【Lab Objectives】
1. Learn LSA function of type1, type2, type3, type4 and type5.
2. Learn area features of OSPF Totally Stub
3. Learn area configuration methods of OSPF Totally Stub
4. Learn area configuration requirements of OSPF Stub: Stub has at least one ABR, but not ASBR.
Note: Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA) is CISCO private.
【Lab Topology】
【Lab Steps】
1. Configure IP addresses of every router, and use ping command to confirm the direct interface connectivity of every router.
2. Configure OSPF and RIP protocol, and use ping and show ip route command to confirm that protocol can work normally
3. Configure redistribution on R3 to complete lab requirements. Configure as follows:
|
R3(config)#router ospf 1 R3(config-router)#redistribute rip subnets metric 200 R3(config-router)#exit R3(config)# R3(config)#router rip R3(config-router)#redistribute ospf 1 metric 10 R3(config-router)#exit R3(config)#exit |
4. First configure area1 as ospf stub area
5. Check R1 routing table and data link status database
|
R1#show ip ospf database

6. With stub area features configuration, we can effectively reduce the size of routing table. But the R1 routing table is not the simplest. We may use totally stub area feature to further reduce the size of routing table. The following shows the configuration:
|
R2(config)#router ospf 1 R2(config-router)#area 1 stub no-summary R2(config-router)#exit R2(config)#exit |
|
R1(config)#router ospf 1 R1(config-router)#area 1 stub R1(config-router)#exit R1(config)#exit |
7. Check R1 routing table again
|
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, su – IS-IS summary, L1 – IS-IS level-1, L2 – IS-IS level-2 ia – IS-IS inter area, * – candidate default, U – per-user static route o – ODR, P – periodic downloaded static route
Gateway of last resort is 172.16.255.2 to network 0.0.0.0
172.16.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks C 172.16.255.0/30 is directly connected, Serial1/1 C 172.16.1.0/24 is directly connected, Loopback0 O*IA 0.0.0.0/0 [110/65] via 172.16.255.2, 00:34:32, Serial1/1 R1# |
8. Check link status database of R1. It has only LSA of type1 and type3 (after summary). LSA of other OSPF areas is forbidden.
|
R1#show ip ospf database

9. Use ping command to confirm routes.
|
R1#ping 10.1.1.1
Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds: .!!!! Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 216/570/1488 ms |
10. The main point of this lab is: Totally Stub Area refuses LSA of type3, type4 and type5. Default route is used in non-OSPF autonomous system network of other areas.
11. Lab finished.
Hope to helpful for you!
