Section 1.3  Hardware
Objective:
In this exercise the student will configure Input/Output Modules (IOM), Media
Dependent Access (MDA) and the ports. The student will then ensure that the ports are
properly configured as far as mode and MTU. The configurations are slightly different
between the physical router and the router simulator.
IOM/MDA Configuration
1. In this step the student is not actually configuring the IOM card. The student is
configuring the card slot. The IOM card itself already knows what it is. This
command shows what type of cards it should expect to see installed.
RX# show card µ!
Configure the appropriate slot with the equipped card.
RX# configure card µ! (where slot is 1-10 depending on the
router)
RX>config>card# card-type iom-20g µ! (this can be different,
Please verify the correct card in the slot by doing a  show
card )
RX>config>card# no shutdown µ! (by default all cards are shutdown)
2. The next step is to configure the daughter card slots on the IOM
RX# show mda µ! (command to show all MDAs installed on all cards)
RX>config>card# mda 1 µ!
RX>config>card>mda# mda-type m60-10/100eth-tx µ! (this can be different,
Please verify the correct mda in the slot by doing a  show mda  )
RX>config>card>mda# no shutdown µ!
3. Confirm that the configurations were correctly done by using the following
commands. The equipped card type and the provisioned card type listed in the CLI
window should be identical.
RX# show card 1 µ!
RX# show mda 1/1 µ!
6
Alcatel-Lucent Confidential for internal use only -- Do Not Distribute
RX# show mda 1/2 µ!
4. Note: The cards and MDAs can be configured incorrectly; there is no visible warning
to determine if these components were wrongly configured other than the default
alarm logs (see Configuring Alarms Section 1.4). Although the router will accept an
incorrect configuration, any service on the incorrectly configured cards/MDAs will
not work correctly
5. Once the cards are correctly configured then configure the ports on the MDAs.
Unlike the cards where it was a hierarchical configuration structure, the ports are not
configured as part of the MDA hierarchy. The student must exit back to the root and
then enter into the port configuration mode. The ports are identified by first
identifying the IOM, then the MDA and then the port (1/1/1). By default, the ports on
a 60 port 10/100 card are network mode with a MTU of 1514. The default settings
will suffice for the remainder of this course.
RX>config>port 1/1/1 µ!
RX>config>port#> no shut µ!
RX>config# port 1/1/[1..4] no shut µ!
(This command will enable you to configure a string of ports at one time. In this case,
this command will turn all 4 ports administratively on.)
6. Use the following commands to verify that the configurations at the port level are
correct and functioning properly.
RX# show port µ!
RX# show port 1/1/1 detail µ!
(The  detail extension on a show command will display everything possible about the
item specified. This command is very useful in troubleshooting.)

Section 1.4  Logs
Objective:
In this exercise the student will configure log-ids and verify their operation. The student
will then set up a relationship within the log-id to identify the source of the information
(the logger) and the destination of the information that they wish to capture.
1. Create a Log ID and associate the Log to memory
RX# configure log log-id 21 µ! (the range is 1-100 however 99,100 are
reserved)
RX>configure>log>log-id$ description  Main Stream Log µ!
RX>configure>log>log-id$ from main µ! (This is the source of the information
that you wish to capture)
RX>configure>log>log-id$ to memory µ! (This is the destination)
RX>configure>log>log-id$ info detail µ!
RX>configure>log>log-id$ exit µ!
RX# show log log-id 21 µ!
2. Using the same configuration steps that you have just completed for step 1, repeat the
process to configure three other log files using the following parameters:
Description: Security Log File
Log  id: 22
Log Source: security
Destination memory
Description: Debug-Trace
Log-id: 23
Log Source: debug-trace
Destination: session
Description: Change Log
Log-id: 24
Log Source: change
Destination: memory
3. Verify the log files configuration and output
8
Alcatel-Lucent Confidential for internal use only -- Do Not Distribute
a. Observe the log file configuration
RX# configure log µ!
RX>configure>log> info µ!
b. Observe the security log
To test the security logging, open another session to the same router that you are
logged into. Try logging in to the router using a wrong login/password
On the active session, now execute a
RX# show log log-id 22 µ!
Observe the failed login attempts
c. Observe the Change log
RX# show log log-id 24 µ!
Observe all the events in the change log. What kind of events are logged here?
d. Observe the Debug log
Note: This will be viewed when debug events are turned up in succeeding labs
e. Observe the Main log
RX# configure port 1/1/5 no shut µ!
RX# exit µ!
RX# show log log-id 21 µ!
RX# configure port 1/1/5 shut µ!
f. Logout from the active ssh/telnet session first then open a new session to the
node and now type
RX# config log µ!
RX# info µ!
Compare the output of the info command to the output obtained at the beginning of this
step. Is there a difference and why?
4. Configuring and viewing alarms
Alarms on the 7x50 are not directly displayed. Two log files (log id 99 and log id 100)
are configured automatically on startup to capture alarm events for layer 1 and layer 2.
9
Alcatel-Lucent Confidential for internal use only -- Do Not Distribute
To view these alarms execute
RX> show log log-id 99 µ!
RX> show log log-id 100 µ!
Appropriate parameters can be used in order to display specific information.
5. Save your configs

