Section 9 – Configuring OSPF

In this lab you will learn how to configure the backbone area (Area 0) of Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) to build the backbone foundation of an OSPF network.

In this lab you will learn how to configure the backbone area (Area 0) of Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) to build the backbone foundation of an OSPF network.

In this lab you will learn how to configure different Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) interface network types to ensure OSPF operation over different layer two technologies.


In this lab you will learn how to configure Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) static neighbors to induce neighbor relationships on a non-broadcast network such as frame relay.

In this lab you will learn how to configure multiple OSPF areas to segregate the routed network in a hierarchical structure to ease management and conserve router resources.

In this lab you will learn how to configure an Open Shortest Path First Router-ID (RID) on a Cisco router which is used to uniquely identify an OSPF router in an autonomous system.

In this lab you will learn how to configure the Open Shortest Path First Hello and Dead timers to ensure OSPF network type interoperability and/or increase network convergence time.

In this lab you will learn how to configure Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) on a per interface basis without the use of the network statement in OSPF router configuration mode.

In this lab you will learn how to configure the different types of Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Stub areas to conserve router resources and ease network management.


In this lab you will learn how to configure manipulate Open Shortest Path First route metrics by statically configuring the OSPF interface cost.

In this lab you will learn how to configure the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) auto cost reference bandwidth used to dynamically generate an OSPF route metric.

In this lab you will learn how to configure an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) passive interface to prevent OSPF from forming neighbor relationships on an OSPF enabled interface.

In this lab you will learn how to configure an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) passive interface to prevent OSPF from forming neighbor relationships on an OSPF enabled interface.

In this lab you will learn how to configure an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Inter-Area route summary on an ABR to advertise upstream neighbors as a single route prefix.

In this lab you will learn how to configure Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) to advertise a default route through out the entire OSPF autonomous system.
