Configure ripng in a lab by enabling IPv6 on all interfaces, starting the ipv6 router rip process, and injecting and verifying a default route to ensure reachability across the network.

Configure EIGRP basic settings by assigning IP addresses to interfaces and a loopback. Then enable EIGRP on the routers and verify adjacency and connectivity with show commands.

Learn how EIGRP stub behavior shapes route advertisements during a link failure in a topology, configure the stub, and verify the outcome.

Configure OSPFv3 across the topology by enabling IPv6 unicast, assigning process IDs and areas on each interface, and establishing ABR connections between areas zero, one, and two.

Master OSPF route summarization across multiple areas by configuring ABR summaries to condense routes into a single summarized network, improving route readability and scalability.

Configure OSPF visual links to connect discontiguous areas through area 0 and summarize routes for a cleaner routing table.

Learn to configure OSPF MD5 authentication, both at interface and area levels, using key IDs and passwords, verify neighbor relationships, and ensure secure adjacencies.

Configure OSPF plaintext authentication on interfaces, using a password up to eight characters, and apply it at the area level to protect adjacencies and ensure areas connect to area 0.

Redistribute routes from ospf into eigrp for ipv4 and ipv6, tuning metrics such as delay, bandwidth, and reliability. Verify the redistribution and confirm routes appear in eigrp.

Configure redistribution from eigrp to ospf for ipv4 and ipv6 to propagate networks across the topology. Adjust the ospf external type and verify route visibility across routers.

Learn to configure redistribution with route-maps in OSPF, using access-lists to filter advertised routes, adjust metrics, and verify redistribution with ABH route-map details.

Implement policy-based routing to steer traffic along preferred paths by creating extended access lists, defining a policy with a next-hop, applying it to an interface, and verifying the path selection.
