections are correct. The other side of the WAN link must also be configured.

Step 8.

If possible, establish a separate terminal session by consoling into R2 from another workstation. Doing this allows you to observe the debug output on R1 when you make changes on R2. You can also use the debug ip routing command on R2. R2# debug ip routing IP routing debugging is on

Enter interface configuration mode for R2’s WAN interface connected to R1. R2# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line.

End with CNTL/Z.

R2(config)# interface serial 0/0/0

Configure the IP address as specified in the topology diagram. R2(config-if)# ip address 172.16.2.2 255.255.255.0 is_up: 0 state: 6 sub state: 1 line: 0

Step 9.

Enter the command necessary to ensure that the interface is fully configured. If you are not sure what the correct command is, review the section “Configuring and ing Interfaces Exercise,” earlier in this chapter. R2(config-if)# no shutdown

After you enter the correct command, you should see debug output similar to the following example: is_up: 0 state: 4 sub state: 1 line: 0 %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial0/0/0, changed state to up is_up: 1 state: 4 sub state: 1 line: 0 RT: add 172.16.2.0/24 via 0.0.0.0, connected metric [0/0] RT: interface Serial0/0/0 added to routing table is_up: 1 state: 4 sub state: 1 line: 0 %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial0/0/0, changed state to up is_up: 1 state: 4 sub state: 1 line: 0

The new network that you configured on the WAN interface is now added to the routing table, as shown in the highlighted output. If you do not see the route added to the routing table, the interface did not come up. Use the following systematic process to troubleshoot your connection: 1.

Check your physical connections between the two WAN interfaces for R1 and R2. Is the correct interface attached? yes Your router has more than one WAN interface. Did you connect the correct WAN interface? yes An interface will not come up unless it detects a link beat at the physical layer from another device. Is the interface connected to the other router’s interface? yes


105

2.

Check link lights. Are all link lights blinking? yes

3.

Check the cabling. R1 must have the DCE side of the cable attached, and R2 must have the DTE side of the cable attached. Are the correct cables connected to the routers? yes

4.

Has the interface been activated or enabled? yes If you can answer yes to all the proceeding questions, the interface should come up.

Step 10.

Enter the command to that the new route is now in the routing table for R1 and R2. Your output should look similar to the following output. There should now be two routes in the routing table for R1 and one route in the table for R2. What command did you use? R1# show ip route Codes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2 E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2 i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2 ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per- static route o - ODR, P - periodic ed static route Gateway of last resort is not set 172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 2 subnets C

Step 11.


Turn off debugging on both routers using either the no debug ip routing or the undebug all command. R1(config-if)# end R1# no debug ip routing IP routing debugging is off

106


Task 4: Finish Configuring Router Interfaces Step 1.

Configure the remaining R2 interfaces. Finish configuring the remaining interfaces on R2 according to the topology diagram in Figure 2-10 and the addressing information in Table 2-3.

Step 2.

Configure R3 interfaces. Console into R3 and configure the necessary interfaces according to the topology diagram in Figure 2-10 and the addressing information in Table 2-3.


Configure the host PC2. Configure the host PC1 with an IP address of 172.16.3.10/24 and a default gateway of 172.16.3.1.

Step 2.


Step 3.


Task 6: Test and the Configurations Step 1.

Test connectivity. Test connectivity by pinging from each host to the default gateway that has been configured for that host. From the host PC1, is it possible to ping the default gateway? yes From the host PC2, is it possible to ping the default gateway? yes From the host PC3, is it possible to ping the default gateway? yes If the answer is no for any of these questions, troubleshoot the configurations to find the error using the following systematic process: 1.

Check the cabling. (Connection could be through a switch or directly.) Are the PCs physically connected to the correct router? yes Are link lights blinking on all relevant ports? yes

2.

Check the PC configurations. Do they match the topology diagram? yes

3.

Check the router interfaces using the show ip interface brief command. Are all relevant interfaces up and up? yes If your answer to all three steps is yes, you should be able to successfully ping the default gateway.


Step 2.

107

Use the ping command to test connectivity between directly connected routers. From router R2, is it possible to ping R1 at 172.16.2.1? yes From router R2, is it possible to ping R3 at 192.168.1.1? yes If the answer is no for any of these questions, troubleshoot the configurations to find the error using the following systematic process: 1.

Check the cabling. Are the routers physically connected? yes Are link lights blinking on all relevant ports? yes

2.

Check the router configurations. Do they match the topology diagram in Figure 2-10? yes Did you configure the clock rate command on the DCE side of the link? yes

3.

Has the interface been activated or enabled? yes

4.

Check the router interfaces using the show ip interface brief command. Are the interfaces up and up? yes If your answer to all three steps is yes, you should be able to successfully ping from R2 to R1 and from R2 to R3.

Step 3.

Use the ping command to check connectivity between devices that are not directly connected. From the host PC3, is it possible to ping the host PC1? no From the host PC3, is it possible to ping the host PC2? no From the host PC2, is it possible to ping the host PC1? no From the router R1, is it possible to ping router R3? no These pings should all fail. Why? At this point, routers only know about directly connected networks.

Task 7: Gather Information Step 1.

Check the status of interfaces. Check the status of the interfaces on each router with the show ip interface brief command. The following output is for R2: R2# show ip interface brief Interface

Are all the relevant interfaces on each router activated (that is, in the up and up state)? yes How many interfaces are activated on R1 and R3? 2 Why are there three activated interfaces on R2? R2 has two WAN links and a LAN link. Step 2.

View the routing table information for all three routers using the correct command. Begin with R1.

What networks are present in the topology diagram but not in the routing table for R3? 172.16.1.0/24, 172.16.2.0/24, 172.16.3.0/24 Why are all the networks not in the routing tables for each of the routers? The routers are not configured with static or dynamic routing. Therefore, routers only know about the directly connected networks. What can be added to the network so that devices that are not directly connected can ping each other? Static routes.

Task 8: Configure a Static Route Using a Next-Hop Address Step 1.

To configure static routes with a next-hop address specified, use the following syntax: Router(config)# ip route network-address subnet-mask ip-address

where: ■

network-address indicates the destination network address of the remote network to be added to the routing table.

■

subnet-mask indicates the subnet mask of the remote network to be added to the routing table. The subnet mask can be modified to summarize a group of networks.

■

ip-address indicates what is commonly referred to as the next-hop router’s IP address.

On the R3 router, configure a static route to the 172.16.1.0 network using the Serial 0/0/1 interface of R2 as the next-hop address. R3(config)# ip route 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.2 R3(config)#

110


Step 2.

View the routing table to the new static route entry. Notice that the route is coded with an S, which means that the route is a static route. R3# show ip route Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2 E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, * - candidate default U - per- static route, o - ODR Gateway of last resort is not set 172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets S

With this route entered in the routing table, any packet that matches the first 24 leftmost bits of 172.16.1.0/24 will be forwarded to the next-hop router at 192.168.1.2. What interface will R3 use to forward packets to the 172.16.1.0/24 network? Serial 0/0/1 Assume that the following packets have arrived at R3 with the indicated destination addresses. Will R3 discard the packet or forward the packet? If R3 forwards the packet, with what interface will R3 send the packet? Packet

Although R3 will forward packets to destinations for which there is a route, this does not mean that a packet will arrive safely at the final destination. Step 3.

Use ping to check connectivity between the host PC3 and the host PC2. From the host PC3, is it possible to ping the host PC2? no These pings should fail. The pings will arrive at PC2 if you have configured and verified all devices through Task 7, “Gather Information.” PC2 will send a ping reply to PC3. However, the ping reply will be discarded at R2 because R2 does not have a return route to the 192.168.2.0 network in the routing table.

Step 4.

On the R2 router, configure a static route to reach the 192.168.2.0 network. What is the next-hop address to which R2 would send a packet destined for the 192.168.2.0/24 network?


111

R2(config)# ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 R2(config)#

Step 5.

View the routing table to the new static route entry. Notice that the route is coded with an S, which means the route is a static route. R2# show ip route Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2 E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, * - candidate default U - per- static route, o - ODR Gateway of last resort is not set 172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 2 subnets

Use ping to check connectivity between the host PC3 and the host PC2. From the host PC3, is it possible to ping the host PC2? yes This ping should be successful.

Task 9: Configure a Static Route Using an Exit Interface To configure static routes with an exit interface specified, use the following syntax: Router(config)# ip route network-address subnet-mask exit-interface

where: ■

network-address indicates the destination network address of the remote network to be added to the routing table.

■

subnet-mask indicates the subnet mask of the remote network to be added to the routing table. The subnet mask can be modified to summarize a group of networks.

■

exit-interface indicates the outgoing interface that would be used in forwarding packets to the destination network.

Step 1.

On the R3 router, configure a static route. On the R3 router, configure a static route to the 172.16.2.0 network using the Serial 0/0/0 interface of the R3 router as the exit interface. R3(config)# ip route 172.16.2.0 255.255.255.0 Serial0/0/1 R3(config)#

112


Step 2.

View the routing table to the new static route entry. R3# show ip route Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2 E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, * - candidate default U - per- static route, o - ODR Gateway of last resort is not set 172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 2 subnets S

Use the show running-config command to the static routes that are currently configured on R3. R3# show running-config Building configuration... ! hostname R3 ! interface FastEthernet0/0 ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0 ! interface Serial0/0/0 no ip address shutdown ! interface Serial0/0/1 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 ! ip route 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.2 ip route 172.16.2.0 255.255.255.0 Serial0/0/1 ! end

How would you remove either of these routes from the configuration? Use the no form of the command. For example, no ip route 172.16.2.0 255.255.255.0 S 0/0/1. Step 3.

On the R2 router, configure a static route.


113

On the R2 router, configure a static route to the 172.16.3.0 network using the Serial 0/0/0 interface of the R2 router as the exit interface. R2(config)# ip route 172.16.3.0 255.255.255.0 Serial0/0/0 R2(config)#

Step 4.

View the routing table to the new static route entry. R2# show ip route Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2 E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, * - candidate default U - per- static route, o - ODR Gateway of last resort is not set 172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 3 subnets C

192.168.2.0/24 [1/0] via 192.168.1.1

At this point, R2 has a complete routing table with valid routes to all five networks shown in the topology diagram. Does this mean that R2 can receive ping replies from all destinations shown in the topology diagram? no Why or why not? Although R2 can route to all networks in the topology, this does not guarantee that other routers can route back to R2. Step 5.

Use ping to check connectivity between the host PC2 and PC1. This ping should fail because the R1 router does not have a return route to the 172.16.1.0 network in the routing table.

Task 10: Configure a Default Static Route In the previous steps, you configured the router for specific destination routes. But could you do this for every route on the Internet? No. The router and you would be overwhelmed. To minimize the size of the routing tables, add a default static route. A router uses the default static route when there is not a better, more specific route to a destination. Instead of filling the routing table of R1 with static routes, you could assume that R1 is a stub router. This means that R2 is the default gateway for R1. If R1 has packets to route that do not belong to any of R1’s directly connected networks, R1 should send the packet to R2. However, you must explicitly configure R1 with a default route before it will send packets with unknown destinations to R2. Otherwise, R1 discards packets with unknown destinations.

114


To configure a default static route, use the following syntax: Router(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 { ip-address

Step 1.

|

interface }

Configure the R1 router with a default route. Configure the R1 router with a default route using the Serial 0/0/0 interface of R1 as the next-hop interface. R1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial 0/0/0

Step 2.

View the routing table to the new static route entry. R1# show ip route Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2 E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, * - candidate default U - per- static route, o - ODR Gateway of last resort is 172.16.2.2 to network 0.0.0.0 172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 2 subnets C C S*

172.16.2.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0 172.16.3.0 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0 0.0.0.0/0 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0

Note that the R1 router now has a default route, the gateway of last resort, and will send all unknown traffic out Serial 0/0/0, which is connected to R2. Step 3.

Use ping to check connectivity between the host PC2 and PC1. From the host PC2, is it possible to ping PC1? yes The ping should be successful this time because the R1 router can return the packet using the default route. From the host PC3, is it possible to ping the host PC1? no Is there a route to the 172.16.3.0 network in the routing table on the R3 router? no

Task 11: Configure a Summary Static Route You could configure another static route on R3 for the 172.16.3.0 network. However, you already have two static routes to 172.16.2.0/24 and 172.16.1.0/24. Because these networks are so close together, you can summarize them into one route. Again, doing this helps reduce the size of routing tables, which makes the route lookup process more efficient.


115

Looking at the three networks at the binary level, you can see a common boundary at the 22nd bit from the left. 172.16.1.0

10101100.00010000.00000001.00000000

172.16.2.0

10101100.00010000.00000010.00000000

172.16.3.0

10101100.00010000.00000011.00000000

The prefix portion will include 172.16.0.0, because this would be the prefix if you turned off all the bits to the right of the 22nd bit. Prefix

172.16.0.0

To mask the first 22 leftmost bits, use a mask with 22 bits turned on from left to right: Bit Mask

11111111.11111111.11111100.00000000

This mask, in dotted decimal format, is 255.255.252.0. Step 1.

Configure the summary static route on the R3 router. The network to be used in the summary route is 172.16.0.0/22: R3(config)# ip route 172.16.0.0 255.255.252.0 192.168.1.2

Step 2.

Configuring a summary route on R3 did not remove the static routes configured earlier because these routes are more specific routes. They both use the /24 mask, whereas the new summary will be using a /22 mask. To reduce the size of the routing table, you can now remove the more specific /24 routes. Step 3.

Remove static routes on R3. Remove the two static routes that are currently configured on R3 by using the no form of the command. R3(config)# no ip route 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.2 R3(config)# no ip route 172.16.2.0 255.255.255.0 Serial0/0/1

R3 now only has one route to any host belonging to networks 172.16.0.0/24, 172.16.1.0/24, 172.16.2.0/24, and 172.16.3.0/24. Traffic destined for these networks will be sent to R2 at 192.168.1.2. Step 5.

Use ping to check connectivity between the host PC3 and PC1. From the host PC3, is it possible to ping the host PC1? yes This ping should be successful this time because there is a route to the 172.16.3.0 network on the R3 router, and the R1 router can return the packet using the default route.

Task 12: Summary, Reflection, and Documentation With the completion of this lab, you have ■

Configured your first network with a combination of static and default routing to provide full connectivity to all networks

■

Observed how a route is installed in the routing table when you correctly configure and activate an interface

■

Learned how to statically configure routes to destinations that are not directly connected

■

Learned how to configure a default route that is used to forward packets to unknown destinations

■

Learned how to summarize a group of networks into one static route to reduce the size of a routing table


117

Finally, you should document your network implementation. On each router, capture the following command output to a text (.txt) file and save for future reference. show running-config show ip route show ip interface brief

If you need to review the procedures for capturing command output, see “Lab 1-1: Cabling a Network and Basic Router Configuration (1.5.1).”

Task 13: Clean Up Erase the configurations and reload the routers. Disconnect and store the cabling. For PC hosts that are normally connected to other networks (such as the school LAN or the Internet), reconnect the appropriate cabling and restore the T/IP settings.

Task 14: Challenge In the following exercise, fill in the blanks to document the process as the ping travels from source to destination. 1.

The ICMP process on PC3 formulates a ping request to PC2 and sends the reply to the IP process.

2.

The IP process on PC3 encapsulates the ping packet with a source IP address of 192.168.2.10 and destination IP address of 172.16.1.10.

3.


4.

Next, PC3 sends the frame out on the media as an encoded bit stream.

5.

R3 receives the bit stream on its Fa0/0 interface. Because the destination MAC address matches the receiving interface’s MAC address, R3 strips off the Ethernet header.

6.

R3 looks up the destination network address 172.16.1.0/24 in its routing table. This destination has a next-hop IP address of 192.168.1.2. The next-hop IP address is reachable out interface S0/0/1.

7.

R3 encapsulates the packet in an HDLC frame and forwards the frame out the correct interface. (Because this is a point-to-point link, no address is needed. However, the address field in the HDLC packet contains the value 0x8F.)

8.

R2 receives the frame on the S0/0/1 interface. Because the frame is HDLC, R2 strips off the header and looks up the network address 172.16.1.0/24 in its routing table. This destination address is directly connected to the Fa0/0 interface.

9.


10. R2 then sends the frame out on the media as an encoded bit stream. 11.

PC2 receives the bit stream on its Ethernet (NIC) interface. Because the destination MAC address matches the MAC address of PC2, PC2 strips off the Ethernet header.

12. The IP process on PC2 examines the 172.16.1.10 IP address to make sure that it matches its

own IP address. Then PC2 es the data to the ICMP process.

118


13. The ICMP process on PC2 formulates a ping reply to PC3 and sends the reply to the IP

process. 14. The IP process on PC2 encapsulates the ping packet with a source IP address of 172.16.1.10

and destination IP address of 192.168.2.10. 15. PC2 then frames the packet with the source MAC address of (indicate device name) PC2 and

the destination MAC address of (indicate device name) R2. 16. PC2 then sends the frame out on the media as an encoded bit stream. 17.

R2 receives the bit stream on its Fa0/0 interface. Because the destination MAC address matches the receiving interface’s MAC address, R2 strips off the Ethernet header.

18. R2 looks up the destination network address 192.168.2.0/24 in its routing table. This destina-

tion has a next-hop IP address of 192.168.1.1. The next-hop IP address is reachable out interface S0/0/1. 19.

R2 encapsulates the packet in an HDLC frame and forwards the frame out the correct interface. (Because this is a point-to-point link, no address is needed. However, the address field in the HDLC packet contains the value 0x8F.)

20. R3 receives the frame on the S0/0/1 interface. Because the frame is HDLC, R3 strips off the

header and looks up the destination network address 192.168.2.0/24 in its routing table. This destination address is directly connected to the Fa0/0 interface. 21.


22. R3 then sends the frame out on the media as an encoded bit stream. 23. PC3 receives the bit stream on its Ethernet (NIC) interface. Because the destination MAC

address matches the MAC address of PC3, PC3 strips off the Ethernet header. 24. The IP process on PC3 examines the 192.168.2.10 IP address to make sure that it matches its

own IP address. Then PC3 es the data to the ICMP process. 25. ICMP sends a “success” message to the requesting application.

Task 3: Prepare the Network Step 1.

Cable a network that is similar to the one in the topology diagram in Figure 2-11. You can use any current router in your lab as long as it has the required interfaces as shown in the topology.

Step 2.


Task 4: Perform Basic Router Configurations Perform basic configuration of the BRANCH, HQ, and ISP routers according to the following guidelines: 1.

Configure the router host name.

2.

Disable DNS lookup.

3.

Configure an EXEC mode .

4.

Configure a message-of-the-day banner.

5.

Configure a for console connections.

6.

Configure a for VTY connections.

7.

Synchronize unsolicited messages and debug output with solicited output and prompts for the console and virtual terminal lines.

8.

Configure an EXEC timeout of 15 minutes.

Task 5: Configure and Activate Serial and Ethernet Addresses Step 1.

Configure the interfaces on the BRANCH, HQ, and ISP routers. Configure the interfaces on the BRANCH, HQ, and ISP routers with the IP addresses from the table provided under the topology diagram. When you have finished, be sure to save the running configuration to the NVRAM of the router.

Step 2.

Configure the Ethernet interfaces. Configure the Ethernet interfaces on PC1, PC2, and the web server with the IP addresses from the table provided under the topology diagram.

Task 6: Connectivity to Next-Hop Device You should not have connectivity between end devices yet. However, you can test connectivity between two routers and between and end device and its default gateway. Step 1.

BRANCH and HQ connectivity. that BRANCH can ping across the WAN link to HQ and that HQ can ping across the WAN link that it shares with ISP.

Step 2.

PC1, PC2, and web server connectivity. that PC1, PC2, and the web server can ping their respective default gateways.

122


Task 7: Configure Static Routing on BRANCH Step 1.

Consider the type of static routing that is needed on BRANCH. What networks are present in the BRANCH routing table? List the networks with slash notation. 192.168.2.128/26 192.168.2.192/26 What networks are missing from the BRANCH routing table? List the networks with slash notation. 192.168.2.64/26 209.165.201.0/30 209.165.200.224/27 Can one summary route that includes all the missing networks be created? no How many WAN routes are available to traffic leaving the LAN connected to BRANCH? 1

Step 2.

Configure BRANCH with a default static route pointing to HQ. Because BRANCH is a stub router, you should configure BRANCH with a default static route pointing to HQ. Record the command to configure a default static route using the appropriate exit interface. BRANCH(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial0/0/0

Step 3.

View the routing table of BRANCH to the new static route entry. You should see a gateway of last resort set on BRANCH. Without testing it first, do you think that PC1 can now successfully ping PC2? no Why or why not?

PC1 cannot successfully ping PC2. Although PC2 will receive the ping packet from PC1 and send a ping reply to HQ, HQ does not yet know how to route packets back to PC1’s subnet.


123

Task 8: Configure Static Routing on HQ Step 1.

Consider the type of static routing that is needed on HQ. What networks are present in the HQ routing table? List the networks with slash notation. 192.168.2.128/26 192.168.2.64/26 209.165.201.0/30 What networks are missing from the HQ routing table? List the networks with slash notation. 192.168.2.192/26 209.165.200.224/27 Can one summary route that includes all the missing networks be created? no HQ is in a unique position as the hub router in this hub-and-spoke topology. Traffic from the BRANCH LAN destined for the Internet must through HQ. HQ must be able to send any traffic for which it does not have a router to ISP. What kind of route would you need to configure on HQ to solve this problem? A default static route pointing to ISP HQ is also the intermediary for any traffic from the Internet destined for the BRANCH LAN. Therefore, HQ must be able to route to that LAN. What kind of route would you need to configure on HQ to solve this problem? A static route pointing to the BRANCH LAN

Step 2.

Configure HQ with a static route. Configure HQ with a static route to the BRANCH LAN using the Serial 0/0/0 interface of HQ as the exit interface. Record the command that you used. HQ(config)# ip route 192.168.2.192 255.255.255.192 serial 0/0/0

Step 3.

Configure HQ with a default static route. Configure the HQ router with a default static route pointing to ISP using the next-hop IP address. Record the command you used. HQ(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 209.165.201.1

Step 4.

View the routing table of HQ to the new static route entries. Without testing it first, do you think that PC1 can now successfully ping PC2? yes Why or why not? PC1 can now successfully ping PC2. HQ now has a route back to the BRANCH LAN. Without testing it first, do you think that PC1 or PC2 can now successfully ping the web server? no Why or why not? PC1 and PC2 cannot successfully ping the web server. Although the web server will receive the ping packets from PC1 and PC2 (HQ is sending default traffic to ISP), ISP does not yet know how to route packets back to HQ or BRANCH networks.

124


Task 9: Configure Static Routing on ISP In a real-world implementation of this topology, you would not be configuring the ISP router. However, your service provider is an active partner in solving your connectivity needs. Service provider s are human, too, and make mistakes. Therefore, it is important that you understand the types of errors an ISP could make that would cause your networks to lose connectivity. Step 1.

Consider the type of static routing that is needed on ISP. What networks are present in the ISP routing table? List the networks with slash notation. 209.165.201.0/30 209.165.200.224/27 What networks are missing from the ISP routing table? List the networks with slash notation. 192.168.2.64/26 192.168.2.128/26 192.168.2.192/26 Can one summary route that includes all the missing networks be created? yes

Step 2.

Configure ISP with a summary static route. Using the next-hop IP address, configure ISP with a summary static route that includes all the subnets that are missing from the routing table. Record the command that you used. ISP(config)# ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 209.165.201.2

Step 3.

View the routing table of R3 to the new static route entry.

Task 10: the Configurations Answer the following questions to that the network is operating as expected. From PC2, is it possible to ping PC1? yes From PC2, is it possible to ping the web server? yes From PC1, is it possible to ping the web server? yes The answer to these questions should be yes. If any of the above pings failed, check your physical connections and configurations. For a review of basic troubleshooting techniques, see “Lab 1-1: Cabling a Network and Basic Router Configuration (1.5.1).” What routes are present in the routing table of BRANCH? 192.168.2.128/26 192.168.2.192/26 0.0.0.0/0 What routes are present in the routing table of HQ? 192.168.2.64/26 192.168.2.128/26 192.168.2.192/26


125

209.165.201.0/30 0.0.0.0/0 What routes are present in the routing table of ISP? 192.168.2.0/24 209.165.200.0/27 209.165.201.0/30

Task 11: Reflection If a default static route was not configured on BRANCH, how many individual static routes would be needed for hosts on the BRANCH LAN to communicate with all the networks in the topology diagram in Figure 2-11? 3 If a summary static route was not configured on ISP, how many individual static routes would be needed for hosts on the ISP LAN to communicate with all the networks in the topology diagram? 3

Task 1: Cable, Erase, and Reload the Routers Step 1.

