Hello Keith. I did the Lab . it was Challenging but a good way to Test our Skills with the OSPF Concept. Some of IssueS with regards to the Lab were Namely: 1, The OSPF neighbour relationship were not formed due to Mismatched Hello -Interval , Ospf Network type. 2, Core Switches Routing not Enabled 3, After configured with correct wild card Mask ( 0.0.0.15) and (0.0..0.255) Ping was Successful to both Servers from PC1 Thank you Keith.

Keith! You kicked my behind with this one. Lots of great curveballs in there. Took me longer than I would have liked, and had to restart from scratch a couple times, but eventually got it done. This one really pushed me to learn and get outside my comfort zone, and for that I have to say thanks!! 😎

I managed to get through this without too much trouble, though it took me a little bit longer than I would like. Planning on taking the CCNA in the next 2 weeks and I am trying to make sure that I don't let nerves trip me up by taking on as many troubleshooting labs as possible over the next few days...

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you zosthegoatherd! How did the exam go?

[@zosthegoatherd]

@@KeithBarker I ended up letting nerves get to me and didn't follow my plan for managing time... Didn't even even look at the paperwork, texted my wife that I had failed, then at home got very confused that it said 'Pass'...

@Keith Barker Is there a video of you walking through the OSPF troubleshooting lab? if there is I can't find it.

[@tango12341234]

Do you have a video that goes over the lab Keith?

[@nonegiven]

Thanks Keith, I tried and failed yesterday but gave it another go this morning and solved it! I had to use show run a few times though and once I had seen an issue I then went and tried to find a correct show command to see if I could find the error in those. It was a toughy! Need to remind myself about vlans.

[@nonegiven]

@@prateektanwar1207 I can't remember but I would make sure every switch has the plans it needs along with access and trunk ports correctly set up. Possibly also routing? I might have another go later today.

[@imcg]

Hi Keith, this took me a long time to do, but I did do it :) Very happy. I found drawing out the network map and writing in the IP's helped me focus on the ospf networks I needed. I did have a question regarding part 2. So for part 2, I simply put a 10.16.16.x IP on SW3 and a 10.16.8.x IP on SW2, pointed them to R3 and R2 respectively for their gateway. Is there an alternative that I could have done? Management IPs are always confusing for me, I don't know why.

Hi Keith, Ollie here. I am trying out one of the ospf labs on your site, OSPF More Tshoot 202-07-17, and I was wondering if you had done a walk through for it? I can't locate in the playlist. Wanted to know what I am doing wrong.

[@klausgrassmann8647]

it would be nice to have a walkthrough video

[@Koszification]

Thanks Keith. I'm done with the first part. However I have a question regarding the management Vlan for the switches. I don't see any? :) When we do a "show vlan" on a core switch this is the outcome: 10 PUBLIC 20 PRIVATE 30 VOIP 40 CCTV

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you for the question Koszification. The short answer is, there aren't any. You will need to create the appropriate SVIs, assign an address from the correct address space, and then set up a default gateway. Great practice of several items. Thanks for the question, and enjoy!!!

[@prateektanwar1207]

Hey Keith, Hope you are doing good this was a great lab almost everything is done the ospf neighbor adjecency came up and servers ccan ping each other and all the routers however the issue I am facing is the pc is not able to ping the g 0/0 int on R1 it can not reach it the g 1/0/3 int of cor e 1 is in vlan 40 however pc 1 is in vlan 10 intervlan routing is enabled i dont know what to do please help regards from INDIA , this wad really a great lab :-)

Keith, im working on this lab and im stuck trying to access the webpages. Those are the ones i can see from Services? i mean, its just image.html or how can i see the full url? i tried using the ip/image.html but im not sure if im on the right path or i need some extra work like dns config Thank you!

[@wally19]

well.. now is working lol i think packet tracer needed a bit of time to get things updated.

[@Alex-eg9yd]

I am pretty stuck on this one. I have OSPF configured between R1, R2 & R3. Each Router can ping the servers, but I am having trouble getting the VLANs behind R1 to show up in the routing table, thus the packet does not get returned. Can someone help me out?

[@KeithBarker]

Hi @Alex-eg9yd! Make sure all the interfaces on R1 are included in OSPF. If you are using a single area (0), and easy way to verify all interfaces are participating is by using the following in ospf router configuration mode: network 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 area 0 Then, make sure that R1 is an OSPF neighbor with R2 and R3: show ip ospf neighbors If you have the network statement on all 3 routers, and using the default for timers, you should be set. hope that helps, and happy studies.

[@Alex-eg9yd]

@@KeithBarker Hi Keith, First off, thank you for the quick response! Really enjoying these labs! I'm hoping to take my CCNA here soon! Anyhow, right after I left you a comment I was able to figure it out, using two different methods, but none that I'm 100% sure they are correct. My problem is getting the Vlan networks to show up in OSPF after setting the command 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 area 0. The way I did it was by configuring Inter-vlan routing on R1 and configuring a sub-interface for each. I also configured port g1/0/3 as a trunk and changed the gateway of the PC to the sub-interface on R1 (10.16.0.5). This works and can access both servers, but I can't ping either of the core loopbacks. That is also my other question, I know this was not part of the task, but how do I make it so PC1 and servers on other networks can ping the core loopbacks as well? Thank you!

I will return just some sidetracking going on
