CCNP R&S – 300-101 Route Labs Only

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.

Explore EIGRP summarization, comparing auto and manual methods, disabling auto summary, and configuring interface summarization to consolidate routes into a /21 or /8 prefix.

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

Learn to secure eigrp adjacencies by using passive interfaces or active interface authentication, and implement a key chain to authenticate neighbors across selected interfaces.

Explore EIGRP load balancing by configuring bandwidth and using the variance multiplier to distribute traffic across parallel links, transitioning from equal to unequal cost balancing.

Configure ipv6 on routers and enable eigrp for ipv6, assign ipv6 addresses on interfaces, and verify neighbor relationships to ensure routing adjacency.

Explore configuring EIGRP using named configuration in IOS, choosing an AS and metric settings, applying changes inside the named process and at interfaces, and verifying route visibility across peers.

Configure basic OSPF on a four-area topology, set process id, configure areas 0–3, form neighbor adjacencies, and verify ABR connectivity with show commands.

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.

Explore configuring OSPF stub areas to simplify routing, using area zero as the backbone and stub areas to limit routing table size.

Explore BGP basic configuration, including establishing iBGP neighborship, configuring autonomous systems (as 65000), injecting routes, and understanding BGP's handling of large route tables across the internet.

learn how to configure bgp update source and multihop for IBGP and EBGP, using loopback addresses to establish reliable, redundant neighbor adjacencies and advertise routes.

Configure dmvpn hub-and-spoke with GRE multipoint tunnels, matching tunnel keys and group IDs, map private tunnel IPs to public IPs, then replicate to spokes and disable split-horizon.

Configure a GRE tunnel to connect two networks over the public internet by setting tunnel mode, source, destination, and IP addresses, then verify the tunnel and consider IPsec for encryption.

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 manipulate OSPF redistribution using distribution lists and access lists to control which routes are advertised, filtering undesired networks and verifying results in the topology.

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.

Configure redistribution with a prefix list on the main router to permit only networks outside the 8–24 range into OSPF and block the rest, then verify the results.

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.