Cable a network that is similar to the one in the topology diagram shown in Figure 2-12.

Step 2.

Clear the configuration on each router. Clear the configuration on each of routers using the erase startup-config command and then reload the routers. Answer no if asked to save changes.

Task 2: Load Routers with the Supplied Scripts Step 1.

Load the following script onto the BRANCH router: hostname BRANCH ! ! no ip domain-lookup ! interface FastEthernet0/0 ip address 172.20.1.129 255.255.255.128 duplex auto speed auto no shutdown ! interface Serial0/0/0 ip address 172.20.1.1 255.255.255.128 clock rate 64000 no shutdown ! ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.20.0.129

!The destination in the ip route command should be 172.20.1.2. ! ! ! ! line con 0 line vty 0 4 cisco ! end

Corrected Script: hostname BRANCH !

128


! no ip domain-lookup ! interface FastEthernet0/0 ip address 172.20.1.129 255.255.255.128 duplex auto speed auto no shutdown ! interface Serial0/0/0 ip address 172.20.1.1 255.255.255.128 clock rate 64000 no shutdown ! ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.20.1.2 ! ! ! ! line con 0 line vty 0 4 cisco ! end

The error in the student script is that the destination address in the default route is incorrect. The correct command is ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.20.1.2. Step 2.

Load the following script onto the HQ router: hostname HQ ! ! no ip domain-lookup ! interface FastEthernet0/0 ip address 172.20.0.129 255.255.255.128 duplex auto speed auto no shutdown ! interface Serial0/0/0 ip address 172.20.1.2 255.255.255.128 no shutdown ! interface Serial0/0/1 ip address 192.168.38.254 255.255.255.252


!The clock rate 64000 command is missing. no shutdown ! ip route 192.168.39.64 255.255.255.192 192.168.38.253

!The ip route statement for the BRANCH LAN is missing. ! ! ! line con 0 line vty 0 4 cisco ! end

Corrected Script: hostname HQ ! ! no ip domain-lookup ! interface FastEthernet0/0 ip address 172.20.0.129 255.255.255.128 duplex auto speed auto no shutdown ! interface Serial0/0/0 ip address 172.20.1.2 255.255.255.128 no shutdown ! interface Serial0/0/1 ip address 192.168.38.254 255.255.255.252 clock rate 64000 no shutdown ! ip route 192.168.39.64 255.255.255.192 192.168.38.253 ip route 172.20.1.128 255.255.255.128 17.20.1.1 ! ! ! ! line con 0 line vty 0 4 cisco

129

130


! end

The errors in the student scripts are as follows:

Step 3.

■

The clock rate is not configured on the Serial 0/0/1 interface.

■

The ip route statement for the BRANCH LAN is missing. The command should be ip route 172.20.1.128 255.255.255.128 Serial0/0/0 or ip route 172.20.1.128 255.255.255.128 172.20.1.1.

Load the following script onto the ISP router: hostname ISP ! ! no ip domain-lookup ! interface FastEthernet0/0 ip address 192.168.39.65 255.255.255.192

!no shutdown ! interface Serial0/0/1 ip address 192.168.38.253 255.255.255.252 no shutdown ! ip route 172.20.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.38.254

!The subnet mask for this route should be 255.255.254.0. ! ! ! line con 0 line vty 0 4 cisco ! end

Corrected Script: hostname ISP ! ! no ip domain-lookup ! interface FastEthernet0/0 ip address 192.168.39.65 255.255.255.192 no shutdown ! interface Serial0/0/1


131

ip address 192.168.38.253 255.255.255.252 no shutdown ! ip route 172.20.0.0 255.255.254.0 192.168.38.254 ! ! ! ! line con 0 line vty 0 4 cisco ! end

The errors in the student scripts are as follows: ■

The no shutdown command is missing from the FastEthernet0/0 interface.

■

The incorrect subnet mask is used in the ip route statement.

Task 3: Troubleshoot the BRANCH Router Step 1.

Begin troubleshooting at the host connected to the BRANCH router. From the host PC1, is it possible to ping PC2? no From the host PC1, is it possible to ping the web server on the ISP LAN? no From the host PC1, is it possible to ping the default gateway? yes

Step 2.

Examine the BRANCH router to find possible configuration errors. Begin by viewing the summary of status information for each interface on the router. Are there any problems with the status of the interfaces? no

If there are any problems with the status of the interfaces, record any commands that will be necessary to correct the configuration errors.

132


Step 3.

If you have recorded any commands, apply them to the router configuration now.

Dynamic Routing Protocol Concepts Exercise Perspective and Background As networks have evolved and become more complex, new routing protocols have emerged. One of the earliest routing protocols, Routing Information Protocol (RIP), has evolved into a newer version, RIPv2. To address the needs of larger networks, two advanced routing protocols were developed: Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Intermediate System–to–Intermediate System (IS-IS). Cisco developed Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) and Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP), which also scales well in larger network implementations. Additionally, there was the need to interconnect different internetworks and provide routing among them. Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is now used between Internet service providers (ISP) as well as between ISPs and their larger private clients to exchange routing information. With the advent of numerous consumer devices using IP, the IPv4 addressing space is nearly exhausted. Thus, IPv6 has emerged, which has required newer versions of the IP routing protocols to be developed. Role of Dynamic Routing Protocols Routing protocols determine the best path to each network, which is then added to the routing table. One of the primary benefits of using a dynamic routing protocol is that routers exchange routing information whenever there is a topology change. Compared to static routing, dynamic routing protocols require less istrative overhead. However, the expense of using dynamic routing protocols is dedicating part of a router’s resources for protocol operation, including U time and network link bandwidth. Purpose of Dynamic Routing Protocols A routing protocol is a set of processes, algorithms, and messages that are used to exchange routing information and populate the routing table with the routing protocol’s choice of best paths. List the four purposes of a routing protocol. ■

Discovery of remote networks

■

Maintaining up-to-date routing information

■

Choosing the best path to destination networks

■

Ability to find a new best path if the current path is no longer available

List and briefly describe the main components of a routing protocol. ■

Data structures: Some routing protocols use tables and/or databases for their operations. This information is kept in RAM.

■

Algorithm: An algorithm is a finite list of steps used in accomplishing a task. Routing protocols use algorithms for facilitating routing information and for best-path determination.

■

Routing protocol messages: Routing protocols use various types of messages to discover neighboring routers and exchange routing information, and do other tasks to learn and maintain accurate information about the network.

Dynamic Routing Protocol Operation The method that a routing protocol uses to accomplish its purpose depends on the algorithm it uses and the operational characteristics of that protocol.


143

Describe the basic operations of a dynamic routing protocol. ■

The router sends and receives routing messages on its interfaces.

■

The router shares routing messages and routing information with other routers that are using the same routing protocol.

■

Routers exchange routing information to learn about remote networks.

■

When a router detects a topology change, the routing protocol can this change to other routers.

Dynamic Versus Static Routing Exercise Dynamic routing certainly has several advantages over static routing. However, static routing is still used in networks today. In fact, networks typically use a combination of both static and dynamic routing. Consider each of the features in Table 3-1, and briefly list the advantages and disadvantage of dynamic routing and static routing. Table 3-1

Classifying Dynamic Routing Protocols The following sections give an overview of the most common IP routing protocols. Most of these routing protocols will be examined in detail later in this course. For now, work through these exercises to reinforce your knowledge of dynamic routing protocol classifications.

Dynamic Routing Protocols Classification Exercise Routing protocols can be classified into different groups according to their characteristics. IGP and EGP An autonomous system (AS)—otherwise known as a routing domain—is a collection of routers under a common istration. Because the Internet is based on the autonomous system concept, two types of routing protocols are required: ■

Interior gateway protocols (IGP)

■

Exterior gateway protocols (EGP)

Characteristics of IGPs and EGPs An IGP is used to route within an autonomous system. IGPs for IP include RIP, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF, and IS-IS. EGPs, on the other hand, are designed for use between different autonomous systems that are under the control of different istrations. BGP is the only currently viable EGP and is the routing protocol used by the Internet. BGP is a path vector protocol that can use many different attributes to measure routes. Distance Vector and Link-State IGPs can be classified as two types: ■

Distance vector routing protocols

■

Link-state routing protocols


145

Distance Vector Routing Protocol Operation Distance vector means that routes are d as vectors of distance and direction. Distance is defined in of a metric, such as hop count, and direction is simply the next-hop router or exit interface. Distance vector protocols typically use the Bellman-Ford algorithm for the best-path route determination. Some distance vector protocols periodically send complete routing tables to all connected neighbors. In large networks, these routing updates can become enormous, causing significant traffic on the links. Distance vector protocols use routers as sign posts along the path to the final destination. The only information a router knows about a remote network is the distance or metric to reach that network and which path or interface to use to get there. Distance vector routing protocols do not have an actual map of the network topology. List four situations in which distance vector routing protocols are a good choice. ■

The network is simple and flat and does not require a special hierarchical design.

■

The s do not have enough knowledge to configure and troubleshoot link-state protocols.

■

Specific types of networks, such as hub-and-spoke networks, are being implemented.

■

Worst-case convergence times in a network are not a concern.

Link-State Protocol Operation In contrast to distance vector routing protocol operation, a router configured with a link-state routing protocol can create a “complete view,” or topology, of the network. A link-state router uses link-state information to create a topology map and to select the best path to all destination networks in the topology. Link-state routing protocols do not use periodic updates. After the network has converged, a link-state update is only sent when there is a change in the topology. List three situations in which link-state routing protocols are a good choice. ■

The network design is hierarchical, usually occurring in large networks.

■

The s have a good knowledge of the implemented link-state routing protocol.

■

Fast convergence of the network is crucial.

Classful and Classless Protocols All routing protocols can also be classified as either ■

Classful routing protocols

■

Classless routing protocols

Classful Routing Protocols What feature makes a routing protocol a classful routing protocol? Classful routing protocols do not send subnet mask information in routing updates. There are other limitations to classful routing protocols, including their inability to discontiguous networks—a topology that consists of a major network separating the subnets of another major network. Classful routing protocols include RIPv1 and IGRP.

146


Classless Routing Protocols What feature makes a routing protocol a classless routing protocol? Classless routing protocols include the subnet mask with the network address in routing updates. Classless routing protocols are required in most networks today because of their for VLSM and discontiguous networks, among other features. Classless routing protocols are RIPv2, EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP. Convergence Briefly describe convergence and explain why is it important? Convergence is when all routers’ routing tables are at a state of consistency. The network has converged when all routers have complete and accurate information about the network. Convergence time is the time it takes routers to share information, calculate best paths, and update their routing tables. A network is not completely operable until the network has converged; therefore, most networks require short convergence times. Convergence properties include the speed of propagation of routing information and the calculation of optimal paths. Routing protocols can be rated based on the speed to convergence; the faster the convergence, the better the routing protocol. Generally, RIP and IGRP are slow to converge, whereas EIGRP and OSPF are faster to converge.

Metrics There are cases when a routing protocol learns of more than one route to the same destination. To select the best path, the routing protocol must be able to evaluate and differentiate among the available paths. For this purpose, a metric is used. The exercise in the following section reinforces your knowledge of metrics.

Metric Parameters Exercise Two different routing protocols might choose different paths to the same destination because of using different metrics. In the following list, fill in the missing metric. ■

Hop count: A simple metric that counts the number of routers a packet must traverse

■

Bandwidth: Influences path selection by preferring the path with the highest bandwidth

■

Load: Considers the traffic utilization of a certain link

■

Delay: Considers the time a packet takes to traverse a path

■

Reliability: Assesses the probability of a link failure, calculated from the interface error count or previous link failures

■

Cost: A value determined either by the IOS or by the network to indicate a preference for a route


147

In the following list, fill in the missing metric or metrics for the routing protocol. ■

RIP: Hop count—Best path is chosen by the route with the lowest hop count.

■

IGRP and EIGRP: Bandwidth, delay, reliability, and load—Best path is chosen by the route with the smallest composite metric value calculated from these multiple parameters. By default, only bandwidth and delay are used.

■

IS-IS and OSPF: Cost—Best path is chosen by the route with the lowest cost. The Cisco implementation of OSPF uses bandwidth.

istrative Distances Before the routing process can determine which route to use when forwarding a packet, it must first determine which routes to include in the routing table. In some cases, a router can learn a route to a remote network from more than one routing source. The exercises in the following sections reinforce your knowledge of the concept of istrative distance.

Concept of istrative Distance Exercise A router might learn of a route to the same network from more than one source. For example, a static route might have been configured for the same network/subnet mask that was learned dynamically by a dynamic routing protocol. Although less common, more than one dynamic routing protocol can be deployed in the same network. istrative distance (AD) defines the preference of a routing source. istrative distance is an integer value from 0 to 255. The lower the value the more preferred the route source. An istrative distance of 0 is the most preferred, which is the AD value for a directly connected network. An istrative distance of 255 means that the router will not believe the source of that route and it will not be installed in the routing table. On way to see the AD value for a route source is to look at the routing table. In Example 3-1, circle the AD values for the route sources that show an AD value. Example 3-1

Answer: The value 90 should be circled for the 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.6.0/24 networks. The value 120 should be circled for the 192.168.5.0/24, 192.168.7.0/24, and 192.168.8.0/24 networks. What other command can be used to the istrative distance used by a routing protocol? show ip protocols Notice that the directly connected networks in Example 3-1 do not show an istrative distance. What command would show the istrative distance (list as simply “distance”) for the 192.168.2.0 route in R2’s routing table? show ip route 192.168.2.0 R2 might have knowledge of more networks than is shown in the routing table. What command will display all the RIP routes learned by R2, whether or not the RIP route is installed in the routing table? show ip rip database

Identifying Elements of the Routing Table Exercise The purpose of this exercise is to practice how to correctly identify the route source, istrative distance, and metric for a given route based on output from the show ip route command. The output is not common for most routing tables. Running more than one routing protocol on the same router is rare. Running three, as shown here, is more of an academic exercise and has value in that it will help you learn to interpret the routing table output.

Can the 192.168.1.0/24 network be subnetted to fit the network requirements? no If the “number of subnets” requirement is met, what is the maximum number of hosts per subnet? 30 If the “maximum number of hosts” requirement is met, what is the number of subnets that will be available to use? 2

Task 3: Reflection You do not have enough address space to implement an addressing scheme. Research this problem and propose a possible solution. Increasing the size of your original address space is not an acceptable solution. (Hint: We will discuss solutions to this problem in Chapter 6, “VLSM and CIDR.”)


Attempt to implement your solution using Packet Tracer. You can now open the file LSG02Lab354.pka on the CD-ROM that accompanies this book to apply and your addressing scheme. Check to see that all devices on directly connected networks can ping each other. Successful implementation of a solution requires that ■

Only the 192.168.1.0/24 address space is used.

■

Design an addressing scheme. Based on the network requirements shown in Figure 3-6, design an appropriate addressing scheme.

166


Step 2.

■

The HQ, B1, B2, and B3 routers each have an address space. Subnet the address space based on the host requirements.

■

For each address space, assign subnet 0 to the Fa0/0 LAN, subnet 1 to the Fa0/1, and so on.

Document the addressing scheme. ■

Use Table 3-10 to document the IP addresses and subnet masks. Assign the first IP address to the router interface.

■

For the WAN links, assign the first IP address to HQ.

Task 2: Apply a Basic Configuration Using your documentation, configure the routers with basic configurations including addressing and host names. Use cisco as the line s and class as the secret . Use 64000 as the clock rate. ISP is the DCE in its WAN link to HQ, and HQ is the DCE for all other WAN links.

Task 3: Configure Static and Default Routing Configure static and default routing using the exit interface argument, according to the following criteria: ■

HQ should have three static routes and one default route.

■

B1, B2, and B3 should have one default route.

■

ISP should have seven static routes. This will include the three WAN links between HQ and the branch routers B1, B2, and B3.


Test connectivity. You should now have end-to-end connectivity. Use ping to test connectivity across the network. Each router should be able to ping all other router interfaces and the web server. Use extended ping to test LAN connectivity to the web server. For example, to test the Fa0/0 interface on B1, you would do the following: B1# ping Protocol [ip]: Target IP address: 209.165.200.226 Repeat count [5]: Datagram size [100]: Timeout in seconds [2]: Extended commands [n]: yes Source address or interface: 192.168.1.1 Type of service [0]: Set DF bit in IP header? [no]: Validate reply data? [no]: Data pattern [0xABCD]: Loose, Strict, Record, Timestamp, Verbose[none]: Sweep range of sizes [n]: Type escape sequence to abort.


167

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 209.165.200.226, timeout is 2 seconds: Packet sent with a source address of 192.168.1.1 !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 67/118/138 ms

Troubleshoot until pings are successful. Step 2.


CHAPTER 4

Distance Vector Routing Protocols

The Study Guide portion of this chapter uses a combination of matching, fill-in-the-blank, multiple-choice, and open-ended question exercises to test your knowledge of distance vector routing protocols. The Labs and Activities portion of this chapter includes the online curriculum lab to ensure that you have mastered routing table interpretation skills. As you work through this chapter, use Chapter 4 in Routing Protocols and Concepts, CCNA Exploration Companion Guide or use the corresponding Chapter 4 in the Exploration Routing Protocols and Concepts online curriculum for assistance.

170


Study Guide Introduction to Distance Vector Routing Protocols One way to characterize routing protocols is by the type of routing algorithm they use to build and maintain their routing table. By doing this, routing protocols can be differentiated as a distance vector, link-state, or path vector routing protocol. In the following sections, you will review the basic concepts of distance vector routing protocols.

Distance Vector Protocols Concepts Exercise Distance vector routing protocols include RIP, IGRP, and EIGRP. The following are some key characteristics of these protocols. Fill in the blanks to provide the missing words or phrases. RIP Routing Information Protocol (RIP) was originally specified in RFC 1058. It has the following key characteristics: ■

Hop count is used as the metric for path selection.

■

If the metric for a network is greater than 15, RIP cannot supply a route to that network.

■

Routing updates are broadcast or multicast every 30 seconds, by default.

IGRP Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Cisco. IGRP has the following key design characteristics: ■

Bandwidth, delay, load, and reliability are used to create a composite metric.

■

Routing updates are broadcast every 90 seconds, by default.

■

IGRP is the predecessor of EIGRP and is now obsolete.

EIGRP Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP) is a Cisco-proprietary distance vector routing protocol. EIGRP has these key characteristics: ■

It can perform unequal-cost load balancing.

■

It uses Diffudate Algorithm (DUAL) to calculate the shortest path.

■

There are no periodic updates as with RIP and IGRP. Routing updates are sent only when there is a change in the topology.

Meaning of Distance Vector Briefly explain what is meant by the term distance vector. Routes are d as vectors of distance and direction. Distance is defined in of a metric, and direction is simply the next-hop router or exit interface.

Chapter 4: Distance Vector Routing Protocols

171

A distance vector router only knows ■

The direction or interface in which packets should be forwarded

■

The distance to the destination network

Operation of Distance Vector Routing Protocols Some distance vector routing protocols call for the router to periodically broadcast the entire routing table to each of its neighbors. This method is inefficient because the updates not only consume network bandwidth but also consume router U resources to process the updates. In reference to routing protocols, what is a neighbor? Neighbors are routers that share a link and are configured to use the same routing protocol. Broadcast updates are sent to 255.255.255.255 (IP address). Neighboring routers that are configured with the same routing protocol will process the updates. All other devices will also process the update up to Layer 3 before discarding it. At the core of the distance vector routing protocol is the algorithm used to calculate the best paths and then send that information to the neighbors.

Routing Protocols Characteristics Exercise Briefly explain each of the following routing protocol characteristics. Time to convergence Time to convergence defines how quickly the routers in the network topology share routing information and reach a state of consistent knowledge. The faster the convergence, the more preferable the protocol. Routing loops can occur when inconsistent routing tables are not updated because of slow convergence in a changing network. Scalability Scalability defines how large a network can become based on the routing protocol that is deployed. The larger the network is, the more scalable the routing protocol needs to be. Classless (use of VLSM) or classful Classless routing protocols include the subnet mask in the updates. This feature s the use of variable-length subnet masking (VLSM) and better route summarization. Classful routing protocols do not include the subnet mask and cannot VLSM. Resource usage Resource usage includes the requirements of a routing protocol, such as memory space, U utilization, and link bandwidth utilization. Higher resource requirements necessitate more powerful hardware to the routing protocol operation in addition to the packet-forwarding processes. Implementation and maintenance Implementation and maintenance describe the level of knowledge that is required for a network to implement and maintain the network based on the routing protocol deployed.

172


Comparing Routing Protocol Characteristics Exercise In Table 4-1, all the routing protocols discussed in the course are compared based on the characteristics you briefly described in the previous exercise. For each characteristic, circle the description that applies to each routing protocol. For example, RIP is slow to converge. So you would circle “slow” in the “Speed of Convergence” row under both RIPv1 and RIPv2. Table 4-1

Network Discovery Network discovery is part of the process of the routing protocol algorithm that enables routers to first learn about remote networks. In the following exercises, you will demonstrate your knowledge of the network discovery process.

Network Discovery Exercise Cold Start What does a router know when it first boots? The only information that a router has is from its own saved configuration file stored in NVRAM. After it boots, what does the router know about the network topology? The router will initially discover its own directly connected networks. In Figure 4-1, the routers have booted. However, they have not yet discovered any neighbors. In the tables below each router, fill in the networks, interfaces, and hop counts that each router has installed in its routing table.

Initial Exchange of Routing Information What is required before the routers will start sending each other updates? A routing protocol must be configured on each router. For the first round of updates after a cold start, what information will the updates include? The first round of updates only includes information about each router’s directly connected networks. In Figure 4-2, the routers have completed their initial exchange of routing updates. In the tables below each router, fill in the networks, interfaces, and hop counts that each router now has installed in its routing table. Figure 4-2

Routing Table Maintenance After the routers have initially learned about remote networks, routing protocols must maintain the routing tables so that they have the most current routing information. How the routing protocol maintains the routing table depends on the type of routing protocol (distance vector, link-state, or path vector) as well as the routing protocol itself (RIP, EIGRP, and so on). The exercise in the following section will reinforce your knowledge of routing table maintenance.

Distance Vector Table Maintenance Techniques Exercise Periodic Updates Explain the term periodic update. The term periodic update refers to the fact that a router sends the complete routing table to its neighbors at a predefined interval, regardless of whether there has been a topology change. The age of routing information in a routing table is refreshed each time an update is received. This way, information in the routing table can be maintained when there is a topology change. List four ways that changes in the topology might occur. ■

Failure of a link

■

Introduction of a new link

■

Failure of a router

■

Change of link parameters

RIP Timers In addition to the update timer, the IOS implements three additional timers for RIP. Briefly explain what these timers are and how they are used.


175

Invalid timer: If an update has not been received to refresh an existing route after 180 seconds (the default), the route is marked as invalid by setting the metric to 16. The route is retained in the routing table until the flush timer expires. Flush timer: By default, the flush timer is set for 240 seconds, which is 60 seconds longer than the invalid timer. When the flush timer expires, the route is removed from the routing table. Hold-down timer: This timer stabilizes routing information and helps prevent routing loops during periods when the topology is converging on new information. When a route is marked as unreachable, it must stay in hold-down mode long enough for all routers in the topology to learn about the unreachable network. By default, the hold-down timer is set for 180 seconds. The hold-down timer is discussed in more detail later in this chapter. What two commands will show timer values? show ip route show ip protocols Which command shows the most information about timer values? show ip protocols EIGRP Updates Unlike other distance vector routing protocols, EIGRP does not send periodic updates. Describe the type of updates EIGRP uses. EIGRP uses the following types of updates: ■

Nonperiodic: They are not sent out on a regular basis.

■

Partial: These updates are sent only when there is a change in topology that influences routing information.

■

Bounded: The propagation of partial updates is automatically bounded so that only those routers that need the information are updated.

