OSPF Sim

June 23rd, 2018 in LabSim Go to comments

Question

9tut.net company has decided to network three locations to improve efficiency in inventory control. The routers have been named to reflect the location: Boston, Frankfurt, Lancaster.

OSPFSim

The necessary networking has been completed at each location, and the routers have been configured with single area OSPF as the routing protocol. The Boston router was recently installed but connectivity is not complete because of incomplete routing tables. Identify and correct any problem you see in the configuration.

Note: The OSPF process must be configured to allow interfaces in specific subnets to participate in the routing process.

You can download this lab and open with Packet Tracer here: https://www.9tut.net/download/OSPF_Sim_with_Solution.zip. Please say thanks to Renan who shared the files with us!

Answer and Explanation:

The question mentioned Boston router was not configured correctly or incomplete so we should check this router first. Click on PC-B to access the command line interface (CLI) of Boston router.

 

Boston>enable (type cisco as its password here)

Boston#show running-config

 

OSPF_sim_show_run

First, remember that the current OSPF Process ID is 2 because we will need it for later configuration. Next notice that in the second “network” command the network and wildcard mask are 192.168.155.0 and 0.0.0.3 which is equivalent to 192.168.155.0 255.255.255.252 in term of subnet mask. Therefore this subnetwork’s range is from 192.168.155.0 to 192.168.155.3 but the ip address of s0/0 interface of Boston router is 192.168.155.5 which don’t belong to this range -> this is the reason why OSPF did not recognize s0 interface of Boston router as a part of area 0. So we need to find a subnetwork that s0 interface belongs to.

IP address of S0 interface: 192.168.155.5/30

Subnet mask: /30 = 1111 1111.1111 1111.1111 1111.1111 1100

Increment: 4

Network address (which IP address of s0 interface belongs to): 192.168.155.4 (because 4 * 1 = 4 < 5)

Therefore we must use this network instead of 192.168.155.0 network

Boston#configure terminal

Boston(config)#router ospf 2

Boston(config-router)#no network 192.168.155.0 0.0.0.3 area 0

Boston(config-router)#network 192.168.155.4 0.0.0.3 area 0

Boston(config-router)#end

Boston#copy running-config startup-config

Finally, you should issue a ping command from Boston router to Lancaster router to make sure it works well.

Boston#ping 192.168.43.1

    Passed ICND2 today!!!
    Every questions came from this dump.
    http://www.examcollection.com/cisco/Cisco.ActualTests.640-816.v2010-02-08.by.CrazyHunter.vce.file.html

    Got the OSPF and VTP lab from 9tut.

    Just took the icnd2 640-816 exam and passed with 917. I got a question simular to this (same layout and OSPF area), but I really struggled with this question (probably would have scored much higher). The quesion was sort of “Boston router exists on the network. Frankfurt and Lancaster are added to the network but users are experiecing communication problems” Not exactly but something like that. Anyway, I poked around to try to troubleshoot this and found that Lancaster was not showing any routes in #sh ip route. I saw (#sh run) that one of the networks were config’d to area 1 instead of 0 so I removed “no network” and put back with area 0 which fixed that but I didnt’ see any other issues on the other routers. I’m sure I missed some points on this one. It was hard moving around in theri querkie interface and I was panicing.

    Some of the multiple choice came from Testinside but not alot (not sure if they changed the test recently).

    SIM were only 2 – This one and the VTP. No drag and drops at all.

    I was sweating this one and wasn’t sure if I would pass because I bombed this SIM but 917… I’ll take it. Good luck to all.

    I just looked at my score for this SIM and I only scored a 73% so I definately missed some stuff. Oh well at least I passed. I was running out of time and this was 3rd to last question so I just moved on (41 questions 1:15 mins). Anyway I still passed but I know I could have scored higher if I only had the time.

    I see a second mistake on router Lancaster. The interface s0 got the ip adress 192.168.155.9 this a NETWORK ADRESS. It must be 10 and 11 to work properly.

  5. 9tut
    August 21st, 2010

    With the subnet mask of /30, the increment is 4 so 192.168.155.0, 192.168.155.4, 192.168.155.8 and 192.168.155.12 are the network addresses. 192.168.155.9 is the first usable address in the 192.168.155.8/30 sub-network.

    hey none, what did u get on the test? im about to take it and i took it 3 weeks ago.

  8. tswann69
    September 3rd, 2010

    I studied the test-inside and took the exam but failed miserably. Went to test-king.com and they just recently updated there study guide as of 8/31 for the ICND2 and noticed a lot of the questions that I missed on there. I am going to study it this weekend and take test soon so I will know better. The only one I did not see was the Lab of the East and West switch that you had to configure ip address etc but I could not find any other addresses to go off of so I was frustrated at the time and blew that one.