Lab 2 IP Addressing and Routing
Section 2.1 - ISP addressing with Enterprise Customers
Objective:
In this exercise the student will design and implement an IP network addressing scheme
to support the communications between the routers as shown in the diagram below. This
is a paper exercise

Alcatel-Lucent Confidential for internal use only -- Do Not Distribute
Two enterprises, A and B are connected to a central Tier 2 ISP. A.1 and A.2 are two of
Enterprise A s locations connected to the Tier 2 ISP and B.1 and B.2 are two of
Enterprise B s locations connected to the same Tier 2.
The ISP has a public IP addressing space of 138.120.16.0/20. The Enterprises A and B
lease their IP addressing from their ISP. Enterprise A requires an IP addressing scheme
that can scale to at most 30 nodes in location A.1 and 60 nodes in location A.2. The
Enterprise B requires an IP addressing scheme with at most 90 nodes in location B.1 and
less than 300 nodes in location B.2. The ISP can only lease 500 IP addresses (among the
two enterprises) and will utilize the last part of its assigned sub-network to both the
enterprises.
Your tasks are to
1) Extract a 500 host sub-network from the last part of the ISP IP network address of
138.120.16.0/20.
2) Divide the resulting sub-network into unequal sub-networks satisfying all the site
requirements for each of the enterprise locations. Note: The sub-networks
assigned to each location do not have to be a single aggregate block so long as
they satisfy the number of addresses required.
3) Wherever possible optimize address spaces among Enterprise locations.
Hint: Divide the assigned ISP IP sub-network into equal blocks satisfying the smallest
requirement and then combine the smaller blocks into aggregate or non aggregate
blocks.

Figure 2 Two ISPS
There are two ISPs shown in the above diagram. ISP 1 consists of routers P1, P2, PE5
and PE6. ISP 2 consists of routers P3, P4, PE3 and PE4.
P1 and P2, P3 and P4 are considered provider routers and serve as transit points to other
provider routers. PE1 and PE2, PE3 and PE4 are provider edge routers and connect to the
ISP customers. These routers provide Internet and other network access to the ISP
customers.
13
Alcatel-Lucent Confidential for internal use only -- Do Not Distribute
CE 1 and CE2 are customer edge routers that represent customers of ISP 1. CE3 and CE4
are routers that represent customers of ISP2. These routers provide traffic from the ISP to
the various customer entities
Each ISP is assigned the following public address space by IANA
ISP 1 140.10.0.0/24
ISP 2 150.10.0.0/24
Your task is to design an IP sub-network based on the address space provided and assign
the sub networks to the various routers based on the following requirements which are the
same for both ISPs. Note: All students assigned to each of the ISP must collaborate
together.
Requirements
1. The first 32 addresses in the assigned IP space for both ISPs are reserved for system
and other internal loopback addresses on the P, PE. Each of the routers in the ISP and
will require a system address from this block
2. The next 64 addresses in the assigned IP space for both ISPs are reserved for future
use.
3. All customer routers on both ISPs are connected to at most 60 hosts. So each ISP
needs to assign two 60 host addressing schemes to represent all the customers.
4. All inter router links including CE-PE router links within each ISP are point to point
links, however for the sake of convenience, they should be assigned  /30 based
addresses.
5. ISP 1 and ISP2 provider routers are physically connected to each other but are not
peering to each other.
Enter the addresses in the table below.