Triggered Updates To speed the convergence when there is a topology change, RIP uses triggered updates. What is a triggered update? A triggered update is a routing table update that is sent immediately in response to a routing change. Triggered updates do not wait for update timers to expire. When are triggered updates sent? Triggered updates are sent when ■

An interface changes state (up or down)

■

A route has entered (or exited) the “unreachable” state

A route is installed in the routing table

Random Jitter Describe random jitter and explain the problem it solves concerning routing updates. Over time, the update interval across the routers in the topology can become synchronized, which can cause problems. As more routers’ timers become synchronized, more collisions of updates and more delays occur in the network.

176


To prevent the synchronization of updates between routers, the Cisco IOS uses a random variable, called RIP_JITTER, that varies the update interval randomly in a range from 25 to 30 seconds for the default 30-second interval.

Routing Loops Routing loops can cause a severe impact on network performance. The following exercise will reinforce your knowledge of the causes and solutions of routing loops with distance vector routing protocols.

Routing Loop Concepts Exercise Routing Loops Briefly explain what a routing loop is. A routing loop is a condition in which a packet is continuously transmitted within a series of routers without ever reaching its intended destination network. How do routing loops occur? A routing loop can occur when two or more routers have routing information that incorrectly indicates that a valid path to an unreachable destination exists. List four ways that a routing loop can happen. ■

Incorrectly configured static routes

■

Incorrectly configured route redistribution (redistribution is a process of handing the routing information from one routing protocol to another routing protocol and is discussed in CCNPlevel courses)

■

Inconsistent routing tables not being updated because of slow convergence in a changing network

■

Incorrectly configured or installed discard routes

Implications of Routing Loops A routing loop can have a devastating effect on a network, resulting in degraded network performance or even network downtime. List five effects that routing loops can have on a network. ■

Link bandwidth will be used for traffic looping back and forth between the routers in a loop.

■

A router’s U will be strained because of looping packets.

■

A router’s U will be burdened with useless packet forwarding that will negatively impact the convergence of the network.

■

Routing updates might get lost or might not be processed in a timely manner. These conditions would introduce additional routing loops, making the situation even worse.

■

Packets can get lost in “black holes.”


177

Routing Loop Prevention Mechanisms There are five mechanisms available to eliminate routing loops: ■

Defining a maximum metric to prevent a count to infinity

■

Hold-down timers

■

Split horizon

■

Route poisoning or poison reverse

■

Triggered updates

Triggered updates have already been covered. The remaining mechanisms are reviewed in the following discussion. Count to Infinity Explain the concept of count to infinity. Count to infinity is a condition that exists when inaccurate routing updates increase the metric value to “infinity” for a network that is no longer reachable. Each protocol defines infinity at a different value. To eventually stop the incrementing of the metric, “infinity” is defined by setting a maximum metric value. What is the maximum or infinity value for RIP? 16 hops Hold-Down Timers Briefly explain how hold-down timers prevent routing loops. Hold-down timers are used to prevent regular update messages from inappropriately reinstating a route that might have gone bad. Hold-down timers instruct routers to hold any changes that might affect routes for a specified period of time. If a route is identified as down or possibly down, any other information for that route containing the same status, or worse, is ignored for a predetermined amount of time (the hold-down period). This means that routers will leave a route marked as unreachable in that state for a period of time that is long enough for updates to propagate the routing tables with the most current information. Split Horizon Rule What is the split horizon rule? The split horizon rule says that a router should not a network through the interface from which the update came. Route Poisoning What is route poisoning, and what is its purpose? Route poisoning is marking a route as unreachable in a routing update that is sent to other routers. Unreachable is interpreted as a metric that is set to the maximum. Route poisoning speeds the convergence process because the information about a downed network spreads more quickly than waiting for the hop count to reach “infinity.” Split Horizon with Poison Reverse What is split horizon with poison reverse, and why is it a routing loop prevention mechanism? The rule for split horizon with poison reverse states that when sending updates out a specific interface, designate any networks that were learned on that interface as unreachable. In other words, when receiving a route poisoning from a neighbor, the router immediately sends back a poison reverse. This prevents the originating router from being susceptible to incorrect updates about the downed network.

Task 3: Create the Network Step 1.

Cable a network that is similar to the one in the topology diagram you just created in Figure 4-4. You can use any current router in your lab as long as it has the required interfaces shown in the topology.

Note: If you use 1700, 2500, or 2600 routers, the router outputs and interface descriptions will appear different. Step 2.


Step 3.

Configure the HQ, BRANCH1, and BRANCH2 routers. Configure the interfaces on the HQ, BRANCH1, and BRANCH2 routers with the IP addresses from the addressing table. The clock rate, DTE assignment, and DCE assignment of the serial interfaces are at your discretion.

Task 4: Configure the Routing Protocol for Each Router Step 1.

Enable the RIP routing protocol on the BRANCH1 router. The RIP routing protocol will be used to directly connected networks to the other routers in the topology. RIP configuration will be covered in greater detail in a later lab activity. The basic configuration steps necessary for this lab activity are provided here. To enable RIP, enter global configuration mode and use the router rip command. BRANCH1(config)# router rip BRANCH1(config-router)#

Step 2.

Enter the classful network addresses for each directly connected network. After you are in router configuration mode, enter the classful network address for each directly connected network, using the network command. An example of the network command is as follows: BRANCH1(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0 BRANCH1(config-router)#

Be sure to configure a network statement for each network that is attached to a serial or loopback interface of the router. When you are finished with the RIP configuration, return to privileged EXEC mode and save the current configuration to NVRAM: BRANCH1(config-router)# end %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console BRANCH1# copy run start

Step 3.

Configure RIP on the HQ and BRANCH2 routers. Use the router rip and network commands to configure the HQ and BRANCH2 routers to directly connected networks to the other routers in the topology.


183

When you are finished with the RIP configuration, return to privileged EXEC mode and save the current configuration to NVRAM. Step 4.

Test and connectivity. Use the ping command to that the router interfaces can communicate with each other. If you discover that two interfaces cannot ping each other, troubleshoot your IP addressing and router configuration.

Task 5: Document the Router Configurations On each router, capture the following command output to a text file and save for future reference: ■

Running configuration.

■

Routing table. The output of the show ip route command for each of the routers should be the same as the provided outputs.

■

Interface summarization.



Packet Tracer Companion: Routing Table Interpretation (4.6.1) This lab does not have a starter file for you to open in Packet Tracer. However, create your own network from scratch using the topology in Figure 4-4 and the addressing in Table 4-3. Use the commands in Task 4 to configure routing. Then you should be able to that your routing tables in the Packet Tracer network you created look similar to the routing tables shown in Task 1. When finished, save your Packet Tracer file as LSG02-Lab441-end.pka.


Packet Tracer Skills Integration Challenge Introduction This activity focuses on subnetting skills, basic device configurations, and static routing. After you have configured all devices, test for end-to-end connectivity and examine your configuration. Open the file LSG02-PTSkills4.pka on the CD-ROM that accompanies this book. Use the topology in Figure 4-5 and the addressing table in Table 4-4 to document your design. Upon completion of this skills integration challenge, you will be able to ■

Design an addressing scheme. Using the topology in Figure 4-5 and the following requirements, design an addressing scheme: ■

The WAN link between R1 and ISP is already configured.

■

For the WAN links between R1 and the branch routers (B1, B2, B3, and B4), subnet the address space 10.0.1.0/28 to provide the necessary WAN subnets. Assign the subnets using the following guidelines:

■

■

■

Subnet 0: R1 <—> B1 10.0.1.0/30

■

Subnet 1: R1 <—> B2 10.0.1.4/30

■

Subnet 2: R1 <—> B3 10.0.1.8/30

■

Subnet 3: R1 <—> B4 10.0.1.12/30

For the LANs attached to the branch routers, divide the address space 10.1.0.0/16 into four equal subnets. Assign the subnets using the following guidelines: ■

Subnet 0: B1 LANs 10.1.0.0/18

■

Subnet 1: B2 LANs 10.1.64.0/18

■

Subnet 2: B3 LANs 10.1.128.0/18

■

Subnet 3: B4 LANs 10.1.192.0/18

For each branch router, divide that router’s LAN subnet into four equal subnets. Assign the subnets using the following guidelines: B1 LANs: ■

Subnet 0: B1 Fa0/0 10.1.0.0/20

■

Subnet 1: B1 Fa0/1 10.1.16.0/20

Document the addressing scheme.

Step 2.

■

On the topology in Figure 4-5, label each subnet in the blanks provided.

■

In Table 4-4, document the IP addresses and subnet masks. Assign the first IP address to the router interface.

Task 2: Apply a Basic Configuration Using your documentation, configure the routers with basic configurations including addressing. Use cisco as the line s and class as the secret . Use 64000 as the clock rate.

Task 3: Configure Static and Default Routing Configure static and default routing using the exit interface argument: ■

R1 should have four static routes and one default route.

■

B1, B2, B3, and B4 should have one default route each.

■

ISP should have two static routes: one for the WAN address space and one for the LAN address space.


Test connectivity. ■

You should now have end-to-end connectivity. Use ping to test connectivity across the network. Each router should be able to ping all other router interfaces and the web server.

■

Use extended ping to test LAN connectivity to the web server. For example, the test the Fa0/0 interface on B1, you would do the following: B1# ping Protocol [ip]: Target IP address: 209.165.200.226 Repeat count [5]: Datagram size [100]: Timeout in seconds [2]: Extended commands [n]: yes Source address or interface: 10.1.0.1 Type of service [0]: Set DF bit in IP header? [no]: Validate reply data? [no]: Data pattern [0xABCD]: Loose, Strict, Record, Timestamp, Verbose[none]: Sweep range of sizes [n]: Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 209.165.200.226, timeout is 2 seconds: Packet sent with a source address of 10.1.0.1 !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 67/118/138 ms

■

Step 2.

Troubleshoot until pings are successful.


CHAPTER 5

Study Guide RIPv1: Distance Vector, Classful Routing Protocol RIPv1 is a distance vector routing protocol for IPv4. RIPv1 is also a classful routing protocol. In the following sections, you will focus on the basic RIP concepts.

RIP Concepts Exercise Background and Perspective RIP is the oldest of the distance vector routing protocols. However, RIP is not a protocol “on the way out.” In fact, an IPv6 form of RIP called RIPng (next generation) is now available. RIP Historical Impact RIP evolved from an earlier protocol developed at Xerox, called Gateway Information Protocol (GWINFO). It later gained popularity because it was implemented in the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) as a daemon named routed. Various other vendors made their own, slightly different implementations of RIP. Recognizing the need for standardization of the protocol, Charles Hedrick wrote RFC 1058 in 1988, in which he documented the existing protocol and specified some improvements. Since then, RIP has been improved with RIPv2 in 1994 and with RIPng in 1997. RIP Characteristics As discussed in Chapter 4, “Distance Vector Routing Protocols,” RIP has the following key characteristics: ■

It is a distance vector routing protocol.

■

It uses hop count as its only metric for path selection.

■

d routes with hop counts greater than 15 are unreachable.

■

Messages are broadcast every 30 seconds.

RIP Message Format: Route Entry The route entry portion of the message includes three fields with content: Address family identifier, IP address, and Metric. This route entry portion represents one destination route with its associated metric. One RIP update can contain up to 25 route entries. The maximum datagram size is 512 bytes, not including the IP or UDP headers. RIP Operation RIP uses two message types specified in the Command field: Request message and Response message. Each RIP-configured interface sends out a Request message on startup, requesting that all RIP neighbors send their complete routing tables. A Response message is sent back by RIP-enabled neighbors. When the requesting router receives the responses, it evaluates each route entry. If a route entry is new, the receiving router installs the route in the routing table. If the route is already in the table,

192


the existing entry is replaced if the new entry has a better hop count. The startup router then sends a triggered update out all RIP-enabled interfaces containing its own routing table so that RIP neighbors can be informed of any new routes. You might recall from previous studies that IP addresses assigned to hosts were initially divided into three classes: Class A, Class B, and Class C. Knowing the default subnet mask for each class is important to understanding how RIP operates. In Figure 5-3, label whether an octet is Network or Host and indicate the default subnet mask for each class. Figure 5-3

RIP is a classful routing protocol. As you might have realized from the previous message format discussion, RIPv1 does not send subnet mask information in the update. Therefore, a router either uses the subnet mask configured on a local interface or applies the default subnet mask based on the address class. Because of this limitation, RIPv1 networks cannot be discontiguous, nor can they implement VLSM. istrative distance (AD) is the trustworthiness (or preference) of the route source. RIP has a default AD of 120. What two command outputs display the AD value? show ip route show ip protocols

Basic RIPv1 Configuration In the following sections, you will design an addressing scheme and then use Packet Tracer to implement it. Then you will configure RIP routing and ive interfaces.

Document the Addressing Scheme Refer to the topology shown in Figure 5-4. Use Table 5-1 to document the IP addresses for all the interfaces and PCs. Use the following guidelines to ensure that your addresses will work with Packet Tracer Exercise 5-1. 1.

Assign the first IP address for all LANs to the router interface.

2.

Assign R2 the first IP address for all WAN links to the other routers.

3.

Assign R1 and R3 the second IP address for the WAN link to R2.

4.

Assign the last IP address in each LAN to the PC.

Task 1: Basic Router Configuration Step 1.

Step 2.

Use the following guidelines to configure the host name, banner, enable secret , and lines for R1, R2, and R3. Packet Tracer will only grade the host name configurations. ■

To avoid incorrect grading, make sure that the router names are configured in ALL CAPS.

■

Use the following text for the banner: Authorized Access Only.

■

For the secret , use class.

■

For the console and Telnet lines, configure access with the cisco.

Configure the router interfaces according to the following guidelines. ■

Use the IP address and subnet mask according to the addressing table in the section “Document the Addressing Scheme,” earlier in this chapter.

■

Configure the description for each interface (Packet Tracer will not grade this configuration).

■

Configure clocking signals at 64000 bps where necessary.

■

Activate the interfaces.

Your completion percentage should be 60%. If not, review the previous steps to see what part of the task you left incomplete. Step 3.

Save your configurations for R1, R2, and R3.

Task 2: Configure PCs Configure the PCs according to the addressing table in Table 5-1, with IP address, subnet mask, and connectivity to the default gateway. Your completion percentage should be 81%. If not, review the previous step to see what part of the task you left incomplete. After completing this task, save your Packet Tracer file to use again in the next section. Save the file as LSG02-0501-task2.pkt.

Configuring RIP as the Routing Protocol To enter router configuration mode for RIP, enter router rip at the global configuration prompt. What is the router prompt at this point? R1(config-router)#

What command would you enter to remove the RIP routing process from a device? R1(config)# no router rip

This command stops the RIP process and erases all existing RIP configurations. To enable RIP routing for a network, use the network command in router configuration mode and enter the classful network address for each directly connected network.


195

What two functions does this command achieve? ■

Enables RIP on all interfaces that belong to a specific network. Associated interfaces will now both send and receive RIP updates.

■

s the specified network in RIP routing updates sent to other routers every 30 seconds.

List the commands you will use for R1, R2 and R3. R1 RIP configurations: R1(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0

R2 RIP configurations: R2(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0 R2(config-router)# network 172.16.0.0

R3 RIP configurations: R3(config-router)# network 172.16.0.0 R3(config-router)# network 172.17.0.0


Packet Tracer Exercise 5-1 (Continued) Open your LSG02-0501-task2.pka saved version of this Packet Tracer Exercise and complete the task that follows.

Task 3: Configure RIP Routing Step 1.

Configure RIP routing on R1, R2, and R3.

Step 2.

that each router has a full routing table. Your completion percentage should be 93%. If not, review the previous steps to see what part of the task you left incomplete.


Verification and Troubleshooting It is important to be able to and troubleshoot your routing configuration. ing routing operations immediately after configuration will help solve any potential troubleshooting issues that might arise later. The exercises in the following sections reinforce your understanding of three important troubleshooting commands: show ip route, show ip protocols, and debug ip rip.

show ip route Command Examining the routing table is an easy way to see whether the routing protocol and commands have been properly configured. In Figure 5-5, the routing table for R2 is shown. Fill in the missing parts of the command output. If necessary, refer to your saved version of LSG02-0501-task3.pka. However, you should be able to determine all the missing information using the topology shown in Figure 5-4 and the addressing information you completed in Table 5-1.

                            ive Interfaces R1, R2, and R3 are currently sending out RIP updates on all interfaces—including LAN interfaces out which there is no RIP neighbor. Describe three ways these unnecessary updates negatively impact the LAN environment. ■


                            Bandwidth is wasted transporting unnecessary updates. Because RIP updates are broadcast, switches will forward the updates out all ports.


                            ■


                            All devices on the LAN must process the update up to the transport layers, where the receiving device will discard the update.


                            ■


                            Advertidates on a broadcast network is a security risk. RIP updates can be intercepted with packet-sniffing software. Routing updates can be modified and sent back to the router, corrupting the routing table with false metrics that misdirect traffic.


                            What command, including the router prompt, do you use to stop unnecessary updates out an interface? Router(config-router)# ive-interface interface

                            Automatic Summarization Fewer number of routes in a routing table means that the routing table process can more quickly locate the route needed to forward the packet. Summarizing several routes into a single route is known as route summarization or route aggregation. Some routing protocols, such as RIP, automatically summarize routes on certain routers. The following sections reinforce your knowledge of automatic summarization and describe how RIP performs this automatic summarization.


                            Automatic Summarization Concepts Boundary Routers and Automatic Summarization RIP is a classful routing protocol that automatically summarizes classful networks across major network boundaries. In the topology shown earlier in Figure 5-4, which router or routers are boundary routers? Why? R2 is a boundary router because it has interfaces in two different major classful networks: 192.168.1.0 and 172.16.0.0. Boundary routers summarize RIP subnets from one major network to the other but  subnet addresses within the boundary. What networks/subnets does R2 send to R3? 192.168.1.0 What networks/subnets does R2 send to R1? 192.168.1.96, 172.16.0.0, 172.17.0.0 If you are not sure, use debug ip rip on your LSG02-0501-end.pka file. Rules for Processing RIPv1 Updates In regard to RIP’s classful operation, what two rules govern RIPv1 updates: ■


                            If a routing update and the interface on which it is received belong to the same major network, the subnet mask of the interface is applied to the network in the routing update.


                            ■


                            If a routing update and the interface on which it is received belong to different major networks, the classful subnet mask of the network is applied to the network in the routing update.

                            Advantages and Disadvantages of Automatic Summarization Automatic summarization has both advantages and disadvantages. List two advantages to automatic summarization. ■


                            Smaller routing updates are sent and received, which uses less bandwidth for routing updates between R2 and R3.


                            ■


                            A single route representing multiple networks results in a faster lookup process in the routing table.


                            What is the main disadvantage of automatic summarization? You cannot have discontiguous network configurations because these configurations do not converge.

                            What are the classful networks used in this topology? Also, indicate the default subnet mask for each. 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/16, 192.168.1.0/24 Is the address assignment contiguous or discontiguous? Contiguous What router or routers are boundary routers, and what classful addresses are each the boundary of? R1 is a boundary router for 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/16, and 192.168.1.0/24. R5 is a boundary router for 10.0.0.0/8 and 172.16.0.0/16. Will the network be fully converged with RIPv1 routing? Yes, because it is contiguous, RIPv1 will converge.

                            List the network/subnet mask entries that will be the routing table for each router.  that not all routers will have full knowledge of the individual subnets. R1 routing table: Network/subnet masks in R1’s routing table: 10.10.0.0/16, 10.20.0.0/16, 10.30.0.0/16, 10.40.0.0/16, 172.16.1.0/24, 172.16.2.0/24, 172.16.3.0/24, 192.168.1.64/26, and 192.168.1.128/26 Network/subnet masks in R2’s routing table: 10.10.0.0/16, 10.20.0.0/16, 10.30.0.0/16, 10.40.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/16, and 192.168.1.0/24 Network/subnet masks in R3’s routing table: 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/16, 192.168.1.64/26 and 192.168.128/26 Network/subnet masks in R4’s routing table: 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.1.0/24, 172.16.2.0/24, 172.16.3.0/24, and 192.168.1.0/24 Network/subnet masks in R5’s routing table: 10.10.0.0/16, 10.20.0.0/16, 10.30.0.0/16, 10.40.0.0/16, 172.16.1.0/24, 172.16.2.0/24, 172.16.3.0/24, and 192.168.1.0/24 Are there any other problems with this configuration? Yes. R4 will have a suboptimal entry because it will load-balance between R1 and R5 when routing to the 10.0.0.0/8 classful network. This is suboptimal for the LAN attached to R5, which is best reached by always sending traffic directly to R5. In addition, when sending packets to the R2 LAN, R4 will load-balance between R1 and R5. This is also suboptimal because the best route is through R1. Although there is no Packet Tracer Activity file for you to use, you can test your answers to the preceding questions by building and configuring the topology shown in Figure 5-8 from scratch.


                            Default Routes and RIPv1 Default routes are used by routers to represent all routes that are not specifically in the routing table. In the following sections, you will configure the topology to use default routing.


                            Default Routing Exercise Figure 5-9 shows the modified topology to include static and default routing. R3 is the service provider with access to the Internet, as signified by the cloud. R3 and R2 do not exchange RIP updates. Instead, R2 uses a default route to reach the R3 LAN and all other destinations that are not listed in its routing table. R3 uses a summary static route to reach the subnets of 192.168.1.0/24.

                            What commands do you need to enter on R2 and R3 to modify the topology for this configuration? On R2: Remove network 172.16.0.0 from RIP and set the S0/0/1 interface to ive. R2(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s0/0/1 R2(config)# router rip R2(config-router)# no network 172.16.0.0 R2(config-router)# ive-interface s0/0/1

                            To provide Internet connectivity to all other networks in the RIP routing domain, the default static route needs to be d to all other routers that use the dynamic routing protocol. What command will configure R2 to propagate the default route to R1? R2(config-router)# default-information originate

                            Task 1: Remove RIP Routing Step 1.


                            Using the commands you specified in the section “Default Routing Exercise,” earlier in this chapter, disable RIP routing on R3.


                            Step 2.


                            Using the commands you specified in the section “Default Routing Exercise,” complete the following configurations of R2: ■


                            Disable RIP for the appropriate network.


                            ■


                            Disable RIP updates on the appropriate interface.


                            Your completion percentage should be 25%. If not, review the previous steps to see what part of the task you left incomplete.


                            Task 2: Configure Default and Static Routing Step 1.


                            Configure R3 with the necessary static route. Use the exit interface argument.


                            Step 2.


                            Configure R2 with a default route. Use the exit interface argument.


                            Step 3.


                            Configure R2 to propagate the default route to other routers (R1, in this topology). Your completion percentage should be 100%. If not, review the previous steps to see what part of the task you left incomplete.


                            Task 3:  Connectivity All PCs and routers should have end-to-end connectivity. Pinging from any source to any destination should be successful. You can also click Check Results and then click the Connectivity Tests tab to see whether all the connectivity tests are successful.


                            Task 4: Save the Packet Tracer File Save your Packet Tracer file as LSG02-0502-end.pka.

                            Enable dynamic routing. To enable a dynamic routing protocol, enter global configuration mode and use the router command. Enter router ? at the global configuration prompt to a see a list of available routing protocols on your router. To enable RIP, enter the router rip command in global configuration mode. R1(config)# router rip R1(config-router)#

                            Step 2.


                            207


                            Enter classful network addresses. When you are in routing configuration mode, enter the classful network address for each directly connected network, using the network command: R1(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0 R1(config-router)# network 192.168.2.0 R1(config-router)#


                            The network command does the following: ■


                            Enables RIP on all interfaces that belong to this network. These interfaces will now both send and receive RIP updates.


                            ■


                            s this network in RIP routing updates sent to other routers every 30 seconds.


                            When you are finished with the RIP configuration, return to privileged EXEC mode and save the current configuration to NVRAM: R1(config-router)# end %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console R1# copy run start


                            Step 3.


                            Configure RIP on the R2 router using the router rip and network commands: R2(config)# router rip R2(config-router)# network 192.168.2.0 R2(config-router)# network 192.168.3.0 R2(config-router)# network 192.168.4.0 R2(config-router)# end %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console R2# copy run start


                            When you are finished with the RIP configuration, return to privileged EXEC mode and save the current configuration to NVRAM. Step 4.


