Title: Chapter 5: Inter-VLAN Routing Adjust and Troubleshoot Single Area OSPF
Course: RITA MC - CISCO III > Section: Course Outline and Objectives

Overview, Objectives and Outline

OSPF is a popular link state routing protocol that can be fine-tuned in many ways. Some of the most common methods of fine tuning include manipulating the Designated Router/Backup Designated Router (DR/BDR) election process, propagating default routes, fine-tuning the OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 interfaces, and enabling authentication.

This chapter of OSPF describes these tuning features, the configuration mode commands to implement these features for both IPv4 and IPv6, and the components and commands used to troubleshoot OSPFv2 and OSPFv3.

Learning Objectives for Chapter 5

- Modify the OSPF interface priority to influence the DR/BDR election.
- Configure a router to propagate a default route in an OSPF network.
- Modify the OSPF interface settings to improve network performance.

- Explain the process and tools used to troubleshoot a single-area OSPF network.
- Troubleshoot missing route entries in a single-area OSPFv2 route table.
- Troubleshoot missing route entries in a single-area OSPFv3 route table.
