I have a question that is bothering me. I just finished my CCNA 3 class (Switching and Intermediat Routing) and during the Skills Based Assessment, I had points taken off for a configuration that was taught to us during the class and wanted to get another opinion or two.
I have two 2600 routers connected via s0/0 on each (172.16.100.1/30 and
172.16.100.2/30). Both routers are in Area 0. Router 1 originates the default route to the internet and that works fine. But Router 2 is connected to a switch via Fa0/0 with 3 VLAN's and so we configure trunking. The lab requires only 4 subnets to be routed:172.16.1.0/24 - VLAN 1
172.16.10.0/24 -VLAN 10172.16.20.0/24 - VLAN 20
172.16.100.0/24 - WAN Connection.So on Router 2 I do the following steps for configuring OSPF:
a. Config t
b. Router ospf 1
c. Network 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
d. Network 172.16.10.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
e. Network 172.16.20.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
f. Network 172.16.100.0 0.0.0.3 area 0
g. Log-adjacency-changes
So on Router 1 I do the following steps for configuring OSPF:
a. Config t
b. Router ospf 1
c. Network 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
d. Network 172.16.10.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
e. Network 172.16.20.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
f. Network 172.16.100.0 0.0.0.3 area 0
g. Log-adjacency-changes
The instructor told me that on Router 1 I didn't have to add the networks and area and thus took off points.
However, as I went back through the labs that were done throughout the course the lab instructions indicate that both routers need to be configured with the networks.
Any thoughts would be appreciated