                            Configure RIP on the R3 router using the router rip and network commands: R3(config)# router rip R3(config-router)# network 192.168.4.0 R3(config-router)# network 192.168.5.0 R3(config-router)# end %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console R3# copy run start


                            When you are finished with the RIP configuration, return to privileged EXEC mode and save the current configuration to NVRAM.

                               R1 is indeed configured with RIP. R1 is sending and receiving RIP updates on FastEthernet 0/0 and Serial 0/0/0. R1 is advertising networks 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0. R1 has one routing information source. R2 is sending R1 updates. Step 3.

                               Sometimes when changing the IP address on a serial interface, you might need to reset that interface by using the shutdown command, waiting for the LINK-5-CHANGED message, and then using the no shutdown command. This process will force the IOS to starting using the new IP address: R1(config)# int s0/0/0 R1(config-if)# ip add 172.30.2.1 255.255.255.0 R1(config-if)# shutdown %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial0/0/0, changed state to istratively down %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial0/0/0, changed state to down R1(config-if)# no shutdown %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial0/0/0, changed state to up R1(config-if)# %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial0/0/0, changed state to up


                               Step 2.


                                that routers are active. After reconfiguring all the interfaces on all three routers,  that all necessary interfaces are active with the show ip interface brief command.


                               Step 3.


                               Remove the RIP configurations from each router. Although you can remove the old network commands with the no version of the command, it is more efficient to simply remove RIP and start over. Remove the RIP configurations from each router with the no router rip global configuration command. This will remove all the RIP configuration commands including the network commands: R1(config)# no router rip R2(config)# no router rip R3(config)# no router rip

                               Task 2: Configure RIP Step 1.


                               Configure RIP routing on R1 as shown here. R1(config)# router rip R1(config-router)# network 172.30.0.0


                               Notice that only a single network statement is needed for R1. This statement includes both interfaces on different subnets of the 172.30.0.0 major network. Step 2.


                               Configure R1 to stop sending updates out the FastEthernet 0/0 interface. Sending updates out this interface wastes the bandwidth and processing resources of all devices on the LAN. In addition, advertidates on a broadcast network is a security risk. RIP updates can be intercepted with packet-sniffing software. Routing updates can be modified and sent back to the router, corrupting the router table with false metrics that misdirect traffic. The ive-interface fastethernet 0/0 command is used to disable sending RIPv1 updates out that interface. When you are finished with the RIP configuration, return to privileged EXEC mode and save the current configuration to NVRAM: R1(config-router)# ive-interface fastethernet 0/0 R1(config-router)# end %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console R1# copy run start


                               Step 2.


                               Configure RIP routing on R2 as shown here. R2(config)# router rip R2(config-router)# network 172.30.0.0 R2(config-router)# network 192.168.4.0 R2(config-router)# ive-interface fastethernet 0/0 R2(config-router)# end %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console R2# copy run start


                               Again notice that only a single network statement is needed for the two subnets of 172.30.0.0. This statement includes both interfaces, on different subnets, of the 172.30.0.0 major network. The network for the WAN link between R2 and R3 is also configured. When you are finished with the RIP configuration, return to privileged EXEC mode and save the current configuration to NVRAM. Step 3.


                               Configure RIP routing on R3 as shown here. R3(config)# router rip R3(config-router)# network 192.168.4.0 R3(config-router)# network 192.168.5.0 R3(config-router)# ive-interface fastethernet 0/0 R3(config-router)# end %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console R3# copy run start

                               Note: RIPv1 is a classful routing protocol. Classful routing protocols do not send the subnet mask with network in routing updates.

                               Scenario C: Running RIPv1 on a Stub Network In this scenario, you will modify Scenario B to only run RIP between R1 and R2. Scenario C is a typical configuration for most companies connecting a stub network to a central headquarters router or an ISP. Typically, a company runs a dynamic routing protocol (RIPv1 in our case) within the local network but finds it unnecessary to run a dynamic routing protocol between the company’s gateway router and the ISP. For example, colleges with multiple campuses often run a dynamic routing protocol between campuses but use default routing to the ISP for access to the Internet. In some cases, remote campuses can even use default routing to the main campus, choosing to use dynamic routing only locally. Refer to Figure 5-12 for the discussion of Scenario C. Figure 5-12

                               To keep our example simple, for Scenario C, we left the addressing intact from Scenario B. Assume that R3 is the ISP for Company XYZ, which consists of the R1 and R2 routers using the 172.30.0.0/16 major network, subnetted with a /24 mask. Company XYZ is a stub network, meaning that there is only one way in and one way out of the 172.30.0.0/16 network: in through R2 (the gateway router) and out through R3 (the ISP). It doesn’t make sense for R2 to send R3 RIP updates for the 172.30.0.0 network every 30 seconds, because R3 has no other way to get to 172.30.0.0 except through R2. It makes more sense for R3 to have a static route configured for the 172.30.0.0/16 network pointing to R2. How about traffic from Company XYZ toward the Internet? It makes no sense for R3 to send over 120,000 summarized Internet routes to R2. All R2 needs to know is that if a packet is not destined for a host on the 172.30.0.0 network, it should send the packet to the ISP, R3. This is the same for all other Company XYZ routers (only R1 in our case). They should send all traffic not destined for the 172.30.0.0 network to R2. R2 would then forward the traffic to R3.

                               Task 1: Make Changes Between Scenario B and Scenario C Step 1.


                               Remove network 192.168.4.0 from the RIP configuration for R2. Remove network 192.168.4.0 because no updates will be sent between R2 and R3, and you don’t want to  the 192.168.4.0 network to R1: R2(config)# router rip R2(config-router)# no network 192.168.4.0


                               Step 2.


                               Remove RIP routing from R3. R3(config)# no router rip


                               Task 2: Configure the Static Route on R3 for the 172.30.0.0/16 Network Because R3 and R2 are not exchanging RIP updates, you need to configure a static route on R3 for the 172.30.0.0/16 network: R3(config)# ip route 172.30.0.0 255.255.0.0 serial0/0/1


                               This will send all 172.30.0.0/16 traffic to R2.


                               Task 3: Configure a Default Static Route on R2 Step 1.


                               Configure R2 to send default traffic to R3. Configure a default static route on R2 that will send all default traffic—packets with destination IP addresses that do not match a specific route in the routing table—to R3: R2(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial 0/0/1


                               Step 2.


                               Configure R2 to send default static route information to R1. The default-information originate command is used to configure R2 to include the default static route with its RIP updates. Configure this command on R2 so that the default static route information is sent to R1: R2(config)# router rip R2(config-router)# default-information originate R2(config-router)#


                               Note: Sometimes it is necessary to clear the RIP routing process before the default-information originate command will work. First, try the clear ip route * command on both R1 and R2. This command will cause the routers to immediately flush routes in the routing table and request updates from each other. Sometimes this does not work with RIP. If the default route information is still not sent to R1, save the configuration on R1 and R2 and then reload both routers. Doing this will reset the hardware, and both routers will restart the RIP routing process.


                               Task 4:  RIP Routing Step 1.


                               Use the show ip route command to view the routing table on R2 and R1.

                               Scenario In this lab activity, you will be given a network address that must be subnetted to complete the addressing of the network shown in Figure 5-13. A combination of RIPv1 and static routing will be required so that hosts on networks that are not directly connected will be able to communicate with each other. Use the information in Table 5-6 for reference. Step 2 of Task 2 asks you to complete the information in Table 5-6 for documentation purposes.

                               Scenario In this lab, you will begin by loading configuration scripts on each of the routers. These scripts contain errors that will prevent end-to-end communication across the network. You will need to troubleshoot each router to determine the configuration errors and then use the appropriate commands to correct the configurations. When you have corrected all the configuration errors, all the hosts on the network should be able to communicate with each other. Figure 5-14 shows the topology diagram for this lab, and Table 5-7 shows interface, IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway (where applicable) information for all devices in the network.

                               Design an addressing scheme. Use the topology shown in Figure 5-15, along with the following requirements, to design an addressing scheme: ■


                               The WAN links between R1 and R2 and their respective ISP routers are already configured. Also, the links between the ISPs and the Web Servers are already configured.

                               Because RIPv1 is a classful routing protocol, you cannot implement variable-length subnet masking (VLSM). Subnet each region’s address space using the following guidelines: ■


                               The largest subnet in Region 1’s address space is 1000 hosts. What is the subnet mask you should use for the 10.1.0.0/16 address space? 255.255.252.0


                               ■


                               The largest subnet in Region 2’s address space is 500 hosts. What is the subnet mask you should use for the 172.20.0.0/16 address space? 255.255.254.0

                               For the LANs in Region 1, assign subnet 0 to the LAN attached to FastEthernet 0/0 on B1-R1. Continue to assign LANs in sequence. Subnet 1 is assigned to the LAN attached to FastEthernet 0/1 on B1-R1, Subnet 2 to FastEthernet 1/0, Subnet 3 to FastEthernet 1/1, and so on.


                               ■


                               For the WANs in Region 1, assign the last subnet to the link between R1 and B3-R1, the second-to-last subnet to the link between R1 and B2-R1, and the third-to-last subnet to the link between R1 and B1-R1.

                               Optional: On the topology, label each subnet. To save space, use only the last two octets because only these octets change.


                               ■


                               Use Tables 5-8 and 5-9 to document the IP addresses and subnet masks. Assign the first IP address to the router interface.

                               For the WAN links, assign the first IP address to R1 and R2 for links to each router’s respective B1, B2, and B3 routers.


                               Task 3: Apply a Basic Configuration Using your documentation, configure the routers with basic configurations including addressing. Use cisco as the line s and class as the secret . Use 64000 as the clock rate.


                               Task 4: Configure Static Routing Between ISP Routers Each ISP router already has two static routes to the other ISP router’s directly connected WANs. Implement static routing on each ISP router to ensure connectivity between the two regions.


                               Task 5: Configure RIPv1 Routing in Region 1 and Region 2 Configure RIP routing on all regional routers. , the ISP routers are only using static routing.

                               Task 6: Disable RIP Updates on Appropriate Interfaces RIP updates do not need to be sent out all the router interfaces. Disable RIP updates on appropriate interfaces.


                               Task 7: Configure Default Routes and Redistribute Through RIP Determine which routers need a default route. Then configure that router to redistribute the default route to other routers in the region.


                               Task 8:  Full Connectivity Between All Devices in the Topology Step 1.


                               Test connectivity. You should now have end-to-end connectivity. Use ping to test connectivity across the network. Each router should be able to ping all other router interfaces and both Web Servers. Troubleshoot until pings are successful.


                               Step 2.


                               Examine the configuration. Use verification commands to make sure that your configurations are complete.

                               Study Guide Classful and Classless Addressing One of the ways to characterize routing protocols is either as classful or classless. This is a result of the evolution from classful to classless IPv4 addressing. As networks began to use classless addressing, classless routing protocols had to be modified or developed to include the subnet mask in the routing update. The exercises in the following section review classful and classless addressing.


                               Move from Classful to Classless Addressing Exercise As of January 2007, there were over 433 million hosts on the Internet. Without the introduction of VLSM and CIDR notation in 1993 (RFC 1519), Network Address Translation (NAT) in 1994 (RFC 1631), and private addressing in 1996 (RFC 1918), the IPv4 32-bit address space would now be exhausted. High-Order Bits Class A, B, and C addresses were defined with a specific format for the high-order bits, which are the leftmost bits in a 32-bit address.

                               Class A networks used the first octet for network assignment, which translated to a 255.0.0.0 classful subnet mask. Because only 7 bits were left in the first octet (, the first bit is always 0), this made 2 7, or 128, networks. With 24 bits in the host portion, each Class A address had the potential for over 16 million individual host addresses. Class B networks used the first two octets for network assignment, which translated to a 255.255.0.0 classful subnet mask. With the first 2 bits already established as 1 and 0, 14 bits remained for asg networks, which resulted in 16,384 Class B network addresses. Because each Class B network address contained 16 bits in the host portion, it controlled 65,534 addresses. Class C networks used the first three octets for network assignment, which translated to a 255.255.255.0 classful subnet mask. With the first 3 bits already established as 1, 1, and 0, 21 bits remained for asg networks, for over 2 million Class C networks. But, each Class C network only had 8 bits in the host portion, or 254 possible host addresses. Classful Routing Protocol , a classful routing protocol does not include the subnet mask in the routing update. It could be determined by the value of the first octet, or more accurately, the first 3 bits of the address. Classless IP Addressing In 1993, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) introduced classless interdomain routing, or CIDR (RFC 1517). What two major provisions did CIDR allow? ■


                               More efficient use of IPv4 address space


                               ■


                               Prefix aggregation, which reduced the size of routing tables


                               To CIDR-compliant routers, address class is meaningless. The network portion of the address is determined by the network subnet mask, also known as the network prefix, or prefix length (/8, /19, and so on). The network address is no longer determined by the class of the address. CIDR and Route Summarization CIDR uses variable-length subnet masks (VLSM) to allocate IP addresses to subnets according to individual need rather than by class. CIDR allowed prefix aggregation, which you already know as route summarization. Recall from Chapter 2, “Static Routing,” that you can create one static route for multiple networks. Internet routing tables were now able to benefit from the same type of aggregation of routes by combining multiple class addresses into one supernet, which summarizes multiple network addresses with a mask less than the classful mask.

                               Classless Routing Protocol Classless routing protocols include RIPv2, EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP. These routing protocols include the subnet mask with the network address in their routing updates.


                               VLSM In a previous course, you learned how variable-length subnet masking (VLSM) allows the use of different masks for each subnet. After a network address is subnetted, those subnets can be further subnetted. As you most likely recall, VLSM is simply subnetting a subnet. VLSM can be thought of as sub-subnetting. In the following sections, you will work through four VLSM exercises and six VLSM scenarios.


                               VLSM Addressing Design Exercises In the following VLSM addressing design exercises, you will apply your VLSM addressing skills to a three-router topology. Each exercise is progressively more difficult than the previous one. There might be more than one correct answer in some situations. However, you should always practice good addressing design by asg your subnets contiguously. This will allow the summary of a group of subnets into one aggregate route, thus decreasing the size of routing tables.


                               Exercise 1 Assume that 4 bits were borrowed from the host portion of 192.168.1.0/24. You are not using VLSM. Starting with subnet 0, label Figure 6-1 contiguously with subnets. Start with the LAN on RTA and proceed clockwise. Figure 6-1

                               How many TOTAL valid host addresses will be wasted on the WAN links? We assigned three WAN subnets with 14 hosts each. Two hosts are used; therefore, 12 hosts x 3 WAN subnets = 36 wasted host addresses. Now come up with a better addressing scheme using VLSM. Start with the same 4 bits borrowed from the host portion of 192.168.1.0/24. Label each of the LANs with a subnet. Then subnet the next available subnet to provide WAN subnets without wasting any host addresses. Label Figure 6-2 with the subnets.

                               CIDR CIDR (classless interdomain routing) is a prefix-based standard for the interpretation of IP addresses. CIDR allows routing protocols to summarize multiple networks, a block of addresses, as a single route. With CIDR, IP addresses and their subnet masks are written as four octets, separated by periods, followed by a forward slash and a number that represents the subnet mask (slash notation). For example, 172.16.1.0/24. As you previously learned, route summarization, also known as route aggregation, is the process of advertising a contiguous set of addresses as a single address with a less-specific, shorter subnet mask.  that CIDR is a form of route summarization and is synonymous with the term supernetting.

                               Scenario In this activity, the network address 172.16.128.0/17 has been used to provide the IP addressing for the network shown in Figure 6-18. VLSM has been used to subnet the address space incorrectly. You will need to troubleshoot the addressing that has been assigned for each subnet (see Table 6-10) to determine where errors are present and then determine the correct addressing assignments, where needed.

                               Task 1: Design and Document an Addressing Scheme Step 1.


                               Design an addressing scheme. Using the topology in Figure 6-22 and the following requirements, design an addressing scheme: ■


                               The WAN links between R1 and R2 and their respective ISP routers are already configured. Also, the links between the ISPs and the web servers are already configured.


                               ■


                               The address space for Region 1 is 10.1.0.0/16. Each branch router (B1-R1, B2-R1, and B3-R1) should be allotted address space based on the following requirements. Starting with the largest requirement, assign address space to each router:


                               ■


                               ■


                               B1-R1 needs space for 32,000 hosts: 10.1.0.0/17


                               ■


                               B2-R1 needs space for 16,000 hosts: 10.1.128.0/18


                               ■


                               B3-R1 needs space for 8000 hosts: 10.1.192.0/19


                               Divide the address space for each branch router into four equal subnets. Record the subnets in the following tables.

                               Task 3: Apply a Basic Configuration Using your documentation, configure the routers with basic configurations including addressing. Use cisco as the line s and class as the secret . Use 64000 as the clock rate.


                               Task 4: Configure Static Routing Between ISP Routers Each ISP router already has two static routes to the other ISP router’s directly connected WANs. Implement static routing on each ISP router to ensure connectivity between the two regions.


                               Task 5: Configure RIPv2 Routing in Region 1 and Static Routing in Region 2 Step 1.


                               Configure RIPv2 routing in Region 1. Configure all routers in Region 1 (R1, B1-R1, B2-R1, and B3-R1) with RIP as the dynamic routing protocol. To fully appreciate the implementation of your VLSM design in a dynamic routing environment, add the following two commands to your RIP configurations: Router(config-router)# version 2 Router(config-router)# no auto-summary


                               The version 2 command enables RIPv2, which includes the sending of subnet mask information in routing updates. By default, RIPv2 summarizes updates at classful boundaries just like RIPv1. The no auto-summary command disables auto-summarization. These two commands will be fully explained in the next chapter. Step 2.


                               Configure static routing in Region 2. Region 2 is not using a dynamic routing protocol. Configure the routers with the necessary static and default routes to ensure full end-to-end connectivity: ■


                               R2 should have three static routes and one default route.


                               ■


                               B1-R2, B2-R2, and B3-R2 should have one default route each.


                               Task 6: Disable RIP Updates on Appropriate Interfaces RIP updates do not need to be sent out all the router interfaces. Disable RIP updates on appropriate interfaces.


                               Task 7: Configure Default Routes and Redistribute Through RIP In Region 1, determine which router needs a default route. Then configure that router to redistribute the default route to other routers in the region.

                               Task 8:  Full Connectivity Between All Devices in the Topology Step 1.


                               Test connectivity. You should now have end-to-end connectivity. Use ping to test connectivity across the network. Each router should be able to ping all other router interfaces and both web servers. Troubleshoot until pings are successful.


                               Step 2.


                               Examine the configuration. Use verification commands to make sure that your configurations are complete.

                               The Study Guide portion of this chapter uses a combination of matching, fill-in-the-blank, multiple-choice, and open-ended question exercises to test your knowledge and skills of RIPv2 concepts and configuration. The Labs and Activities portion of this chapter includes all the online curriculum labs to ensure that you have mastered the practical, hands-on skills needed to understand RIPv2 routing. As you work through this chapter, use Chapter 7 in Routing Protocols and Concepts, CCNA Exploration Companion Guide or use the corresponding Chapter 7 in the Exploration Routing Protocols and Concepts online curriculum for assistance.

                               Study Guide RIPv1 Limitations The main limitation of RIPv1 is that it is a classful routing protocol. As you know, classful routing protocols do not include the subnet mask with the network address in routing updates. This can cause problems with discontiguous subnets or networks that use variable-length subnet masking (VLSM). In the following sections of the Study Guide, you will design a discontiguous addressing scheme and answer questions related to its implementation.


                               Documenting the Addressing Scheme Refer to the topology shown in Figure 7-1. Using the 10.1.16.0/21 address space for LANs and the 172.16.1.0/28 address space for WANs, you will design an appropriate addressing scheme. Figure 7-1

                               LAN Subnets To begin your design, you will need to determine the subnets that you will use. To use the available address space most efficiently, start with your largest host requirements and work sequentially to the smallest host requirement. Starting with the LAN subnets, answer the following questions and fill in the subnets in Table 7-1.

                               Task 1: Basic Router Configuration Step 1.


                               ISP is already configured. Use the following guidelines to configure the host name, banner, enable secret , and lines for HQ, B1, B2, and B3. Packet Tracer will only grade the host name configurations.


                               Chapter 7: RIPv2


                               Step 2.


                               ■


                               To avoid incorrect grading, make sure that the router names are configured in ALL CAPS.


                               ■


                               Use the following text for the banner: Authorized Access Only.


                               ■


                               For the secret , use class.


                               ■


                               For the console and Telnet lines, configure  access with the  cisco.


                               311


                               Configure the interfaces according to the following guidelines. ■


                               Use the IP address and subnet mask according to the addressing table in the section “Documenting the Addressing Scheme,” earlier in this chapter.


                               ■


                               Configure a description for each interface (Packet Tracer will not grade this configuration).


                               ■


                               Configure clocking signals at 64000 bps where necessary.


                               ■


                               Activate the interfaces.


                               Your completion percentage should be 64%. If not, review the previous steps to see what part of the task you left incomplete. Step 3.


                               Save your configurations for H1, B1, B2, and B3.


                               After completing the basic configurations, be sure to test for connectivity with directly connected neighbors. Save your Packet Tracer file to use again in the next section. Save the file as LSG02-0701task1.pkt.


                               Dynamic and Static Routing Configuration Now that you have an addressing scheme and your routers have a basic configuration, it is time to configure routing. In this exercise, you will continue to use Figure 7-1 and Table 7-1 as your documentation.


                               RIPv1 Configuration HQ and the Branch routers use dynamic routing. Starting at the global configuration command prompt, record the commands that each router will need to correctly configure RIPv1 routing. router rip network 10.0.0.0 network 172.16.0.0


                               Each RIP router also has interfaces that should not participate in RIP updates. Record the commands for each router to stop RIP updates where appropriate. HQ will not be sending RIP updates to ISP. HQ configurations: HQ(config-router)# ive-interface fa0/0 HQ(config-router)# ive-interface fa0/1 HQ(config-router)# ive-interface s0/0/0

                               B1, B2, and B3 configurations: ive-interface fa0/0 ive-interface fa0/1


                               Static and Default Routing HQ and ISP use static and default routing. To ensure that all routers have access to ISP, HQ will also need to propagate a default route. Record the commands necessary to configure static routing on HQ and ISP, including the command HQ needs to propagate the default route. ISP will need two summary static routes back to HQ. For all routes, use the exit interface argument. HQ configurations: HQ(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s0/0/0 HQ(config)# router rip HQ(config-router)# default-information originate


                               ISP configurations: ISP(config)# ip route 10.1.16.0 255.255.248.0 s0/0/0 ISP(config)# ip route 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.240 s0/0/0

                               Packet Tracer Exercise 7-1 Open your LSG02-0701-task1.pka saved version of this Packet Tracer Exercise. According to your answers to the questions in the “Dynamic and Static Routing Configuration” exercise, complete the steps in Task 2.


                               Task 2: Dynamic and Static Routing Configuration Step 1.


                               Configure RIP routing on HQ and the Branch routers (B1, B2, B3). Include the commands to stop unnecessary RIP updates.


                               Step 2.


                               Configure static and default routing between HQ and ISP. HQ should propagate the default route to the Branch routers.


                               Step 3.


                               View the routing tables for all routers. Notice that some routers have not yet converged on all the networks. Your completion percentage should be 90%. If not, review the previous steps to see what part of the task you left incomplete.


                               After completing the routing configurations, save your Packet Tracer file to use again in the next section. Save the file as LSG02-0701-task2.pkt. Keep the file open to use for the next section.

                               Note: Your version of Packet Tracer might not correctly display the routing tables. Use the routing tables shown in Example 7-1 to answer the following questions. 1.


                               Does B2 have connectivity to the web server? Why or why not?


                               Yes, when B2 and HQ both have default routes to ISP. ISP can route back to B2 because the ping request to the web server is sourced from 172.16.1.6, the Serial 0/0/0 interface on B2. ISP has a static route to 172.16.0.0/29, and HQ is directly connected to 172.16.1.4/30. 2.


                               Do the LANs attached to B2 have connectivity to the web server?


                               No. Although the pings will reach the web server and ISP will route replies back to HQ, HQ does not have routes to the 10.1.18.0/24 or 10.1.19.0/24 LAN. 3.


                               Do the LANs attached to B2 have connectivity to any of the LANs on HQ, B1, or B3?


