Scenario 3-1: Configuring OSPF in a Single Area

In this scenario, you configure two Cisco routers for OSPF routing using a Class B (/16) network (131.108.0.0) with a Class C subnet mask (255.255.255.0, or /24 mask). You build a small network and an OSPF routing table.

You must also configure a number of loopback interfaces to populate the IP routing table. Figure 3-1 displays two routers named R1 and R2 connected through Ethernet. Configure the routers of OSPF area 1 and place the loopbacks in area 1 also.
