Task 1
In the task 3 of the previous lab you configured R3 as the gateway for all inter-area prefixes. Remove this configuration making area 34 NSSA with both R3 and R4 injecting N2 default route.

Task 2
Ensure that R3 is the LSA7-to-5 Translator.

Questions
Try to answer the following questions:
  1. In case there are two or more ABRs connected to the NSSA area, which device translates LSA7 to LSA5 while injecting NSSA external routes into OSPF area 0?

Task 1
In the task 3 of the previous you configured R3 as the gateway for all inter-area prefixes. Remove this configuration making area 34 NSSA with both R3 and R4 injecting N2 default route.

R4 Config:
!
router ospf 1
 no area 34 no-summary

 area 34 nssa default-information-originate
!

Note!
Both R3 and R4 have the same 'area 34 nssa default-information-originate' configured in the OSPF router.

Pic. 2 - R3 and R4 Inject N2 Default Route.


Task 2
Ensure that R3 is the LSA7-to-5 Translator.

Note!
In order to see which device is advertising 10.0.7.7/32 prefix, check 'show ip ospf database' on R1. Look at the output below:

Pic. 3 - LSA7-to-LSA5 Current Translator (now change in the config).


R3 Config:

Pic. 4 - R3 Configuration.


Note!
For this change to take effect, clear ip ospf process on R3 as per Pic. 3, but also clear ospf process on R1 before you check the below:

Pic. 5 - LSA7-to-LSA5 Current Translator.



Study Drill

The router with the highest router-id becomes LSA7-to-LSA5 translator.