                               No. B2 will drop pings for all those LANs because HQ is not advertising subnets of the 10.1.16.0/21 address spaces. HQ is sending B2 a route to 10.0.0.0, which B2 is ignoring because it is connected to that classful network. 4.


                               What is the main reason why connectivity fails for some locations?


                               RIPv1 is a classful routing protocol that does not  discontiguous addressing schemes.


                               Configuring RIPv2 The configuration of RIPv2 is straightforward. Although the commands will be reviewed, the following sections of the Study Guide will focus on the differences between RIPv1 and RIPv2 rather than the details of implementing RIPv2.


                               RIPv2 Message Format RIPv2 is defined in RFC 1723. Like version 1, RIPv2 is encapsulated in a UDP segment using port 520 and can carry up to 25 routes. Fill in the missing field names for the RIPv2 message format in Figure 7-2. Figure 7-2

                               RIPv2 Configurations By default, when a RIP process is configured on a Cisco router, it is running RIPv1. However, even though the router only sends RIPv1 messages, it can process both RIPv1 and RIPv2 messages. A RIPv1 router will just ignore the RIPv2 fields in the route entry. The show ip protocols command verifies that a router is configured with RIPv1 but receives messages for both versions. You will configure RIPv2 on all four routers: HQ, B1, B2, and B3. Starting at the global configuration command prompt, what commands must you enter to configure RIPv2? Router(config)# router rip Router(config-router)# version 2

                               The Branch routers are automatically summarizing the 10.0.0.0 subnets to the classful network 10.0.0.0/8 and sending this as the route entry to HQ. HQ has now installed these routes in the routing table, showing the variable subnet masks it now has for 10.0.0.0. 2.


                               By default, RIPv2 summarizes at the classful boundary just like RIPv1. Starting at the global configuration command prompt, what commands must you enter on all four routers so that HQ and the Branch routers will  the 10.0.0.0 subnets?

                               How many RIP routes do HQ and the Branch routers each have in the routing table for the 10.0.0.0 network?


                               All four routers should now have six RIP routes to subnets of the 10.0.0.0 network. 4.

                               View the routing tables for all routers. Each router should now have a route to all other destinations or a default route. If one or more of your routes have not yet converged with RIPv2, use the clear ip route * command to force the router to request RIP updates from its neighbors. Your completion percentage should be 100%. You can also check the Connectivity Tests. All tests should now show Correct status. If not, review the previous steps to see what part of the task you left incomplete.


                               Step 3.

                               VLSM and CIDR Because RIPv2 is a classless routing protocol, subnet masks are included in the routing updates, making RIPv2 more compatible with modern routing environments. Therefore, it is essential that you be very familiar with two skills directly related to classless routing protocols: subnetting a subnet and summarizing routes. See Chapter 6, “VLSM and CIDR,” if you need to review creating VLSM addressing schemes or summarizing routes.


                               RIPv2 and VLSM RIPv2 is a classless routing protocol, which means that it carries both the network address and the subnet mask in routing updates. Therefore, RIPv2 does not need to summarize networks to their classful boundaries.


                               Chapter 7: RIPv2


                               317


                               RIPv2 and CIDR CIDR stands for classless interdomain routing. Defined in RFC 1519, CIDR uses the concept of supernetting. A supernet is a block of contiguous classful networks represented as a single network address with a smaller mask than the classful mask. For example, given the route 172.16.0.0/12, how many classful network addresses are included in the route and what are they? 16 Class B routes from 172.16.0.0/16 through 172.31.0.0/16


                               ing and Troubleshooting RIPv2 There are several ways to  and troubleshoot RIPv2. Many of the same commands used for RIPv2 can be used to  and troubleshoot other routing protocols. It is always best to begin with the basics: 1.


                               Make sure that all the links (interfaces) are up and operational.


                               2.


                               Check the cabling.


                               3.


                               Check to make sure that you have the correct IP address and subnet mask on each interface.


                               4.


                               Remove any configuration commands that are no longer necessary or have been replaced by other commands.


                               Verification and Troubleshooting Commands The show ip route command is the first command to use to check for network convergence. This command displays the routing table so that you can  that all routes are listed. The show ip interface brief command can be used to  that directly connected networks are appropriately configured. If all the interfaces are properly configured, check the routing protocol configuration with the show ip protocols command. This command verifies many critical items, including RIP version, networks configured, and RIP neighbors. If these three commands do not provide enough information to solve a RIP routing problem, use the debug ip rip command to watch RIP updates as they are sent and received. Many times, a route is received but not added to the routing table. List at least one reason why this might happen: RIP is operating as a classful protocol because automatic summarization is in effect. A static route is configured for the network. Static routes have a lower AD and will be preferred over a RIP route to the same destination. The ping command is a quick way to test round-trip connectivity between a source and a destination. The show running-config command is the last command you should use to  and troubleshoot your configuration. Usually, other commands are more efficient and provide more information than a simple listing of the current configuration.

                               Common RIPv2 Issues When troubleshooting issues specific to RIPv2, there are several areas to examine. A good place to begin troubleshooting a network that is running RIP is to  that the version 2 command is configured on all routers. Another source of problems might be incorrect or missing network statements configured with the network command. This will cause routing updates to not be sent and received on an interface. If there is a need to send specific subnets of a classful network, make sure that automatic summarization has been disabled with the no auto-summary command. Also, make sure that RIP updates have not been inadvertently disabled with the ive-interface command.


                               Authentication A security concern of any routing protocol is the possibility of accepting invalid routing updates. The source of these invalid routing updates could be an attacker maliciously attempting to disrupt the network or trying to capture packets by tricking the router into sending its updates to the wrong destination. Another source of invalid updates could be a misconfigured router or even a host computer that is running the routing protocol unbeknownst to its . Whatever the reason, it is good practice to authenticate routing information. RIPv2, Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Intermediate System–to–Intermediate System (IS-IS), and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) can be configured to encrypt and authenticate routing information. This practice hides the content of the routing information, and routers will only accept routing information from other routers that have been configured with the same  or authentication information.

                               Scenario The network shown in Figure 7-3 contains a discontiguous network, 172.30.0.0. This network has been subnetted using VLSM. The 172.30.0.0 subnets are physically and logically divided by at least one other classful or major network, in this case the two serial networks 209.165.200.228/30 and 209.165.200.232/30. This can be an issue when the routing protocol used does not include enough information to distinguish the individual subnets. RIPv2 is a classless routing protocol that can be used to provide subnet mask information in the routing updates. This will allow VLSM subnet information to be propagated throughout the network. Table 7-5 documents the interface IP address, subnet masks, and default gateways (where applicable) for all the network devices in the topology diagram in Figure 7-3.

                               Both the R1 and R3 are advertising routes to the 172.30.0.0/16 network; therefore, there are two entries for this network in the R2 routing table. The R2 routing table shows only the major classful network address of 172.30.0.0. It does not show any of the subnets for this network that are used on the LANs attached to R1 and R3. Because the routing metric is the same for both entries, the router alternates the routes that are used when forwarding packets that are destined for the 172.30.0.0/16 network. Step 5.

                               Both R1 and R3 are configured with interfaces on a discontiguous network, 172.30.0.0. The 172.30.0.0 subnets are physically and logically divided by at least one other classful or major network—in this case, the two serial networks 209.165.200.228/30 and 209.165.200.232/30. Classful routing protocols like RIPv1 summarize networks at major network boundaries. Both R1 and R3 will be summarizing 172.30.0.0 subnets to 172.30.0.0. Because the route to 172.30.0.0/16 is directly connected, and because R1 does not have any specific routes for the 172.30.0.0 subnets on R3, packets destined for the R3 LANs will not be forwarded properly.

                               R2 is receiving the route 172.30.0.0, with 1 hop, from both R1 and R3. Because these are equal-cost metrics, both routes are added to the R2 routing table. Because RIPv1 is a classful routing protocol, no subnet mask information is sent in the update. R2 is sending only the routes for the 10.0.0.0 LAN and the two serial connections to R1 and R3. R1 and R3 are not receiving any information about the 172.30.0.0 subnet routes. When you are finished, turn off the debugging. R2# undebug all

                               RIPv2 messages include the subnet mask in a field in the routing updates. This allows subnets and their masks to be included in the routing updates. However, by default, RIPv2 summarizes networks at major network boundaries, just like RIPv1, except that the subnet mask is included in the update. Step 2.

                               Configure the PCs. Using your documentation, configure the PCs with an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateways.


                               Task 4: Test Connectivity Before continuing, make sure that each device can ping its directly connected neighbor.


                               Task 5: Configure and  RIPv2 Routing Step 1.


                               Configure RIPv2. Configure all devices with RIPv2 routing. In your configuration, make sure that you include the following:


                               Step 2.


                               ■


                               Disable automatic summarization.

                               Stop routing updates on interfaces that are not connected to RIP neighbors.


                                RIPv2. Use verification commands to check your configuration. All routers should be converged on all the 10.2.0.0/24 and 172.17.1.224/28 subnets.


                               Task 6: Configure Static and Default Routing Your configuration is not complete until all PCs can ping the web server. Use static and default routing to finish the configuration.


                               Task 7: Test Connectivity and Examine the Configuration All devices should have end-to-end connectivity, and the routing tables should be complete.

                               The Study Guide portion of this chapter uses a combination of matching, fill-in-the-blank, multiple-choice, and open-ended question exercises to test your knowledge of the routing table lookup process for both classful and classless routing behavior. The Labs and Activities portion of this chapter includes all the online curriculum labs to ensure that you have mastered the practical, hands-on skills needed to understand the routing table lookup process. As you work through this chapter, use Chapter 8 in Routing Protocols and Concepts, CCNA Exploration Companion Guide or use the corresponding Chapter 8 in the Exploration Routing Protocols and Concepts online curriculum for assistance.

                               Study Guide Routing Table Structure The structure or format of the routing table might seem obvious until you take a closer look. Understanding the structure of the routing table will help you  and troubleshoot routing issues because you will understand the routing table lookup process. You will know exactly what the Cisco IOS does when it searches for a route. The exercises in the following sections focus on the concepts of level 1 and level 2 routes.


                               Level 1 and Level 2 Routes The Cisco IP routing table is not a flat database, but a hierarchical structure that is used to speed the lookup process when locating routes and forwarding packets. This structure includes several levels. For simplicity, we will discuss all routes as one of two levels: level 1 or level 2. Briefly describe a level 1 route. A level 1 route is a route with a subnet mask equal to or less than the classful mask of the network address. List the three types of level 1 routes. Default route, supernet route, and network route List the three sources of level 1 routes. Directly connected network, static route, and dynamic routing protocol The level 1 route can be further defined as an ultimate route. An ultimate route is a route that includes one or both of the following: ■


                               A next-hop IP address


                               ■


                               An exit interface


                               Indicate which of the following routes are level 1 routes by writing “yes” or “no” in the blank in front of the route. Level 1 route? yes

                               Parent and Child Routes What is the main difference between a parent route and an ultimate route? A parent route does not have a next-hop IP address or an exit interface. Although a parent route is a level 1 route, the ultimate route is derived from a child route of the parent. What is the relationship between parent and child routes? A child route is a level 2 route that provides the next-hop IP address or exit interface for routing traffic to the destination. In the partial output of the routing table in Example 8-1, indicate whether each route is a parent route or a child route by checking the appropriate column. Example 8-1

                               Routing Table Lookup Process When a router receives a packet on one of its interfaces, the routing table lookup process compares the destination IP address of the packet with the entries in the routing table. The best match between the packet’s destination IP address and the route in the routing table is used to determine out which interface to forward the packet. Just exactly how that happens is the focus of the exercises in the following section.

If no route matches, simply state “No match.” No routes matches. The first child route, 172.16.0.0/18, is the closest to a longest match. The bits match through the 17th bit. However, the destination’s 18th bit is “on” whereas the 18th bit in 172.16.0.0/18 is “off.”

                               Routing Behavior What happens when there is a match between the packet’s destination IP address and a level 1 parent route, but there is not a match with any of the level 2 child routes? You might assume that the routing table lookup process continues looking for a less specific match in the routing table. However, you will see that this might or might not be the case, depending on the configuration of the router.


                               Classful and Classless Routing Behavior Routing behavior influences the process of searching for the preferred route using the no ip classless or ip classless commands. Classless and classful routing behaviors are not the same as classless and classful routing protocols. Classful and classless routing protocols affect how the routing table is populated. Classful and classless routing behaviors determine how the routing table is searched after it is populated. In Table 8-3, the routing protocols are listed. Indicate which are classful and which are classless. Table 8-3

                               In contrast to classful and classless routing protocols, what determines whether the router operates with classful or classless routing behavior? The commands no ip classless and ip classless Is it possible to have a classless routing protocol configured, yet a classful routing behavior implemented? If yes, give an example. If no, explain why not. Yes. The routing table could be populated with routes from a classless routing protocol like RIPv2, yet implement classful routing behavior because the no ip classless command is configured. Explanation: Building the routing table: The router learns about remote networks through RIPv2, a classless routing protocol. This means that the routing updates included a subnet mask and therefore  discontiguous networks and VLSM. The routing protocol is only used to populate the routing table. The routing protocol has no effect on the routing table lookup process. Lookup process: The router has been configured with classful routing behavior (no ip classless). If there is a match with the parent route, such as 172.16.0.0 (a 16-bit match), but not a match with any of the child routes, the router will drop the packet. Even if a lesser match exists in the routing table (less than the 16 bits of the parent route) such as a default route, that route will not be used.

If there is a match with the parent route, such as 172.16.0.0 (a 16-bit match), but not a match with any of the child routes, the router will continue to search the routing table for a lesser match. This could include the default route. If a lesser match is found, the router will forward the packet using that router. Otherwise, it will drop the packet.

                               The router, B3, receives a packet from 172.16.189.10 destined for 172.16.179.10. The router is running IOS Release 11.1 and RIPv2. No other configuration changes have been made. Use binary to prove which route in Example 8-4 is the longest match. Make sure that you designate the bits that must match between the IP address and the longest match route. If no route matches, simply state “No match.” Route 172.16.176.0/22 is the longest match. 10101100.00010000.10110011.00001010 10101100.00010000.10110000.00000000 The router, B3, receives a packet from 172.16.190.10 destined for 172.16.74.10. The router is running IOS Release 11.1 and RIPv2. No other configuration changes have been made. Use binary to prove which route in Example 8-4 is the longest match. Make sure that you designate the bits that must match between the IP address and the longest match route. If no route matches, simply state “No match.” No match. Because Release 11.1 operates with classful routing behavior by default, B3 does not use the default route. It discards the packet because it assumes that it has access to all available subnets of the classful 172.16.0.0 network. The router, B3, receives a packet from 172.16.190.10 destined for 172.16.192.10. The router is running Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0 and RIPv2. No other configuration changes have been made. Use binary to prove which route in Example 8-4 is the longest match. Make sure that you designate the bits that must match between the IP address and the longest match route. If no route matches, simply state “No match.” Only the default route matches. Because Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0 operates with classless routing behavior by default (ip classless), the router continues to check all available routes. Because none match, the router will use the default route if available. B3 forwards the packet using the default route.

The other is a level 1 route because its subnet mask is equal to the classful mask. Are any of the level 1 routes ultimate routes? Yes, 192.168.1.0/24 Why is this route an ultimate route? The 192.168.1.0/24 route is an ultimate route because the route contains the exit interface Serial 0/0/0. Are any of the level 1 routes parent routes? Yes, 172.16.0.0/24 Why is this route a level 1 parent route? This is a level 1 parent route because it is a level 1 route that does not contain a next-hop IP address or exit interface for any network. Which of the routes are level 2 routes? 172.16.1.0 172.16.2.0 172.16.3.0

                               The ping is unsuccessful because the router is using classful routing behavior. The route lookup process on the R2 router searches the routing table and finds that the first 16 bits of the destination address are a match with the parent route 172.16.0.0/16. Because the destination address matches the parent route, the child routes are checked. What are the child routes of the 172.16.0.0/16 parent network? 172.16.1.0/24 172.16.2.0/24 172.16.3.0/24 How many bits in the destination address must match for a packet to be forwarded using one of the child routes? 24 Does the destination address of the ping packets match any of the child routes of 172.16.0.0/16? no Because the no ip classless command has been used to configure the R2 router to use classful routing behavior, when a level 1 match is found, the router will not search beyond the child routes for a lesser match. Even though there is a default static route configured, it will not be used, and the packet will be dropped.

                               Use the ip classless command to reenable classless routing. R1(config)# ip classless R2(config)# ip classless R3(config)# ip classless

                               Examine the routing table on R2. Notice that the routing table is the still the same, even though the router configuration has been changed to use classless routing behavior.

                               The ping is successful this time because the router is using classless routing behavior. The destination address of the packet is a match with the level 1 parent route 172.16.0.0/16, but there is not a match with any of the child routes of this parent route. Because classless routing behavior is configured, the router will now continue to search the routing table for a route where there might be fewer bits that match, but the route is still a match. The mask of a default route is /0, which means that no bits need to match. In classless routing behavior, if no other route matches, the default route will always match. S*

                               Because there is a default route configured on the R2 router, this route is used to forward the packets to PC3. Step 4.

In this case, R3 uses the 172.16.0.0/16 child route and forwards the return traffic out Serial 0/0/1 back to R2.

                               Determine level 1 and level 2 routes


                               Scenario In this lab activity, you will derive the topology of a network from the output of the show ip route command. You must draw a topology diagram and determine the interface addressing on each router. Then you must build and configure the network based on the show ip route output. The DTE and DCE assignment is at your discretion. When complete, the output from your network must match those given in Task 1.

What are the IP addresses of the directly connected neighbors of the R1 router? 10.10.10.4 10.10.10.8 172.16.1.0/27 172.16.3.0/25 192.168.1.0/24 Which routes did R1 learn from the directly connected neighbors? 10.10.10.0 10.10.10.12 172.16.1.32/28 172.16.1.192/26 172.16.2.0/26 172.16.2.64/27 172.16.3.128/26 172.16.3.192/29 172.16.4.0/27 172.16.4.128/25


                               Step 2.


                               Examine the R2 routing table. How many total networks/subnets did R2 learn from its neighbors? 13 Where would R2 send packets to networks not currently in its routing table? Why? The packets would be sent to the R3 router at the IP address 10.10.10.2. This is the IP address that is the default route in the R2 routing table. What does the statement R* 0.0.0.0/0 [120/2] via 10.10.10.2, 00:00:04, Serial0/0/0 at the end of the R2 routing table represent? Default route to 10.10.10.2

                               Examine the R3 routing table. Which level 2 routes did R3 learn about from its neighbors? 10.10.10.8 10.10.10.12 172.16.1.0/27 172.16.1.32/28 172.16.2.0/26

                               Examine the R4 routing table. Which networks are the farthest distance from R4, and how many hops away are they? The 172.16.2.0/26 and 172.16.3.192/29 networks are three hops away. How many usable host addresses are on the networks farthest from R4? 62 and 6


                               Step 5.


                               Examine the R5 routing table. How many routers must a packet  through to get from R5 to network 172.16.2.0/26? 4 Why is the gateway of last resort for R5 listed as 10.10.10.13? It is the next-hop address on the way to the gateway of last resort.

                               Task 1: Design and Document an Addressing Scheme Step 1.


                               Design an addressing scheme. Using the topology provided in Figure 8-6 and the following requirements, design an addressing scheme: ■


                               The WAN links between R1 and R2 and their respective ISP routers are already configured. Also, the links between the ISPs and the web servers are already configured.


                               ■


                               The address space for Region 1 is 10.1.0.0/16. Each branch router (B1-R1, B2-R1, and B3-R1) should be allotted address space based on the following requirements. Starting with the largest requirement, assign address space to each router:


                               ■


                               ■


                               B1-R1 needs space for 16,000 hosts 10.1.0.0/18


                               ■


                               B2-R1 needs space for 8000 hosts 10.1.64.0/19


                               ■


                               B3-R1 needs space for 4000 hosts 10.1.96.0/20


                               Divide the address space for each branch router into four equal subnets. Record the subnets in the following tables.

                               Study Guide Introduction to EIGRP The main purpose in the Cisco development of Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) was to create a classless version of IGRP. EIGRP includes several features that are not commonly found in other distance vector routing protocols like RIP (RIPv1 and RIPv2) and IGRP. Although EIGRP can act like a link-state routing protocol, it is still a distance vector routing protocol. In the following sections of the Study Guide, you will review basic EIGRP concepts and packet types.

                               EIGRP Concepts Exercise Roots of EIGRP: IGRP Cisco developed the proprietary IGRP in 1985 in response to some of the limitations of RIPv1, including the use of the hop count metric and the maximum network size of 15 hops. Instead of hop count, both IGRP and EIGRP use metrics composed of bandwidth, delay, reliability, and load. By default, both routing protocols use only bandwidth and delay. However, because IGRP is a classful routing protocol, its usefulness is limited in many of today’s networks. Therefore, Cisco enhanced IGRP with a new algorithm, DUAL, and other features. Table 9-1 summarizes the main differences between a traditional distance vector routing protocol, such as RIP, and the enhanced distance vector routing protocol, EIGRP. Fill in the missing words and phrases. Table 9-1

                               Uses the Bellman-Ford or Ford-Fulkerson algorithm.


                               Uses the Diffudate Algorithm (DUAL).


                               Ages out routing entries and uses . periodic updates


                               Does not age out routing entries nor use periodic updates.


                               Keeps track of only the best routes, . the best path to a destination network


                               Maintains a topology table separate from the routing table, which includes the best path and any loop-free backup paths.


                               When a route becomes unavailable, the router must wait for a new routing update.


                               When a route becomes unavailable, DUAL will use a backup path if one exists in the topology table.


                               Slower convergence because of -hold-down timers.


                               Faster convergence because of the absence of hold-down timers and a system of coordinated route calculations.


                               Algorithm Traditional distance vector routing protocols all use some variant of the Bellman-Ford or FordFulkerson algorithm. These protocols, such as RIP and IGRP, age out individual routing entries and therefore need to periodically send routing table updates. EIGRP uses the Diffudate Algorithm (DUAL). EIGRP uses a lightweight Hello protocol to monitor connection status with its neighbors. Only changes in the routing information, such as a new link or a link becoming unavailable, cause a routing update to occur. Path Determination DUAL maintains a topology table separate from the routing table, which includes both the best path to a destination network and any backup paths that DUAL has determined to be loop-free. In EIGRP, loop-free means that a route has met a requirement known as the feasibility condition.

                               397


                               Convergence Because of the unreliable nature of periodic updates, traditional distance vector routing protocols are prone to routing loops and the count-to-infinity problem. RIP and IGRP use several mechanisms to help avoid these problems including hold-down timers, which cause long convergence times. EIGRP does not use hold-down timers. Instead, loop-free paths are achieved through a system of route calculations (diffusing computations) that result is faster convergence than traditional distance vector routing protocols.

