Multi Area OSPF

[Rajesh1589]

People,

I am just curious to know whether anyone has done multi-area OSPF routing protocol configuration on free-labs PODs. If so please share some of the possible configurations.

I tried R1-R2-R7 Area-1
R3-R4-R7 Area-0
R5-R6-R7 Area-2
and tried to see if any routing is done from Area 1 to Area-2,,Its deosnt happen.

Please let me know if you have suggestions

Thanks,
Raj

I did it before,

configure R2 e0 R4 e0 R6 e0 in separate vlan, R1 e0, R3 e0, R5 e0 in the same vlan.

area 0 - R1 e0, R3 e0, R5 e0

area 1 R1-s1 ,R2 s1, R2 e0

area 2 - R3 s1 , R4 s2

area 3 - R4 e0 ( You may use for virtual link )

like this you may confiure & test

Hi,

when you mentioned "..configure R2 e0 R4 e0 R6 e0 in separate vlan.." does it mean 3 separate VLANs ? I did that but it didn't worked..

Appreciate your advise.

config as below:

vlan 10 name R2e0
vlan 20 name R4e0
vlan 30 name R6e0
vlan 40 name Second_VLAN

2) Assign Ports (2,4,6= R2e0, R4e0, R6e0 ) / (1,3,5= Second_VLAN)

conf t

switchport access vlan 40
