Lab 175 - MPLS VPN using OSPF

Prerequisites: CCNP level skills.

Note!
This lab layout is based on the new physical topology presented here. This lab assumes that you have successfully configured ALL previous MPLS labs.

IMPORTANT!
As per recommendation ALL loopback addresses on P and PE routers will use /32 network mask!
PE routers are: R1, R3, SW3.
P router is: R2
All other devices are CE routers in this MPLS topology.

Topology


Pic. 1 - MPLS Topology.


Task 1
Configure two additional loopback interfaces in R4 and advertise all of them using OSPF. The new loopback addresses should be as follows:
  • Loobpack1 = 192.168.4.1/27
  • Loopback2 = 192.168.4.33/27
Task 2
Configure two additional loopback interfaces in R5 and advertise all of them using OSPF. The new loopback addresses should be as follows:
  • Loobpack1 = 192.168.5.1/27
  • Loopback2 = 192.168.5.33/27
Advertise Loopback0 address 10.0.8.8 of SW2 in OSPF (almost forgot - thanks Tom for today's comment).
DO NOT enable ospf peering between R4 and R5 on their direct LAN connection (for now, since I want to come back to it later).

Task 3
Configure devices such that SW2R4, and R5 subnets are reachable. Use layer3 VPN to accomplish this.