RTP Reliable Transport Protocol (RTP) is the protocol used by EIGRP for the delivery and reception of EIGRP packets. EIGRP was designed as a network layer independent routing protocol; therefore, RTP includes both reliable delivery and unreliable delivery of EIGRP packets, similar to T and UDP, respectively. Reliable RTP requires an acknowledgment to be returned by the receiver to the sender. An unreliable RTP packet does not require an acknowledgment. RTP can send packets either as a unicast or a multicast. Multicast EIGRP packets use the reserved multicast address of 224.0.0.10. EIGRP Packet Types EIGRP relies on different types of packets to maintain its tables and establish relationships with neighbor routers. Complete the missing elements below by filling in appropriate words or phrases. When encountered, circle whether the packet is reliable or unreliable and whether it is unicast or multicast. Hello packets: ■


                               (Reliable/unreliable) (unicast/multicast) sent to the address 224.0.0.10 to discover and maintain neighbors; contains the router’s neighbor table

                               ■


                               Default Hello interval depends on the bandwidth: ■


                               ≤ 1.544 Mbps = 60 sec. Hello interval (180 hold time)


                               ■


                               > 1.544 Mbps = 5 sec. Hello interval (15 hold time)


                               Update packets: Sent (reliably/unreliably), there are 2 types: ■


                               (Unicast/multicast) to new neighbor discovered; contains routing table


                               ■


                               (Unicast/multicast) to all neighbors when topology changes


                               Query packets: Queries are (unicast/multicast) (reliably/unreliably) during route recomputation, asking neighbors for a new successor to a lost route. Reply packets: Neighbors (unicast/multicast) a reply to a query whether or not they have a route. Acknowledgment packets: “Dataless” (unicast/multicast) packets that acknowledge the receipt of packets that were sent reliably. This type is actually a Hello packet with a nonzero value in the acknowledgment field. Hello Protocol An EIGRP router assumes that as long as it is receiving Hello packets from a neighbor, the neighbor and its routes remain viable. Hold time tells the router the maximum time the router should wait to receive the next Hello before declaring that neighbor as unreachable. By default, this waiting period is three times the Hello interval, or 15 seconds on most networks and 180 seconds on networks with speeds of T1 or slower. If the time expires, EIGRP will declare the route as down and DUAL will search for a new path by sending out queries. EIGRP Bounded Updates Unlike RIP, EIGRP does not send periodic updates. Instead, EIGRP sends its updates only when the metric for a route changes. The term partial means that the update only includes information about the route changes. The term bounded refers to the propagation of partial updates sent only to those routers that are affected by the change. DUAL: An Introduction Diffudate Algorithm (DUAL) is the convergence algorithm used by EIGRP to calculate best routes and prevent routing loops. The decision process for all route computations is done by the DUAL Finite State Machine (FSM). The DUAL FSM tracks all routes; uses its metric to select efficient, loop-free paths; and selects the routes with the least-cost path to insert into the routing table. istrative Distance EIGRP has a default istrative distance of 90 for internal routes and 170 for routes imported from an external source, such as default routes. EIGRP has a third AD value of 5 for summary routes.


                               Basic EIGRP Configuration The following sections review the basics of EIGRP configuration. There are many similarities with the commands used in configuring other routing protocols such as RIP. In these sections of the Study Guide, you will design an addressing scheme and answer questions related to its implementation using EIGRP as the routing protocol.

                               LAN Subnets To begin your design, you will need to determine the subnets that you will use. To use the available address space most efficiently, start with your largest host requirement and work your way to the smallest host requirement. Starting with the LAN subnets, answer the following questions. For HQ, begin with the 10.10.0.0 address as the subnet for FastEthernet 0/0. What subnet mask would you use to provide enough space for 1000 s while maximizing the number of subnets? 255.255.252.0 or /22 Starting with 10.10.0.0, contiguously assign subnets to the LANs on HQ.

                               Packet Tracer Exercise 9-1 Now you are ready to use Packet Tracer to apply your documented addressing scheme. Open file LSG02-0901.pka on the CD-ROM that accompanies this book to perform this exercise using Packet Tracer.


                               Task 1: Basic Router Configuration Step 1.


                               Step 2.


                               ISP is already configured. Use the following guidelines to configure the host name, banner, enable secret , and lines for HQ, B1, B2, and B3. Packet Tracer will grade only the host name configurations. ■


                               To avoid incorrect grading, make sure that the router names are configured in ALL CAPS.


                               ■


                               Use the following text for the banner: Authorized Access Only.


                               ■


                               For the secret , use class.


                               ■


                               For the console and Telnet lines, configure  access with the  cisco.


                               Configure the interfaces according to the following guidelines. ■


                               Use the IP address and subnet mask according to the addressing table in the “Documenting the Addressing Scheme” exercise.


                               ■


                               Configure a description for each interface (Packet Tracer will not grade this configuration).


                               ■


                               Configure clocking signals at 64000 bps where necessary.


                               ■


                               Activate the interfaces.


                               Your completion percentage should be 53%. If not, review the previous steps to see what part of the task you left incomplete. Step 3.


                               Save your configurations for H1, B1, B2, and B3.


                               After completing the basic configurations, be sure to test for connectivity with directly connected neighbors. Save your Packet Tracer file to use again in the next section. Save the file as LSG02-0901task1.pkt.


                               Configuring EIGRP as the Routing Protocol By default, when using the network command and a classful network address such as 172.16.0.0, all interfaces on the router that belong to that classful network address will be enabled for EIGRP. However, for the topology shown in Figure 9-6, we only want to  the subnets that each router belongs to. List the commands you will use to configure EIGRP on HQ, B1, B2, and B3. Be sure to summarize the LANs into one network command. The configuration for HQ is shown as an example. HQ EIGRP routing configuration: HQ(config)# router eigrp 1 HQ(config-router)# network 172.16.1.32 0.0.0.15 HQ(config-router)# network 10.10.0.0 0.0.7.255

                               B1 EIGRP routing configuration: B1(config)# router eigrp 1 B1(config-router)# network 172.16.1.32 0.0.0.3 B1(config-router)# network 10.10.8.0 0.0.3.255


                               B2 EIGRP routing configuration: B2(config)# router eigrp 1 B2(config-router)# network 172.16.1.36 0.0.0.3 B2(config-router)# network 10.10.12.0 0.0.1.255


                               B3 EIGRP routing configuration: B3(config)# router eigrp 1 B3(config-router)# network 172.16.1.40 0.0.0.3 B3(config-router)# network 10.10.14.0 0.0.0.255


                               In addition to the network commands for each router, disable unnecessary EIGRP packets from being sent out interfaces that do not have an EIGRP neighbor. For example, HQ should neither send EIGRP Hello packets to ISP nor to the two LANs. What command will disable unnecessary EIGRP packets from being sent out an interface? (Hint: The command for RIP is exactly the same.) Router(config-route)# ive-interface interface


                               By default, EIGRP automatically summarizes routes at the major network boundary. Because the topology is discontiguous, you must disable this automatic summarization with the no auto-summary command, just as you did in RIPv2.


                               ing EIGRP Before any updates can be sent or received by EIGRP, routers must establish adjacencies with their neighbors. EIGRP routers establish adjacencies with neighbor routers by exchanging EIGRP Hello packets. Use the show ip eigrp neighbors command to view the neighbor table and  that EIGRP has established an adjacency with its neighbors. This command is useful for ing and troubleshooting EIGRP. Example 9-1 shows the neighbor table for HQ. Example 9-1

                               Another way to  that EIGRP and other functions of the router are configured properly is to examine the routing tables with the show ip route command. EIGRP routes are denoted in the routing table with a D, which stands for DUAL. Example 9-3 shows partial output from the routing table for B1 with the Null0 routes highlighted. Example 9-3

                               Briefly explain the purpose of the Null0 route. The 10.0.0.0/8 and 172.16.0.0/16 routes do not actually represent a path to reach the parent networks. If a packet does not match one of the level 2 child routes, it is sent to the Null0 interface. In other words, if the packet matches the level 1 parent—the classful network address—but none of the subnets, the packet is discarded.

                               EIGRP Metric Calculation Although EIGRP includes hop count in its routing updates, hop count is not used as part of the EIGRP composite metric. The following sections review the values of the EIGRP metric and describe how EIGRP performs the calculation to arrive at the metric displayed in the routing table.

                               Record the formula used to calculate the default EIGRP composite metric. Default metric = [K1*bandwidth + K3*delay] * 256 What command do you use to  the K values used by EIGRP? show ip protocols What command do you use to  the actual values of the EIGRP metric? show interface The bandwidth metric is displayed in Kbit (kilobits). Most serial interfaces use the default value of 1,544,000 bps, which is the value for a T1 connection. The value might or might not reflect the actual physical bandwidth of the interface. If the actual bandwidth of the link differs from the default value, you should modify the value. Delay is a measure of the time it takes for a packet to traverse a route. This metric is a static value and is expressed in microseconds. Reliability is a measure of the probability that the link will fail or how often the link has experienced errors. Unlike delay, it is measured dynamically with a value between 0 and 255, with 1 being a minimally reliable link and 255 being 100 percent reliable. Reliability is calculated on a 5-minute weighted average to avoid the sudden impact of high (or low) error rates. Load reflects the amount of traffic utilizing the link. It is measured dynamically with a value between 0 and 255. A lower value is more desirable because it indicates a less saturated link.
                              

                              

                               Modifying the Bandwidth On most serial links, the bandwidth metric will default to 1544 Kbits. This is the case with all the serial interfaces in Packet Tracer Exercise 9-1. However, notice in the chapter topology shown earlier in Figure 9-6 that the links between HQ and the Branch routers each have an actual bandwidth that is not the same as the default value on the interfaces. Record the commands necessary on each router to change the bandwidth metric to match the actual bandwidth. : HQ will have to modify the bandwidth on all interfaces connected to Branch routers.

A successor is a neighboring router that is used for packet forwarding and is the least-cost route to the destination network. Briefly explain what is meant by feasible distance. Feasible distance (FD) is the lowest calculated metric to reach the destination network. Examine the routing table for HQ in Example 9-4 and answer the questions that follow.

A feasible successor is a backup path to other routers maintained in a separate table so that DUAL does not have to be recomputed when the successor becomes unavailable. A feasible successor satisfies the feasibility condition.

                               411


                               Briefly explain feasibility condition. The feasibility condition (FC) is met when a neighbor’s reported distance (RD) to a network is less than the local router’s feasible distance to the same destination network. Briefly explain reported distance. The reported distance or d distance is simply an EIGRP neighbor’s feasible distance to the same destination network. The reported distance is the metric that a router reports to a neighbor about its own cost to that network. Topology Table: Successor and Feasible Successor The successor, feasible distance, and any feasible successors with their reported distances are kept by a router in its EIGRP topology table or topology database. This table can be viewed using the show ip eigrp topology command, as shown in Example 9-5. Note: The following table has been modified and does not completely relate to Packet Tracer Exercise 9-1.

Use the partial output in Example 9-5 to answer the following questions. For route 10.10.12.0/24 . . . What is the IP address of the successor? 172.16.1.38 What is the reported distance of the successor? 28160 What is the feasible distance of the successor? 5514496 What is the IP address of the feasible successor? 172.16.1.42 What is the reported distance of the feasible successor? 2172416 What is the feasible distance of the feasible successor? 7693056

                               Notice that the reported distance of the feasible successor is less than the feasible distance of the successor. For route 10.10.14.128/25 . . .

What happens if an EIGRP router doesn’t have a feasible successor in the topology table and the router loses connection to the successor? DUAL must be recomputed and neighbors queried for a possible backup route.


                               DUAL FSM Completion Exercise A Finite State Machine (FSM) is an abstract machine, not a mechanical device with moving parts. FSMs define a set of possible states that something can go through, what events cause those states, and what events result from those states. Designers use FSMs to describe how a device, computer program, or routing algorithm will react to a set of input events. Figure 9-7 is a simplified flow chart of DUAL’s FSM. Fill in the flow chart with the states EIGRP moves through when it loses connectivity with a successor. The flow chart should serve as a visual study aid to help you  how DUAL converges on new routes.

                               More EIGRP Configurations The following sections review the commands used for EIGRP route summarization, default route propagation, and fine tuning.


                               Manual Summarization Exercise EIGRP can be configured to summarize routes. Record the command syntax to manually configure an EIGRP route summary. Router(config-if)# ip summary-address eigrp as-number network-address subnet-mask


                               In the chapter topology shown earlier in Figure 9-6, HQ and the Branch routers can manually summarize the LANs that are directly connected to each router. Because HQ has three EIGRP neighbors, the EIGRP manual summarization is configured on each of the serial interfaces shared with Branch routers. Record the commands necessary to configure HQ to  its LANs in one route. HQ(config)# interface s0/0/1 HQ(config-if)# ip summary-address eigrp 1 10.10.0.0 255.255.248.0 HQ(config-if)# interface s0/1/0

                               HQ(config-if)# ip summary-address eigrp 1 10.10.0.0 255.255.248.0 HQ(config-if)# interface s0/1/1 HQ(config-if)# ip summary-address eigrp 1 10.10.0.0 255.255.248.0


                               Record the commands necessary to configure B1 to  its LANs in one route. B1(config)# interface s0/0/0 B1(config-if)# ip summary-address eigrp 1 10.10.8.0 255.255.252.0


                               Record the commands necessary to configure B2 to  its LANs in one route. B2(config)# interface s0/0/0 B2(config-if)# ip summary-address eigrp 1 10.10.12.0 255.255.254.0


                               Record the commands necessary to configure B3 to  its LANs in one route. B3(config)# interface s0/0/0 B3(config-if)# ip summary-address eigrp 1 10.10.14.0 255.255.255.0


                               EIGRP Default Route Exercise Using a static route to 0.0.0.0/0 as a default route is not routing protocol dependent. The “quad zero” static default route can be used with any currently ed routing protocols. The static default route is usually configured on the router that has a connection to a network outside the EIGRP routing domain, for example, to an Internet service provider (ISP). Record the command to configure HQ with a default route. Use the exit interface argument. HQ(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial0/0/0


                               EIGRP requires the use of the redistribute static command to include this static default route with its EIGRP routing updates. Unfortunately, Packet Tracer v4.1 does not  this command. So, you will need to configure default routes on B1, B2, and B3 using the exit interface argument. Record the commands you will use to configure these default routes on the Branch routers. B1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial0/0/0 B2(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial0/0/0 B3(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial0/0/0


                               Fine-Tuning EIGRP Exercise The last two topics of this chapter review two fundamental ways to fine-tune EIGRP operations. First, we will discuss EIGRP bandwidth utilization. Next, we will discuss how to change the default Hello and hold time values. EIGRP Bandwidth Utilization By default, EIGRP will use only up to 50 percent of the bandwidth of an interface for EIGRP information. This prevents the EIGRP process from overutilizing a link and not allowing enough bandwidth for the routing of normal traffic. The ip bandwidth-percent eigrp command can be used to configure the percentage of bandwidth that can be used by EIGRP on an interface. Record the full syntax for this command. Router(config-if)# ip bandwidth-percent eigrp as-number percent


                               Chapter 9: EIGRP


                               415


                               This command uses the amount of configured bandwidth (or the default bandwidth) when calculating the percent that EIGRP can use. Configuring Hello Intervals and Hold Times Hello intervals and hold times are configurable on a per-interface basis and do not have to match with other EIGRP routers to establish adjacencies. Record the command to configure a different Hello interval. Router(config-if)# ip hello-interval eigrp as-number seconds


                               If you change the Hello interval, make sure that you also change the hold time to a value equal to or greater than the Hello interval. Otherwise, neighbor adjacency will go down after the hold time expires and before the next Hello interval. Record the command to configure a different hold time. Router(config-if)# ip hold-time eigrp as-number seconds


                               Packet Tracer Activity

                               Scenario In this lab activity, you will learn how to configure the routing protocol EIGRP using the network shown in the topology diagram in Figure 9-8. As you can see in Table 9-4, a loopback address will be used on the R2 router to simulate a connection to an ISP, where all traffic that is not destined for the local network will be sent. Some segments of the network have been subnetted using VLSM. EIGRP is a classless routing protocol that can be used to provide subnet mask information in the routing updates. This will allow VLSM subnet information to be propagated throughout the network. Figure 9-8

                               Task 1: Prepare the Network Step 1.


                               Cable a network that is similar to the one in the topology diagram of Figure 9-8. You can use any current router in your lab as long as it has the required interfaces shown in the topology.


                               Step 2.


                               Clear any existing configurations on the routers.


                               Task 2: Perform Basic Router Configurations Perform basic configuration of the R1, R2, and R3 routers according to the following guidelines: ■


                               Configure the router host name.


                               ■


                               Disable Domain Name System (DNS) lookup.


                               ■


                               Configure an EXEC mode .


                               ■


                               Configure a message-of-the-day banner.


                               ■


                               Configure a  for console connections.


                               ■


                               Configure a  for VTY connections.


                               Task 3: Configure and Activate Serial and Ethernet Addresses Step 1.


                               Configure the interfaces on the R1, R2, and R3 routers. Configure the interfaces with the IP addresses from Table 9-4.


                               Step 2.


                                IP addressing and interfaces. Use the show ip interface brief command to  that the IP addressing is correct and that the interfaces are active. When you have finished, be sure to save the running configuration to the NVRAM of the router.

                               Configure the Ethernet interfaces of PC1, PC2, and PC3.


                               Step 3.


                               Configure these interfaces with the IP addresses and default gateways from Table 9-4.


                               Task 4: Configure EIGRP on the R1 Router Enable EIGRP.


                               Step 1.


                               Use the router eigrp command in global configuration mode to enable EIGRP on the R1 router. Enter a process ID of 1 for the autonomous-system parameter: R1(config)# router eigrp 1 R1(config-router)#


                               Configure the classful network 172.16.0.0.


                               Step 2.


                               When you are in the Router EIGRP configuration submode, configure the classful network 172.16.0.0 to be included in the EIGRP updates that are sent out of R1: R1(config-router)# network 172.16.0.0 R1(config-router)#


                               The router will begin to send EIGRP update messages out each interface belonging to the 172.16.0.0 network. EIGRP updates will be sent out of the FastEthernet 0/0 and Serial 0/0/0 interfaces because they are both on subnets of the 172.16.0.0 network. Configure the router to  the 192.168.10.4/30 network attached to the Serial 0/0/1 interface.


                               Step 3.


                               Use the wildcard-mask option with the network command to  only the subnet and not the entire 192.168.10.0 classful network: R1(config-router)# network 192.168.10.4 0.0.0.3 R1(config-router)#


                               Note: Think of a wildcard mask as the inverse of a subnet mask. The inverse of the subnet mask 255.255.255.252 is 0.0.0.3. To calculate the inverse of the subnet mask, subtract the subnet mask from 255.255.255.255: 255.255.255.255 –


                               255.255.255.252


                               Subtract the subnet mask


                               ------------------0.


                               0.


                               0.


                               3


                               Wildcard mask


                               When you are finished with the EIGRP configuration for R1, return to privileged EXEC mode and save the current configuration to NVRAM: R1(config-router)# end %SYS-5-CONFIGI: Configured from console by console R1#

                               Task 5: Configure EIGRP on the R2 and R3 Routers Step 1.


                               Enable EIGRP routing on the R2 router using the router eigrp command. Use a process ID of 1. R2(config)# router eigrp 1 R2(config-router)#


                               Step 2.


                               Use the classful address 172.16.0.0 to include the network for the FastEthernet 0/0 interface. R2(config-router)# network 172.16.0.0 R2(config-router)# %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP 1: Neighbor 172.16.3.1 (Serial0/0/0) is up: new adjacency


                               Notice that DUAL sends a notification message to the console stating that a neighbor relationship with another EIGRP router has been established. What is the IP address of the EIGRP neighbor router? 172.16.3.1 What interface on the R2 router is the neighbor adjacent to? Serial0/0/0 Step 3.


                               Configure the R2 router to  the 192.168.10.8/30 network attached to the Serial 0/0/1 interface. 1.


                               Use the wildcard-mask option with the network command to  only the subnet and not the entire 192.168.10.0 classful network.


                               2.


                               When you are finished, return to privileged EXEC mode: R2(config-router)# network 192.168.10.8 0.0.0.3 R2(config-router)# end

                               Step 4.


                               Configure EIGRP on the R3 router using the router eigrp and network commands: 1.


                               Use a process ID of 1.


                               2.


                               Use the classful network address for the network attached to the FastEthernet 0/0 interface.


                               3.


                               Include the wildcard masks for the subnets attached to the Serial 0/0/0 and Serial 0/0/1 interfaces.


                               4.


                               When you are finished, return to privileged EXEC mode.

                               Modify the bandwidth of the serial interfaces. On most serial links, the bandwidth metric will default to 1544 Kbits. If this is not the actual bandwidth of the serial link, the bandwidth will need to be changed so that the EIGRP metric can be calculated correctly. For this lab, the link between R1 and R2 will be configured with a bandwidth of 64 kbps, and the link between R2 and R3 will be configured with a bandwidth of 1024 kbps. Use the bandwidth command to modify the bandwidth of the serial interfaces of each router: R1(config)# interface serial0/0/0 R1(config-if)# bandwidth 64 R2(config)# interface serial0/0/0 R2(config-if)# bandwidth 64 R2(config)# interface serial0/0/1 R2(config-if)# bandwidth 1024 R3(config)# interface serial0/0/1 R3(config-if)# bandwidth 1024

                               Task 12: Disable EIGRP Automatic Summarization Step 1.


                               Examine the routing table of the R3 router. Notice that R3 is not receiving individual routes for the 172.16.1.0/24, 172.16.2.0/24, and 172.16.3.0/24 subnets. Instead, the routing table only has a summary route to the classful network address of 172.16.0.0/16 through the R1 router. This will cause packets that are destined for the 172.16.2.0/24 network to be sent through the R1 router instead of being sent straight to the R2 router: R3# show ip route  D


                               172.16.0.0/16 [90/2172416] via 192.168.10.5, 01:21:54, Serial0/0/0

                               Why is the R1 router (192.168.10.5) the only successor for the route to the 172.16.0.0/16 network? The R1 router has a better metric (feasible distance) to 172.16.0.0/16. The feasible distance for the path to the R1 router is better because the bandwidth for this path is higher than the path through the R2 router. Step 2.


                               Examine the EIGRP topology table on R3. Notice that the reported distance from R2 is higher than the feasible distance from R1: R3# show ip eigrp topology IP-EIGRP Topology Table for AS 1 Codes: P - ive, A - Active, U - Update, Q - Query, R - Reply, r - Reply status

                               Task 1: Cable the Topology and Basic Configurations Step 1.


                               Cable the topology as shown in Figure 9-9. If data communications equipment/data terminal equipment (DCE/DTE) connections and interfaces are different than shown in Figure 9-9 and the table, relabel the figure to match your connections.


                               Step 2.


                               Configure the routers as follows.


                               Step 3.


                               ■


                               Configure the router host name.

                               Instructor note: This basic configuration can be used on all three routers with changes to the host name and the host table. At this level in their studies, your students should be able to do this with little or no help from you.


                               Task 2: Configure Interfaces and EIGRP Routing Step 1.


                               Use Table 9-5 and the topology shown in Figure 9-9 to configure each router with the correct interface addresses. The interface configuration for RTA is as follows. RTA(config)# interface FastEthernet0/0 RTA(config-if)# description Link to RTA LAN RTA(config-if)# ip address 172.16.0.1 255.255.192.0 RTA(config-if)# no shutdown RTA(config-if)# interface Serial0/0/0 RTA(config-if)# description Link to RTC RTA(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.10 255.255.255.252 RTA(config-if)# clockrate 64000 RTA(config-if)# no shutdown RTA(config-if)# interface Serial0/0/1 RTA(config-if)# description Link to RTB RTA(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.252 RTA(config-if)# clockrate 64000 RTA(config-if)# no shutdown

                               Step 2.


                               Configure each router with EIGRP routing. The configuration for RTA follows. All routers have the same basic EIGRP configuration. RTA(config)# router eigrp 100 RTA(config-router)# network 10.0.0.0 RTA(config-router)# network 172.16.0.0


                               Task 3: Configure Bandwidth and Automatic Summarization Step 1.


                               According to the topology shown in Figure 9-9, RTB and RTC are connected with a 128kbps link. Enter the commands on both routers necessary to adjust the default bandwidth to match the actual speed. RTB(config)# interface Serial0/0/0 RTB(config-if)# bandwidth 128 RTC(config)# interface Serial0/0/1 RTC(config-if)# bandwidth 128

                               Step 3.


                               D


                               10.0.0.0/8 is a summary, 00:23:20, Null0


                               C


                               10.0.0.0/30 is directly connected, Serial0/0/1


                               Notice that RTA does not have routes to the simulated LANs on RTB and RTC. Enter the command to disable automatic summarization on all three routers. Each router should have the no auto-summary command configured within the EIGRP routing process.


                               Task 4: Configure Manual Summarization Step 1.


                               Display the routing table on RTA. RTA# show ip route (output omitted) Gateway of last resort is not set 172.16.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 9 subnets, 3 masks D

                               Scenario In this lab activity, you will be given a network address that must be subnetted using VLSM to complete the addressing of the network shown in the topology diagram in Figure 9-10. A combination of EIGRP routing and static routing will be required so that hosts on networks that are not directly connected will be able to communicate with each other. EIGRP must be configured so that all IP traffic takes the shortest path to the destination address.

                               Task 2: Cable the Topology and Basic Configuration Step 1.


                               Choose three routers and cable them according to the topology in Figure 9-11. You will not need any LAN interfaces or switches for this lab.


                               Step 2.


                               Configure the routers’ basic configurations including interface addresses.


