UMGC – Spring 2021 CMIT-455 CCNP ENCOR v8 Tutorial Packet Tracer 10.2.1: Multiarea OSPFv3 Configuration

In this video tutorial we take our first look at OSPFv3 (or OSPF for IPv6). We discuss the value of RFC 5340 and then compare and contrast a number of the differences between OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. We then configure multiarea OSPFv3, examine the Link State Database (LSDB), and learn about the new Type 8 and Type 9 LSAs. We wrap up with a validation of the configuration.

***This video is an in-depth tutorial and is far more than simply an answer key to the aforementioned Packet Tracer activity. This tutorial is being made to assist my UMGC CMIT-455 learners in their journey through the ENCOR v8 material so, if you are just looking for a shortcut or easy answers for the activity, this is not the video you should watch. However, if you are looking to gain a deeper understanding on inter-VLAN routing configuration and designs, my hope is that this will increase your comprehension and help you to become a better and more effective network engineer. Enjoy!

*This techtorial/Packet Tracer activity is all done running Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) v2.1.1-b19, some physical routers in my Evil Command Center Lab and/or Packet Tracer version 7.3.1.0362 (for the Mac) which was just recently released! The MINIMUM version you can use for any of the new CCNAv8 curriculum activities is Packet Tracer v7.3.0! Be sure to leave your feedback and questions below and I hope I have earned the privilege of your time!
