Lab 10 - OSPF Filtering with Distance

Lab 10 - OSPF Filtering with Distance
Di Posting Oleh : Simple Learning
Kategori : Core Technologies OSPF Routing

Prerequisites: CCNP level skills.

Note!
Routers use OSPF configuration from the lab 6.
One thing to remember is that all routers within the same OSPF area share the EXACT same LSA database! This will affect how we can filter OSPF updates.

There are a few filtering methods:
  1. Ingress filtering using a 'distribute-list'. 
  2. Ingress filtering using a 'distribute-list' with a 'route-map'. 
  3. Ingress filtering by changing the Administrative Distance of the prefixes to UNKNOWN (255).
  4. Type 3 LSA filtering using 'area area-number range' command (applied on ABR).
  5. Type 3 LSA filtering using 'filter-list' command.
  6. LSA Flooding Filtering.
The first three methods (1-3) prevent prefixes from entering the routing table. The LSAs are still going to be present in the LSDB since all routers in OSPF area must be synchronized (the same LSDB). These methods are the intra-area filters.

The last three methods (4-6) are inter-area filters preventing LSAs from entering LSDB.

Task List

Task 1
On R3, check the routing table. Make sure that it shows prefixes: 172.16.101.0/24 and 172.16.102.0/24.

Task 2
Configure R3 so prefixes 172.16.101.0/24 and 172.16.102.0/24 do not show in the routing table but show in the LSDB. Do not use distribute-list to accomplish this. Make sure that you match on the router-id of advertising routers.

Task 3
Check the results. Both prefixes in question should be removed from the routing table but should be still seen in the LSDB.

The prefixes 172.16.101.0/24 and 172.16.102.0 are gone!