    H, eveyone ,has the vtp/ospf/nat/acl changed that much.I have been useing Pass4sure and How2pass, which is the best because it has all the interactive sim’s that you can practice.I pass icnd 1 and the sims were exactly like the test.It cost just $30 and has everything you need.Does anyone know if the test has changed.I am going to test foe icnd2

    Just passed the 822 test last week and now looking at the 816. Looking at some of the test question there seems to be a lot of overlap. So, can anyone tell me if any sims from the 822 will be on the 816?

    Also any other info will be good to know.

    Took the exam last week. Had this OSPF Sim. Remember to copy run/start and ping to get full credit!

  29. A bad day
    February 6th, 2011

    I took my 640-822 yesterday and failed with 811 points, i had 40 questions containin 2 sim. One was to assign i.p address, default-gateway and change the switch to a vtp client. A well config. Switch was connected to de new switch. Will i pay another $125 if i wanna re take ?

  30. gordikkk
    February 11th, 2011

    @A bad day Yep, you should pay again for retake 🙁

    Does anyone have a packet tracer sim for this question?

  32. stevemej
    February 17th, 2011

    Does anybody know if the ping at the end scores any points in the exam?
    similarly with the vtp sim are there any points for saving running config to startup and pinging the router?

    thanks in advance

  33. TestSoon
    March 10th, 2011

    Why did you use the command
    network 192.168.155.4 0.0.0.3 area 0
    instead of just
    network 192.168.155.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

    I understand that this way the mask is a bit larger than needed, but it won’t cause any issues, would it?

    Hi 9tut about the Sim shown above does the below statement have any impact on answering the sim question.
    Q. Does OSPF form adjacencies with neighbors that are not on the same
    subnet?
    A. The only time that OSPF forms adjacencies between neighbors that are not on the same
    subnet is when the neighbors are connected through point−to−point links. This may be
    desired when using the ip unnumbered command, but in all other cases, the neighbors must
    be on the same subnet.

  38. Dave Jr
    May 15th, 2011

    The question was:
    Why did you use the command
    network 192.168.155.4 0.0.0.3 area 0
    instead of just
    network 192.168.155.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

    I understand that this way the mask is a bit larger than needed, but it won’t cause any issues, would it?

    Answer:
    Because then you would be advertising the whole of the 192.168.155.0 range instead of two addresses. You might want to use VLSM and use those addresses else where in your network. I’m not sure if the 0.0.0.255 would be wrong for this particular test question, but if the other serial links are using addresses in the 192.168.155.0 255.255.255.0 range, it wouldn’t work and your answer would be wrong. Best to stick with the 0.0.0.3.

  39. rupul
    July 27th, 2011

    One question from my side. Is it wrong to configure it this way?

    network 192.168.155.0 0.0.0.8 area 0?

    Please tell me. my email id: kp_lt@yahoo.co.in

  40. sachin
    August 2nd, 2011

    @rupul
    It will be correct if you consider 1st subnet i.e. subnet zero

    Greatfulness is a noble virtue. But, It is better to put some information on the exam’s questions. It should be more helpful and agreable for us who are preparing for the CCNA ( ICND 1 and ICND 2 ) exam.

    Thanks, xallax, for quick respons.

    The planning is on protocol ospf ?

    What is the criteria , in this case, to use ospf?

    Why don’t apply vlan and vtp?

    Please explain it, for remove my confusion.
    Thankyou, xallax.

  63. xallax
    February 7th, 2012

    @big man, big mind
    vlan, vtp, frames… those are layer 2 concepts.
    ospf, rip, eigrp, routes… these are layer 3 concepts

  64. Big man, Big mind.
    February 7th, 2012

    promise Fred,
    Asked for ‘LAN’ to be deployed.
    That’s why i thought about layer 2 concept.

    Now, can you show, how it will be the whole configuration on that LAN (Promise Fred) or wan network ? As your better understanding, please explain it.
    If you will put it step by step, for better understanding,

    I passed (3rd try) a couple of weeks ago, and did not use any dumps. Read 2 books, bought a sim (Boson) and 1 practice test. The material on this website was the difference. This last test seemed much easier! got 958 with 17 minutes to spare. Its the luck of the draw on these exams.

    I hear you, though I’m ok with tanikg the easier path as getting the cert doesn’t mean I stop learning. If you’re against tanikg the easy way out, maybe you should limit the amount of study materials you have access to, or quit labbing as a learning tool, or hell, may as well poke one of your eyes out. Doing all this with one eye would be even less easy.:DRegardless of getting the cert, I’ll still be studying, learning and labbing. I can’t get enough of this stuff. The CCIE is my end goal as well, but I need something to fill the time until I’m ready to revisit that road.The benefit of the cert is that I’ll (hopefully) get a little bump at work, or have an easier time finding a new job.