                               Task 3: Configure EIGRP Routing and Default Routing Step 1.


                               Configure both HQ and REMOTE to use EIGRP as the routing protocol. Use 100 as the AS number. Enter the simulated LAN subnets and the WAN link between HQ and REMOTE. Do not  the 209.165.201.0/30 network. Make sure that you disable automatic summarization.


                               Step 2.


                               Configure ISP with a static route pointing to the 10.0.0.0/17 address space.


                               Step 3.


                               Configure HQ with a default route pointing to ISP.


                               Step 4.


                               Configure HQ to  the default route to REMOTE with the redistribute static command within the EIGRP routing process. HQ(config-router)# redistribute static


                               Step 5.


                                HQ and REMOTE routing tables. ■


                               HQ should have six directly connected routes, four EIGRP routes, and one static route.


                               ■


                               REMOTE should have five directly connected routes, four EIGRP routes, and one EIGRP external route.


                               ■


                                that REMOTE can ping the Simulated Web Server at 209.165.202.129.

                               Task 4: Manual Summarization Step 1.


                               Because the simulated LANs on both HQ and REMOTE were assigned contiguously, you can summarize the routing updates to reduce the size of the routing tables. What commands will summarize the simulated LANs on HQ? HQ(config)# interface serial 0/0/1 HQ(config-if)# ip summary-address eigrp 100 10.0.64.0 255.255.192.0


                               Step 2.


                               What commands will summarize the simulated LANs on REMOTE? REMOTE(config)# interface serial 0/0/1 REMOTE(config-if)# ip summary-address eigrp 100 10.0.32.0 255.255.224.0

                               Capture the running configurations on all three routers to separate text files. Use the host name of the router to name each text file.


                               Step 3.


                               Clean up the .txt, HQ.txt, REMOTE.txt, and ISP.txt files. Add appropriate notes to assist in your studies.

                               Scenario In this lab, you will begin by loading configuration scripts on each of the routers. These scripts contain errors that will prevent end-to-end communication across the network. You will need to troubleshoot each router to determine the configuration errors, and then use the appropriate commands to correct the configurations. When you have corrected all the configuration errors, all the hosts on the network should be able to communicate with each other. The network should also have met the following requirements: ■

                               Packet Tracer Skills Integration Challenge: EIGRP Configuration


                               You can now open the file LSG02-Lab963.pka on the CD-ROM that accompanies this book to repeat this hands-on lab using Packet Tracer. , however, that Packet Tracer is not a substitute for a hands-on lab experience with real equipment.


                               Upon completion of this challenge, you should be able to do the following: ■


                               Design and document an addressing scheme based on requirements


                               ■


                               Apply a basic configuration to the devices


                               ■


                               Test connectivity between directly connected devices


                               ■


                               Configure and  EIGRP routing


                               ■


                               Configure EIGRP summary routes


                               ■


                               Fine-tune EIGRP


                               ■


                               Configure static and default routing for Internet access


                               ■


                                full connectivity between all devices in the topology


                               Open the file LSG02-PTSkills9.pka on the CD-ROM that accompanies this book. You will use the topology in Figure 9-13 and the addressing table in Table 9-9 to document your design.

                               Task 1: Design and Document an Addressing Scheme Step 1.


                               Design an addressing scheme. Based on the network requirements shown in the topology in Figure 9-13, design an appropriate addressing scheme.


                               Step 2.


                               ■


                               For the LANs, use the address space 10.1.32.0/22. Starting with the largest subnets’ requirements on B1, assign subnets in order throughout the topology.


                               ■


                               For the WANs, use the address space 172.20.0.0/27. Assign WAN subnets according to the following specifications: ■


                               Subnet 0 to the WAN link between HQ and B1


                               ■


                               Subnet 1 to the WAN link between HQ and B2


                               ■


                               Subnet 2 to the WAN link between HQ and B3


                               ■


                               Subnet 3 to the WAN link between B1 and B2


                               ■


                               Subnet 4 to the WAN link between B2 and B3


                               Document the addressing scheme. ■


                               Use the blank spaces on the topology to record the network addresses in dotted decimal/slash format.


                               ■


                               Use Table 9-9 to document the IP addresses, subnet masks, and default gateway addresses: ■


                               For LANs, assign the first address to the router interface. Assign the last address to the PC.


                               ■


                               For WAN links to HQ, assign the first address to the HQ router.


                               ■


                               For WAN links between branch routers: Assign the first address to B1 for the link between B1 and B2. Assign the first address to B2 for the link between B2 and B3.


                               Task 2: Apply a Basic Configuration Step 1.


                               Configure the routers. Using your documentation, configure the routers with basic configurations.


                               Step 2.


                               Configure the PCs. Using your documentation, configure the PCs with an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.


                               Task 3: Test Connectivity Before continuing, make sure that each device can ping its directly connected neighbor.

                               Task 4: Configure and  EIGRP Routing Step 1.


                               Configure EIGRP. Configure all devices with EIGRP routing using 1 as the process ID. In your configuration, make sure that you include the following:


                               Step 2.


                               ■


                               Disable automatic summarization.


                               ■


                               Stop routing updates on interfaces that are not connected to EIGRP neighbors.


                               ■


                               All LANs should be summarized into one ment to neighbors. For example, HQ should summarize its two LANs when advertising to B1, B2, and B3.


                                EIGRP. Use verification commands to check your configuration. All routers should be converged on all the 10.1.32.0/22 and 172.20.0.0/27 subnets.


                               Task 5: Fine-Tune EIGRP Step 1.


                               Adjust bandwidth values used to calculate metrics. The links between the branch routers (B1 to B2 and B2 to B3) are for backup purposes only. Configure the bandwidth values to match the actual bandwidth so that EIGRP does not equal-cost load across the T1 links to HQ and the backup links to the neighboring branch router.


                               Step 2.


                               Adjust Hello intervals for the slower links. Change the Hello intervals for the 64-kbps links to 60 seconds.


                               Task 6: Configure Static and Default Routing Because Packet Tracer does not  redistribution of default routes, all routers except ISP will need a default route.


                               Task 7: Test Connectivity and Examine the Configuration Test connectivity and examine the configuration.

                               The Study Guide portion of this chapter uses a combination of matching, fill-in-the-blank, multiple-choice, and open-ended question exercises to test your knowledge of link-state routing protocols. There are no hands-on labs in this chapter. However, the Labs and Activities portion does include a Packet Tracer Skills Integration Challenge Activity. As you work through this chapter, use Chapter 10 in Routing Protocols and Concepts, CCNA Exploration Companion Guide or use the corresponding Chapter 10 in the Exploration Routing Protocols and Concepts online curriculum for assistance.

                               Study Guide Link-State Routing Distance vector routing protocols are like road signs because routers must make preferred path decisions based on a distance or metric to a network. Just as travelers trust a road sign to accurately state the distance to the next town, a distance vector router trusts that another router is advertising the true distance to the destination network. Link-state routing protocols take a different approach. Link-state routing protocols are more like a road map because they create a topological map of the network, and each router uses this map to determine the shortest path to each network. Just as you refer to a map to find the route to another town, link-state routers use a map to determine the preferred path to reach another destination.


                               Link-State Routing Concepts Exercise Link-State Routing Protocols Link-state routing protocols are also known as shortest path first protocols and are built around Edsger Dijkstra’s SPF algorithm. The IP link-state routing protocols include ■

                               Introduction to the SPF Algorithm The SPF algorithm accumulates costs along each path, from source to destination. Each router calculates the SPF algorithm and determines the cost from its own perspective. Using Figure 10-1, complete Table 10-1 through 10-5, filling in the appropriate information for each router. As an example, Table 10-1 for R1 is partially complete.

                               Link-State Routing Process All routers in our topology will complete the following generic link-state routing process to reach a state of convergence: 1.


                               Each router learns about its own links, its own directly connected networks. This is done by detecting that an interface is in the up state.


                               2.


                               Each router is responsible for meeting its neighbors on directly connected networks. Similar to Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), link-state routers do this by exchanging Hello packets with other link-state routers on directly connected networks.


                               3.


                               Each router builds a link-state packet (LSP) containing the state of each directly connected link. This is done by recording all the pertinent information about each neighbor, including neighbor ID, link type, and bandwidth.


                               4.


                               Each router floods the LSP to all neighbors, who then store all LSPs received in a database. Neighbors then flood the LSPs to their neighbors until all routers in the area have received the LSPs. Each router stores a copy of each LSP received from its neighbors in a local database.


                               5.


                               Each router uses the database to construct a complete map of the topology and computes the best path to each destination network.

                               The first step in the link-state routing process is each router learns about its own links, its own directly connected networks. This occurs when you correctly configure and activate the interfaces. In Table 10-6, list the link-state information for R5, including the network address, type of interface, address, cost and neighbor. Table 10-6

                               Sending Hello Packets to Neighbors The second step in the link-state routing process is each router is responsible for meeting its neighbors on directly connected networks. Routers with link-state routing protocols use a Hello protocol to discover any neighbors on its links. In relation to link state routing, what is a neighbor? A neighbor is any other router that is enabled with the same link-state routing protocol.

                               Small Hello packets are periodically exchanged between two adjacent neighbors, which serve as a “keepalive” function to monitor the state of the neighbor. If a router stops receiving Hello packets from a neighbor, that neighbor is considered unreachable and the adjacency is broken. Building the Link-State Packet The third step in the link-state routing process is each router builds a link-state packet (LSP) containing the state of each directly connected link. After a router has established its adjacencies, it can build its link-state packets (LSP) that contain the link-state information about its links. The table you filled out previously contains all the information for R5’s LSP. Flooding Link-State Packets to Neighbors The fourth step in the link-state routing process is each router floods the LSP to all neighbors, who then store all LSPs received in a database. What happens when a router receives an LSP from a neighbor? Whenever a router receives an LSP from a neighboring router, it immediately sends that LSP out all other interfaces except the interface that received the LSP. This process creates a flooding effect of LSPs from all routers throughout the routing area. With triggered updates, distance vector routing protocols also send out updates when there is a change. What is one reason why link-state routing protocols converge faster? Unlike distance vector routing protocols, which must first run the Bellman-Ford algorithm to process routing updates before sending them to other routers, link-state routing protocols calculate the SPF algorithm after the flooding is complete. As a result, link-state routing protocols reach convergence much faster than distance vector routing protocols. Constructing a Link-State Database The final step in the link-state routing process is each router uses the database to construct a complete map of the topology and computes the best path to each destination network. After each router has propagated its own LSPs using the link-state flooding process, each router will then have an LSP from every link-state router in the routing area. These LSPs are stored in the linkstate database. Each router in the routing area can now use the SPF algorithm to construct the SPF trees that you saw earlier. Figure 10-3 shows the entire topology, with network addresses.

                               Implementing Link-State Routing Protocols The following sections include exercises covering the advantages and requirements of link-state routing protocols.

                               485


                               Advantages of a Link-State Routing Protocol Exercise Explain briefly why each of the following is an advantage of link-state routing protocols over distance vector routing protocols. Instructor note: The following answers are direct quotes from the text. The student should be encouraged to answer these question in his or her own words.


                               Builds a Topological Map Link-state routing protocols create a topological map, or SPF tree, of the network topology. Distance vector routing protocols do not have a topological map of the network. Routers implementing a distance vector routing protocol only have a list of networks, which includes the cost (distance) and nexthop routers (direction) to those networks. Because link-state routing protocols exchange link states, the SPF algorithm can build an SPF tree of the network. Using the SPF tree, each router can independently determine the shortest path to every network. Fast Convergence There are several reasons why a link-state routing protocol converges faster than a distance vector routing protocol. When receiving a link-state packet (LSP), link-state routing protocols immediately flood the LSP out all interfaces except for the interface from which the LSP was received. A router using a distance vector routing protocol needs to process each routing update and update its routing table before flooding them out other interfaces, even with triggered updates. Another reason is the lack of a hold-down timer, which is a distance vector routing protocol feature designed to give the network time to converge. Link-state routing protocols do not use a hold-down timer because any changes in the topology are flooded immediately within the entire routing domain using LSPs. Event-Driven Updates After the initial flooding of LSPs, link-state routing protocols only send out an LSP when there is a change in the topology. The LSP contains only the information regarding the affected link. Unlike some distance vector routing protocols, link-state routing protocols do not send periodic updates. Hierarchical Design Link-state routing protocols such as OSPF and IS-IS use the concept of areas. Multiple areas create a hierarchical design to networks, allowing better route aggregation (summarization) and the isolation of routing issues within an area. Multiarea OSPF and IS-IS are discussed further in CCNP.


                               Requirements of a Link-State Routing Protocol Exercise Explain briefly why each of the following requirements is important when a network  is considering implementing a link-state routing protocol. Instructor note: The following answers are direct quotes from the text. The student should be encouraged to answer these questions in his or her own words.


                               Memory Requirements Link-state routing protocols typically require more memory, more U processing, and at times more bandwidth than distance vector routing protocols. The memory requirements are because of the use of link-state databases and the creation of the SPF tree.

                               Processing Requirements Link-state protocols can also require more U processing than distance vector routing protocols. The SPF algorithm requires more U time than distance vector algorithms such as Bellman-Ford because link-state protocols build a complete map of the topology. Bandwidth Requirements The flooding of link-state packets can adversely affect the available bandwidth on a network. This should only occur during initial startup of routers, but can also be an issue on unstable networks.

                               Task 1: Design and Document an Addressing Scheme Step 1.


                               Design an addressing scheme. Using the topology in Figure 10-4 and the following requirements, design an addressing scheme: ■


                               The WAN links between R1 and R2 and their respective ISP routers are already configured. Also, the links between the ISPs and the web servers are already configured.


                               ■


                               The address space for Region 1 is 10.1.0.0/16. Each branch router (B1-R1, B2-R1, and B3-R1) should be allotted address space based on the following requirements. Starting with the largest requirement, assign address space to each router:


                               ■


                               ■


                               B1-R1 needs space for 8000 hosts 10.1.0.0/19


                               ■


                               B2-R1 needs space for 4000 hosts 10.1.32.0/20


                               ■


                               B3-R1 needs space for 2000 hosts 10.1.48.0/21


                               Divide the address space for each branch router into four equal subnets. Record the subnets in the tables that follow.

                               Study Guide Introduction to OSPF Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link-state routing protocol that was developed as a replacement for the distance vector Routing Information Protocol (RIP). RIP was an acceptable routing protocol in the early days of networking and the Internet, but its reliance on hop count as the only measure for choosing the best route quickly became unacceptable in larger networks that needed a more robust routing solution. OSPF is a classless routing protocol that uses the concept of areas for scalability. RFC 2328 defines the OSPF metric as an arbitrary value called cost. Cisco IOS Software uses bandwidth as the OSPF cost metric. In the following sections of the Study Guide, you will review basic OSPF concepts and protocols.

                               OSPF Concepts Exercise Background of OSPF The initial development of OSPF began in 1987 by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) OSPF Working Group. At that time, the Internet was largely an academic and research network funded by the U.S. government. In 1998, the OSPFv2 specification was updated to the current version reflected in RFC 2328. Because OSPF is an open standard, you can easily find the RFC online. List one website where the OSPF RFC can be found: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2328 OSPF Message Encapsulation The data portion of an OSPF message is encapsulated in a packet. This data field can include one of five OSPF packet types. Each packet type is briefly discussed in the next topic. Figure 11-1 shows an example of an encapsulated OSPF message. Fill in the missing field contents. Figure 11-1

                               Receiving a Hello packet on an interface confirms for a router that there is another OSPF router on this link. OSPF then establishes adjacency with the neighbor. Before two routers can form an OSPF neighbor adjacency, they must agree on three values: Hello interval, Dead interval, and network type. The OSPF Hello interval indicates how often an OSPF router transmits its Hello packets. By default, OSPF Hello packets are sent every 10 seconds on multiaccess and point-to-point segments and every 30 seconds on nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA) segments (Frame Relay, X.25, ATM). In most cases, OSPF Hello packets are sent as multicast to an address reserved for ALLSPFRouters at 224.0.0.5. The Dead interval is the period, expressed in seconds, that the router will wait to receive a Hello packet before declaring the neighbor “down.” Cisco uses a default of four times the Hello interval. For multiaccess and point-to-point segments, this period is 40 seconds. For NBMA networks, the Dead interval is 120 seconds. If the Dead interval expires before the routers receive a Hello packet, OSPF will remove that neighbor from its link-state database. To reduce the amount of OSPF traffic on multiaccess networks, OSPF elects a designated router (DR) and backup designated router (BDR). The DR is responsible for updating all other OSPF routers (called DRothers) when a change occurs in the multiaccess network. The BDR monitors the DR and takes over as the DR if the current DR fails. OSPF Link-State Updates Link-state updates (LSU) are the packets used for OSPF routing updates. An LSU packet can contain 11 different types of link-state ments (LSA).

                               OSPF Algorithm Each OSPF router maintains a link-state database containing the LSAs received from all other routers. After a router has received all LSAs and built its local link-state database, OSPF uses Dijkstra’s shortest path first (SPF) algorithm to create an SPF tree. The SPF tree is then used to populate the IP routing table with the best paths to each network. istrative Distance With this chapter, you have learned all the istrative distances for the routing protocols covered on the CCNA exam.

                               Basic OSPF Configuration Now that you have a good understanding of how OSPF works, it is time to learn the configuration commands you use for OSPF. The first exercise in the following sections will take you step by step through an OSPF configuration. The second exercise reviews verification commands.


                               Learn the OSPF Commands Exercise 1.


                               Document the command syntax, including the router prompt, to configure the OSPF routing process. Router(config)# router ospf process-id


                               2.


                               The value for process-id can be any number between 1 and 65,535.


                               3.


                               True or False: All routers in an area must have the same process-id.


                               False. The process-id is only significant to the local router and has no meaning to other OSPF neighbors. OSPF neighbors are unaware of what process ID the local router is using. However, it is considered a best practice to maintain a consistent process ID throughout the routing domain.

                               Document the command syntax, including the router prompt, for adding network statements to the OSPF routing process. Router(config-router)# network address wildcard-mask area area-id


                               5.


                               For single-area OSPF configurations, the area-id parameter is normally set to 0.


                               6.


                               The wildcard-mask argument is simply the inverse of the subnet mask. List the corresponding wildcard mask for each of the following subnet masks: 255.255.255.0: 0.0.0.255 255.255.255.128: 0.0.0.127 255.255.255.192: 0.0.0.63 255.255.255.240: 0.0.0.15 255.255.0.0: 0.0.255.255 255.255.252.0: 0.0.3.255 255.255.240.0: 0.0.15.255 255.0.0.0: 0.255.255.255 255.224.0.0: 0.31.255.255 255.248.0.0: 0.7.255.255

                               OSPF routers that share a common link become neighbors on that link. In Figure 11-4, RTB and RTC are neighbors of RTA, but not of each other. These routers send each other OSPF Hello packets to establish adjacency. These packets also act as keepalives so that each router knows that adjacent routers are still functional.

                                OSPF Configuration Exercise Fill in the missing commands to complete the following sentences. The show ip ospf neighbor command can be used to  and troubleshoot OSPF neighbor relationships. The show ip protocols command is a quick way to  vital OSPF configuration information, including the OSPF process ID, router ID, networks the router is advertising, neighbors the router is receiving updates from, and default istrative distance, which is 110 for OSPF. The show ip ospf command can also be used to examine the OSPF process ID and router ID. Additionally, this command displays the OSPF area information as well as the last time the SPF algorithm was calculated. The quickest way to  Hello and Dead intervals is to use the show ip ospf interface command. The quickest way to  OSPF convergence is to use the show ip route command to view the routing table for each router in the topology.

                               OSPF Metric The OSPF metric is called cost. From RFC 2328: A cost is associated with the output side of each router interface. This cost is configurable by the system . The lower the cost, the more likely the interface is to be used to forward data traffic. Notice that RFC 2328 does not specify which values should be used to determine the cost. The exercises in the following sections cover cost calculation and the two methods for configuring OSPF cost on a Cisco router.


                               Calculating the Cost Metric Exercise In Figure 11-5, note the differences in bandwidth. If OSPF uses the default bandwidth on the serial interfaces to calculate the cost, RTB will send traffic destined for the LAN on RTC directly to RTC, and RTC will send traffic destined for the LAN on RTB directly to RTB. However, the path through RTA is faster. Figure 11-5

                               Modifying the Cost Metric Exercise Assume that RTB and RTC are both Cisco 2800 series routers. The default bandwidth on serial interfaces for 2800 routers is 1544 kbps (T1). What command would you enter to  the default or configured bandwidth on an interface? show interface Referring to Figure 11-5, document the commands needed to configure the bandwidth correctly so that OSPF uses an accurate cost metric. RTB(config)# interface serial 0/0/0 RTB(config-if)# bandwidth 386 RTC(config)# interface serial 0/0/1 RTC(config-if)# bandwidth 386


                               Instead of configuring the bandwidth, you could configure the cost directly. Document the commands for RTB and RTC that would configure the actual OSPF cost? RTB(config)# interface serial 0/0/0 RTB(config-if)# ip ospf cost 259 RTC(config)# interface serial 0/0/1 RTC(config-if)# ip ospf cost 259


                               OSPF and Multiaccess Networks A multiaccess network is a network with more than two devices on the same shared media. Examples of multiaccess networks include Ethernet, Token Ring, and Frame Relay. Token Ring is LAN technology that is for the most part obsolete. Frame Relay is a WAN technology that is discussed in a later CCNA course. The following exercises cover the concepts of multiaccess networks in OSPF and the DR/BDR election process.


                               OSPF and Multiaccess Networks Completion Exercise Complete the missing words or phrases in the following paragraphs. On multiaccess networks (networks ing more than two routers), such as Ethernet and Frame Relay networks, the Hello protocol elects a designated router (DR) and a backup designated router (BDR). Among other things, the designated router is responsible for generating LSAs for the entire multiaccess network, which allows a reduction in routing update traffic. The DR, BDR, and every other router in an OSPF network sends out Hellos using 224.0.0.5 as the destination address. If a DRother (a router that is not the DR) needs to send an LSA, it will send it using 224.0.0.6 as the destination address. The DR and the BDR will receive LSAs at this address. The DR/BDR election is based on OSPF priority and OSPF router ID. By default, all OSPF routers have a priority of 1. If all OSPF routers have the same priority, the highest router ID determines the DR and BDR. Unless a loopback interface is configured, the highest IP address on an active interface at the moment of OSPF process startup is used as the router ID. In Figure 11-6, label each router with its router ID. Assume that all routers came up simultaneously and that all interfaces are active.

                               In Figure 11-6, which router would be the DR? RTC BDR? RTB You can override the router ID that OSPF chooses by configuring an IP address on a loopback interface. This will provide stability to your OSPF network because loopback interfaces do not become inactive. Assume that network policy has determined that RTA is best suited to be the DR. In addition, the policy states that all OSPF routers will be configured with a loopback interface to provide stability to OSPF: ■


                               Loopback for RTA is 10.0.0.3/32


                               ■


                               Loopback for RTB is 10.0.0.2/32


                               ■


                               Loopback for RTC is 10.0.0.1/32


                               Document the correct commands, including the router prompt, to configure loopback interfaces on each router. RTA(config)# interface loopback 0 RTA(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.3 255.255.255.255 RTB(config)# interface loopback 0 RTB(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.255 RTC(config)# interface loopback 0 RTC(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.255


                               With loopback interfaces now configured on each router, what must you do to change which router is the DR? The routers must either be reloaded or the OSPF process has to be removed with the no router ospf process-id command and then completely reconfigured before routers will use the loopback addresses as the router ID. However, the first router reconfigured will become the DR regardless of the value of the router ID unless you reload the routers. So, the best way to ensure which router is the DR is by configuring priority.

                               Routing Protocols and Concepts, CCNA Exploration Labs and Study Guide


                               In addition to configuring loopbacks, it would be a good idea to configure RTA with an OSPF priority that would ensure that it always wins the DR/BDR election. The syntax for configuring OSPF priority is as follows: Router(config-if)# ip ospf priority priority


                               Document the commands you would use to configure RTA to make sure that its priority will always win the DR/BDR election. RTA(config)# interface Fa 0/0 RTA(config-if)# ip ospf priority 2


                               !Any priority higher than the default of 1 will work.


                               DR/BDR Election Exercise In the following exercises, assume that all routers are simultaneously booted. Determine the network type, if applicable, and label which router is elected as the DR and which router is elected as the BDR. Hint: , if priority is equal, router ID determines the DR and BDR.

                               More OSPF Configuration The following exercises focus on additional OSPF configurations, including propagating a default route, modifying the reference bandwidth for metric calculations, and modifying the OSPF intervals.


                               Redistributing an OSPF Default Route Exercise In Figure 11-10, notice that RTA is now the gateway router because it provides access outside the area. In OSPF terminology, RTA is called the Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR), because it connects to an external routing domain that uses a different routing policy. Figure 11-10

                               Each routing protocol handles the propagation of default routing information a little differently. For OSPF, the gateway router must be configured with two commands. First, RTA will need a static default route pointing to ISP. Document the command to configure a static default route on RTA using the exit-interface argument. RTA(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial 0/1/0


                               Using the exit-interface argument, document the command necessary to configure ISP with a static route pointing to the 192.168.1.0/24 address space. ISP(config)# ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 serial 0/0/0

                               509


                               At this point, any host on the LAN attached to RTA will be able to access ISP and be able to ping the Public Web Server at 209.165.202.129. However, RTB and RTC still cannot ping outside the 192.168.1.0/24 address space. Why? Because neither router has a default route Document the command that needs to be configured on RTA to fix this problem. RTA(config-router)# default-information originate


                               Fine-Tuning OSPF Exercise Modifying the Reference Bandwidth Cisco OSPF cost uses accumulated bandwidth. The bandwidth value of each interface is calculated using 100,000,000/bandwidth. The 100,000,000, or 108, is known as the reference bandwidth. As you know from previous studies, we now have link speeds that are much faster than 100,000,000 (the speed of Fast Ethernet), including Gigabit Ethernet and 10GigE. Therefore, 100,000,000 results in interfaces with bandwidth values of 100 Mbps and higher having the same OSPF cost of 1. For RTA, RTB, and RTC, document the commands to change the reference bandwidth to 10,000. RTA(config-router)# auto-cost reference-bandwidth


                               10000


                               RTB(config-router)# auto-cost reference-bandwidth


                               10000


                               RTC(config-router)# auto-cost reference-bandwidth


                               10000


                               Make sure that you configure this command on all routers in the OSPF routing domain. Modifying OSPF Intervals OSPF routers must use matching Hello intervals and Dead intervals on the same link. The default interval values result in efficient OSPF operation and seldom need to be modified. However, you can change them. Again, refer to Figure 11-10. Assuming that the current intervals are 10 and 40, document the commands necessary to change these intervals on the link between RTB and RTC to a value four times greater than the current value. RTB(config)# interface serial 0/0/0 RTB(config-if)# ip ospf hello-interval 40 RTB(config-if)# ip ospf dead-interval 160 RTC(config)# interface serial 0/0/1 RTC(config-if)# ip ospf hello-interval 40 RTC(config-if)# ip ospf dead-interval 160


                               Note that it is not necessary to configure the Dead interval as long as the desired interval is four times the Hello. The IOS will automatically increase the Dead interval to four times the configured Hello interval.

                               Scenarios In this lab activity, there are two separate scenarios. In the first scenario, you will learn how to configure the routing protocol OSPF using the network shown in the topology diagram in Scenario A. The segments of the network have been subnetted using VLSM. OSPF is a classless routing protocol that can be used to provide subnet mask information in the routing updates. This will allow VLSM subnet information to be propagated throughout the network. In the second scenario, you will learn how to configure OSPF on a multiaccess network. You will also learn how to use the OSPF election process to determine the designated router (DR), backup designated router (BDR), and DRother states.


                               Scenario A: Basic OSPF Configuration Figure 11-11 shows the topology diagram for this scenario, and Table 11-2 provides the interface, IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway (where applicable) information for the routers and PCs shown in Figure 11-11.

                               Task 1: Prepare the Network Step 1.


                               Cable a network that is similar to the one shown in the topology diagram of Figure 11-11. You can use any current router in your lab as long as it has the required interfaces shown in the topology.


                               Note: If you use 1700, 2500, or 2600 routers, the router outputs and interface descriptions will appear different.

                               Step 2.


                               513


                               Clear any existing configurations on the routers.


                               Task 2: Perform Basic Router Configurations Perform basic configuration of the R1, R2, and R3 routers according to the following guidelines: ■


                               Configure the router host name.


                               ■


                               Disable Domain Name System (DNS) lookup.


                               ■


                               Configure a privileged EXEC mode .


                               ■


                               Configure a message-of-the-day banner.


                               ■


                               Configure a  for console connections.


                               ■


                               Configure a  for VTY connections.


                               Task 3: Configure and Activate Serial and Ethernet Addresses Step 1.


                               Configure interfaces on R1, R2, and R3. Configure these interfaces with the IP addresses from Table 11-2.


                               Step 2.


                                IP addressing and interfaces. Use the show ip interface brief command to  that the IP addressing is correct and that the interfaces are active. When you have finished, be sure to save the running configuration to the NVRAM of the router.


                               Step 3.


                               Configure Ethernet interfaces of PC1, PC2, and PC3. Configure these interfaces with the IP addresses and default gateways from Table 11-2.


                               Step 4.


                               Test the PC configuration by pinging the default gateway from the PC.


                               Task 4: Configure OSPF on the R1 Router Step 1.


                               Use the router ospf command in global configuration mode to enable OSPF on the R1 router. Enter a process ID of 1 for the process-ID parameter. R1(config)# router ospf 1 R1(config-router)#


                               Step 2.


                               Configure the network statement for the LAN network. When you are in the router OSPF configuration submode, configure the LAN network 172.16.1.16/28 to be included in the OSPF updates that are sent out of R1. The OSPF network command uses a combination of network-address and wildcard-mask similar to that which can be used by Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP). Unlike EIGRP, the wildcard mask in OSPF is required.


                               514

                               Use an area ID of 0 for the OSPF area-id parameter. 0 will be used for the OSPF area ID in all the network statements in this topology: R1(config-router)# network 172.16.1.16 0.0.0.15 area 0 R1(config-router)#


                               Step 3.


                               Configure the router to  the 192.168.10.0/30 network attached to the Serial 0/0/0 interface. R1(config-router)# network 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.3 area 0 R1(config-router)#


                               Step 4.


                               Configure the router to  the 192.168.10.4/30 network attached to the Serial 0/0/1 interface. R1(config-router)# network 192.168.10.4 0.0.0.3 area 0 R1(config-router)#


                               Step 5.


                               When you are finished with the OSPF configuration for R1, return to privileged EXEC mode. R1(config-router)# end %SYS-5-CONFIGI: Configured from console by console R1#


                               Task 5: Configure OSPF on the R2 and R3 Routers Step 1.


                               Enable OSPF routing on the R2 router using the router ospf command and a process ID of 1. R2(config)# router ospf 1 R2(config-router)#


                               Step 2.


                               Configure the router to  the LAN network 10.10.10.0/24 in the OSPF updates. R2(config-router)# network 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255 area 0 R2(config-router)#


                               Step 3.


                               Configure the router to  the 192.168.10.0/30 network attached to the Serial 0/0/0 interface. R2(config-router)# network 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.3 area 0 R2(config-router)# 00:07:27: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 192.168.10.5 on Serial0/0/0 from EXCHANGE to FULL, Exchange Done


                               Notice that when the network for the serial link from R1 to R2 is added to the OSPF configuration, the router sends a notification message to the console stating that a neighbor relationship with another OSPF router has been established.


                               Chapter 11: OSPF


                               Step 4.


                               515


                               Configure the router to  the 192.168.10.8/30 network attached to the Serial 0/0/1 interface. When you are finished, return to privileged EXEC mode: R2(config-router)# network 192.168.10.8 0.0.0.3 area 0 R2(config-router)# end %SYS-5-CONFIGI: Configured from console by console R2#


                               Step 5.


                               Configure OSPF on the R3 router using the router ospf and network commands. Use a process ID of 1. Configure the router to  the three directly connected networks. When you are finished, return to privileged EXEC mode: R3(config)# router ospf 1 R3(config-router)# network 172.16.1.32 0.0.0.7 area 0 R3(config-router)# network 192.168.10.4 0.0.0.3 area 0 R3(config-router)# 00:17:46: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 192.168.10.5 on Serial0/0/0 from LOADING to FULL, Loading Done R3(config-router)# network 192.168.10.8 0.0.0.3 area 0 R3(config-router)# 00:18:01: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 192.168.10.9 on Serial0/0/1 from EXCHANGE to FULL, Exchange Done R3(config-router)# end %SYS-5-CONFIGI: Configured from console by console R3#


                               Notice that when the networks for the serial links from R3 to R1 and R3 to R2 are added to the OSPF configuration, the router sends a notification message to the console stating that a neighbor relationship with another OSPF router has been established.


                               Task 6: Configure OSPF Router IDs The OSPF router ID is used to uniquely identify the router in the OSPF routing domain. A router ID is an IP address. Cisco routers derive the router ID in one of three ways and with the following precedence: 1.


                               IP address configured with the OSPF router-id command


                               2.


                               Highest IP address of any of the router’s loopback addresses


                               3.


                               Highest active IP address on any of the router’s physical interfaces


                               Step 1.


                               Examine the current router IDs in the topology. Because no router IDs or loopback interfaces have been configured on the three routers, the router ID for each router is determined by the highest IP address of any active interface. What is the router ID for R1? 192.168.10.5 What is the router ID for R2? 192.168.10.9 What is the router ID for R3? 192.168.10.10


                               516


                               Routing Protocols and Concepts, CCNA Exploration Labs and Study Guide


                               The router ID can also be seen in the output of the show ip protocols, show ip ospf, and show ip ospf interfaces commands: R3# show ip protocols Routing Protocol is “ospf 1” Outgoing update filter list for all interfaces is not set Incoming update filter list for all interfaces is not set Router ID 192.168.10.10 Number of areas in this router is 1. 1 normal 0 stub 0 nssa Maximum path: 4  R3# show ip ospf Routing Process “ospf 1” with ID 192.168.10.10 s only single TOS(TOS0) routes s opaque LSA SPF schedule delay 5 secs, Hold time between two SPFs 10 secs  R3# show ip ospf interface FastEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up Internet address is 172.16.1.33/29, Area 0 Process ID 1, Router ID 192.168.10.10, Network Type BROADCAST, Cost: 1 Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State DR, Priority 1 Designated Router (ID) 192.168.10.10, Interface address 172.16.1.33 No backup designated router on this network Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 40, Retransmit 5 Hello due in 00:00:00 Index 1/1, flood queue length 0 Next 0x0(0)/0x0(0) Last flood scan length is 1, maximum is 1 Last flood scan time is 0 msec, maximum is 0 msec Neighbor Count is 0, Adjacent neighbor count is 0 Suppress hello for 0 neighbor(s) 


                               Step 2.


                               Use loopback addresses to change the router IDs of the routers in the topology. R1(config)# interface loopback 0 R1(config-if)# ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 R2(config)# interface loopback 0 R2(config-if)# ip address 10.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 R3(config)# interface loopback 0 R3(config-if)# ip address 10.3.3.3 255.255.255.255


                               Step 3.


                               Reload the routers to force the new router IDs to be used. When a new router ID is configured, it will not be used until the OSPF process is restarted. Make sure that the current configuration is saved to NRAM, and then use the reload command to restart each of the routers.

                               517


                               When the router is reloaded, what is the router ID for R1? 10.1.1.1 When the router is reloaded, what is the router ID for R2? 10.2.2.2 When the router is reloaded, what is the router ID for R3? 10.3.3.3 Step 4.


                               Use the show ip ospf neighbors command to  that the router IDs have changed. R1# show ip ospf neighbor Neighbor ID

                               Use the router-id command to change the router ID on the R1 router.


                               Note: Some IOS versions do not  the router-id command. If this command is not available, continue to Task 7. R1(config)# router ospf 1 R1(config-router)# router-id 10.4.4.4 Reload or use “clear ip ospf process” command, for this to take effect


                               If this command is used on an OSPF router process that is already active (has neighbors), the new router ID is used at the next reload or at a manual OSPF process restart. To manually restart the OSPF process, use the clear ip ospf process command: R1(config-router)#end R1# clear ip ospf process Reset ALL OSPF processes? [no]:yes R1#


                               Step 6.


                               Use the show ip ospf neighbor command on router R2 to  that the router ID of R1 has been changed. R2# show ip ospf neighbor Neighbor ID

                               Remove the configured router ID with the no form of the router-id command. R1(config)# router ospf 1 R1(config-router)# no router-id 10.4.4.4 Reload or use “clear ip ospf process” command, for this to take effect


                               Step 8.


                               Restart the OSPF process using the clear ip ospf process command. Restarting the OSPF process forces the router to use the IP address configured on the Loopback 0 interface as the router ID: R1(config-router)# end R1# clear ip ospf process Reset ALL OSPF processes? [no]:yes R1#

                               On the R1 router, use the show ip ospf neighbor command to view the information about the OSPF neighbor routers R2 and R3. You should be able to see the neighbor ID and IP address of each adjacent router, and the interface that R1 uses to reach that OSPF neighbor: R1# show ip ospf neighbor Neighbor ID

                               Step 2.


                               Use the show interfaces serial0/0/0 command on the R1 router to view the bandwidth of the Serial 0/0/0 interface. R1# show interfaces serial0/0/0 Serial0/0/0 is up, line protocol is up (connected) Hardware is HD64570 Internet address is 192.168.10.1/30 MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255 Encapsulation HDLC, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec) Last input never, output never, output hang never Last clearing of “show interface” counters never Input queue: 0/75/0 (size/max/drops); Total output drops: 0 


                               On most serial links, the bandwidth metric will default to 1544 Kbits. If this is not the actual bandwidth of the serial link, the bandwidth will need to be changed so that the OSPF cost can be calculated correctly. Step 3.


                               Use the bandwidth command to change the bandwidth of the serial interfaces of the R1 and R2 routers to the actual bandwidth. R1(config)# interface serial0/0/0 R1(config-if)# bandwidth 64 R1(config-if)# interface serial0/0/1 R1(config-if)# bandwidth 256 R2(config)# interface serial0/0/0 R2(config-if)# bandwidth 64 R1(config-if)# interface serial0/0/1 R1(config-if)# bandwidth 128


                               Step 4.


                               Use the show ip ospf interface command on the R1 router to  the cost of the serial links. The cost of the serial link between R1 and R2 is now 1562, the result of the calculation 108/64,000 bps. Each router will now also have a new cost for its Serial 0/0/1 interface: R1# show ip ospf interface  Serial0/0/0 is up, line protocol is up Internet address is 192.168.10.1/30, Area 0 Process ID 1, Router ID 10.1.1.1, Network Type POINT-TO-POINT, Cost: 1562 Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State POINT-TO-POINT, Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 40, Retransmit 5 Hello due in 00:00:05 Index 2/2, flood queue length 0 Next 0x0(0)/0x0(0)

                               Step 5.


                               Use the ip ospf cost command to configure the OSPF cost on the R3 router. An alternative method to using the bandwidth command is to use the ip ospf cost command, which allows you to directly configure the cost. Use the ip ospf cost command to change the bandwidth of the serial interfaces of R3: R3(config-if)# interface serial0/0/0 R3(config-if)# ip ospf cost 390


                               Step 6.


                               Use the show ip ospf interface command on the R3 router to  that the cost of each of the serial links is now 781. R3# show ip ospf interface  Serial0/0/1 is up, line protocol is up Internet address is 192.168.10.10/30, Area 0 Process ID 1, Router ID 10.3.3.3, Network Type POINT-TO-POINT, Cost: 781 Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State POINT-TO-POINT, Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 40, Retransmit 5 Hello due in 00:00:06 Index 2/2, flood queue length 0 Next 0x0(0)/0x0(0) Last flood scan length is 1, maximum is 1 Last flood scan time is 0 msec, maximum is 0 msec Neighbor Count is 1 , Adjacent neighbor count is 1 Adjacent with neighbor 10.2.2.2 Suppress hello for 0 neighbor(s) Serial0/0/0 is up, line protocol is up Internet address is 192.168.10.6/30, Area 0 Process ID 1, Router ID 10.3.3.3, Network Type POINT-TO-POINT, Cost: 390 Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State POINT-TO-POINT,

Configure this command on all routers in the OSPF routing domain. R1(config-router)# auto-cost reference-bandwidth 10000 % OSPF: Reference bandwidth is changed. Please ensure reference bandwidth is consistent across all routers. R2(config-router)# auto-cost reference-bandwidth 10000 % OSPF: Reference bandwidth is changed.

                               Configure the OSPF Hello and Dead intervals. The OSPF Hello and Dead intervals can be modified manually using the ip ospf hellointerval and ip ospf dead-interval interface commands. Use these commands to change the Hello interval to 5 seconds and the Dead interval to 20 seconds on the Serial 0/0/0 interface of the R1 router: R1(config)# interface serial0/0/0 R1(config-if)# ip ospf hello-interval 5 R1(config-if)# ip ospf dead-interval 20 R1(config-if)# 01:09:04: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: to DOWN, Neighbor Down: 01:09:04: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: to Down: Interface down


                               Process 1, Nbr 10.2.2.2 on Serial0/0/0 from FULL Dead timer expired Process 1, Nbr 10.2.2.2 on Serial0/0/0 from FULL or detached


                               After 20 seconds, the Dead Timer on R1 expires. R1 and R2 lose adjacency because the Dead Timer and Hello Timer must be configured identically on each side of the serial link between R1 and R2. Step 5.


                               Modify the Dead Timer and Hello Timer intervals. Modify the Dead Timer and Hello Timer intervals on the Serial 0/0/0 interface of the R2 router to match the intervals configured on the Serial 0/0/0 interface of the R1 router: R2(config)# interface serial0/0/0 R2(config-if)# ip ospf hello-interval 5 R2(config-if)# ip ospf dead-interval 20 R2(config-if)# 01:12:10: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 10.1.1.1 on Serial0/0/0 from EXCHANGE to FULL, Exchange Done


                               Notice that IOS displays a message when adjacency has been established with a state of Full. Step 6.


                               Use the show ip ospf interface serial0/0/0 command to  that the Hello Timer and Dead Timer intervals have been modified. R2# show ip ospf interface serial0/0/0 =Serial0/0/0 is up, line protocol is up Internet address is 192.168.10.2/30, Area 0 Process ID 1, Router ID 10.2.2.2, Network Type POINT-TO-POINT, Cost: 65535 Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State POINT-TO-POINT, Timer intervals configured, Hello 5, Dead 20, Wait 20, Retransmit 5 Hello due in 00:00:00 Index 3/3, flood queue length 0

                               Use the show ip ospf neighbor command on R1 to  that the neighbor adjacency with R2 has been restored. Notice that the Dead Time for Serial 0/0/0 is now much lower because it is counting down from 20 seconds instead of the default 40 seconds. Serial 0/0/1 is still operating with default timers: R1# show ip ospf neighbor Neighbor ID

                               Task 1: Prepare the Network Step 1.


                               Cable a network that is similar to the one shown in the topology diagram of Figure 11-12. You can use any current router in your lab as long as it has the required interfaces shown in the topology.


                               Note: If you use 1700, 2500, or 2600 routers, the router outputs and interface descriptions will appear different.


                               In this topology, we have three routers sharing a common Ethernet multiaccess network, 192.168.1.0/24. Each router will be configured with an IP address on the Fast Ethernet interface and a loopback address for the router ID. Step 2.


                               Clear any existing configurations on the routers.


                               Task 2: Perform Basic Router Configurations Perform basic configuration of the R1, R2, and R3 routers according to the following guidelines: ■


                               Configure the router host name.


                               ■

                               Task 3: Configure and Activate Ethernet and Loopback Addresses Step 1.


                               Configure interfaces on R1, R2, and R3. Configure the Ethernet and Loopback interfaces on the R1, R2, and R3 routers with the IP addresses from the table under the topology diagram. Use the show ip interface brief command to  that the IP addressing is correct. When you have finished, be sure to save the running configuration to the NVRAM of the router.


                               Step 2.


                                IP addressing and interfaces. Use the show ip interface brief command to  that the IP addressing is correct and that the interfaces are active. When you have finished, be sure to save the running configuration to the NVRAM of the router.


                               Task 4: Configure OSPF on the DR Router The DR and BDR election process takes place as soon as the first router has its interface enabled on the multiaccess network. This can happen as the routers are powered on or when the OSPF network command for that interface is configured. If a new router enters the network after the DR and BDR have already been elected, it will not become the DR or BDR even if it has a higher OSPF interface priority or router ID than the current DR or BDR. Configure the OSPF process on the router with the highest router ID first to ensure that this router becomes the DR. Step 1.


                               Use the router ospf command in global configuration mode to enable OSPF on the R3 router. Enter a process ID of 1 for the process-ID parameter. Configure the router to  the 192.168.1.0/24 network. Use an area ID of 0 for the OSPF area-id parameter in the network statement. R3(config)# router ospf 1 R3(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0 R3(config-router)# end


                               Step 2.


                               Use the show ip ospf interface command to  that the OSPF has been configured correctly and that R3 is the DR. R3# show ip ospf interface FastEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up Internet address is 192.168.1.3/24, Area 0 Process ID 1, Router ID 192.168.31.33, Network Type BROADCAST, Cost: 1 Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State DR, Priority 1 Designated Router (ID) 192.168.31.33, Interface address 192.168.1.3 No backup designated router on this network Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 40, Retransmit 5 Hello due in 00:00:07

                               Task 5: Configure OSPF on the BDR Configure the OSPF process on the router with the second-highest router ID next to ensure that this router becomes the BDR. Step 1.


                               Use the router ospf command in global configuration mode to enable OSPF on the R2 router. Enter a process ID of 1 for the process-ID parameter. Configure the router to  the 192.168.1.0/24 network. Use an area ID of 0 for the OSPF area-id parameter in the network statement: R2(config)# router ospf 1 R2(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0 R2(config-router)# end %SYS-5-CONFIGI: Configured from console by console R2# 00:08:51: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 192.168.31.33 on FastEthernet0/0 from LOADING to FULL, Loading Done

                               Use the ip ospf priority interface command to change the OSPF priority of the R1 router to 255, which is the highest possible priority. R1(config)# interface fastEthernet0/0 R1(config-if)# ip ospf priority 255 R1(config-if)# end


                               Step 2.


                               Use the ip ospf priority interface command to change the OSPF priority of the R3 router to 100. R3(config)# interface fastEthernet0/0 R3(config-if)# ip ospf priority 100 R3(config-if)# end


                               Step 3.


                               Use the ip ospf priority interface command to change the OSPF priority of the R2 router to 0. A priority of 0 causes the router to be ineligible to participate in an OSPF election and become a DR or BDR: R2(config)# interface fastEthernet0/0 R2(config-if)# ip ospf priority 0 R2(config-if)# end


                               Step 4.


                               Shut down and reenable the FastEthernet 0/0 interfaces to force an OSPF election. The FastEthernet 0/0 interfaces of each of the routers can be shut down and reenabled to force an OSPF election. Shut down the FastEthernet 0/0 interface on each of the three routers. Notice that as the interfaces are shut down, the OSPF adjacencies are lost: R1(config)# interface fastethernet0/0 R1(config-if)# shutdown %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to istra tively down %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to down

                               Task 11: Reflection On PC1, use the tracert command to examine the route that is used between PC1 and PC3. What are the hops in the route to PC3? 172.20.32.1, the FastEthernet 0/0 interface of the Branch1 router 172.20.56.1, the Serial 0/0/0 interface of the HQ router 172.20.56.6, the Serial 0/0/1 interface of the Branch2 router 172.20.55.254, the IP address of PC3 Is this the least number of hops that can be used to reach PC3? No If the answer is no, why is a path with more than the minimum amount of hops used? The serial connection between the Branch1 and HQ routers and the connection between the HQ and Branch2 routers have a higher bandwidth than the link between the Branch1 and Branch2 routers. Routes with higher bandwidth values have a lower calculated cost. The route with the lowest cost is chosen as the route to the Branch2 LAN.

These scripts contain errors that will prevent end-to-end communication across the network. You will need to troubleshoot each router to determine the configuration errors, and then use the appropriate commands to correct the configurations. When you have corrected all the configuration errors, all the hosts on the network should be able to communicate with each other. The network should also have met the following requirements: ■