Section 2.3  Layer 3 Interfaces
Objective:
In this exercise the student will configure the layer 3 interfaces as per the IP addressing
scheme listed in the tables in the previous exercise.
1. Using the following command take a look at any existing interfaces on the router.
Notice that the system interface is already created. This interface exists by default
and cannot be removed. The only requirement is to assign the system interface with
an IP address. The system interface will be automatically used by the various routing
protocols as the router-id.
XXX>show router interface µ!
2. Assign the IP address to the system interface as per the above table on the PE and P
routers.
XXX>config>router µ!
XXX>config>router# interface system µ!
XXX>config>router>if# address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32 µ!
XXX>config>router>if# exit µ!
3. Assign the IP addresses to the rest of the interfaces on the CE, PE and P routers. The
difference between these interfaces and the system interface is the fact that the non-
system interfaces require the addition of a physical port.
a. The system interface, being a loopback or virtual interface, does not have a
physical port assigned to it.
b. Other non-system interfaces can also be created as loopback interfaces (as
shown below) and also not required the addition of a physical port. However
they need to be explicitly configured as a loopback interfaces by specifying
the command  loopback .
c. The customer networks on the CE router can be specified as a loopback
interface for the purpose of aggregation, however on the loopback interface, a
single host address in the customer network needs to be defined.
Interface Type Name Loopback Subnet Mask Port Config
Normal  Any String No /8-/31 Required
System system Implicit /32 None
Loopback  Any String Explicit /8-/31 loopback
XXX>config>router# interface Hosts µ!

Alcatel-Lucent Confidential for internal use only -- Do Not Distribute
XXX>config>router>if$ address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy µ!
XXX>config>router>if$ loopback
XXX>config>router>if$ exitµ!
4. Continue until all the interfaces have been assigned an IP address and the interface
has been associated to the correct port. Once completed, use the show command to
see the status of the router interfaces that have just been created. The administrative
and operational status should both be up. If an interface shows operationally down,
this could be indicative of a physical problem. Use the info command to view the
configuration of the router interfaces to ensure that they have all (with the exception
of the System interface) been associated with a port.
XXX>show router interface µ!
XXX>config>routerµ!
XXX>config>router# info µ!
5. Using the show command, check the route tables of all the CE, PE and P routers in
your ISP. Notice the routes that now appear in the route table and take note of their
protocol type. The PE routers should see 4 routes in the route table while the P
routers should see 4 routes in the route table.
XXX>show router route-table µ!
Is there a difference between the outputs of the  show router interface command and
the  show router route-table command? What is the difference?
__________
6. Using the ping command, check connectivity from a router to the distant end of each
of its interfaces to the neighboring routers. For example, on the PE routers check the
connectivity to the distant end of the interface connecting it to the P router and on the
CE router, check the connectivity to the PE router.
XXX>ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx µ!

Section 2.4  Testing for ICMP and ARP
Internet control messaging protocol is an IP protocol used to report on errors delivering
an IP datagram. When a destination address is unreachable, the router that cannot find the
destination sends an ICMP destination unreachable to the source of the IP datagram. ARP
is a mechanism used to find out the MAC address corresponding to a specific IP address,
if one does not exist in the source s ARP cache.
1. To verify ICMP messages are being generated, turn on debug for ICMP packets on all
core routers. To turn debug icmp on (if you had to open a new session to your node
via telnet or ssh you may need to create your log-id for sending debug information to
your session (Lab 1.4 Step-1):
XXX> debug router ip icmp µ!
2. From the edge devices, attempt to ping the IP address of the far-end interface to your
core router, using your edge s system interface address as the source address. Observe
the debug ICMP messages on the core routers.
3. To verify ARP operation by the router, turn on debug IP ARP on the routers in any
ISP (P1-P2, P3-P4, PE1 and PE2, PE3 and PE4) routers. Execute the following
command on each of the routers
XXX> debug router ip no icmp µ!
XXX> debug router ip arp µ!
XXX> clear router arp all µ!
XXX> show router arp µ! (This should be empty now)
4. NOTE: Wait until all students are at this point before proceeding.
From any PE router, attempt to ping the system interface IP address of all the other
directly connected routers. Observe the debug ARP message. Verify the ARP entry
for the neighboring interface has been added
XXX> show router arp µ!
How many ARP entries are on each router at this point? __________
5. From any P router, attempt to ping the network interface IP address of all the other
connected routers. Observe the debug ARP message. Verify the ARP entry for the
neighboring interface has been added
XXX> show router arp µ!
How many ARP entries are on each router at this point? __________

Lab 3 Dynamic IP Routing
Section 3.1  Static Routes
Objective:
In this exercise the student will configure a static route from the PE to the P router and
from the P router to the PE router that will allow both routers to ping the system interface
of each other. At this point, the operator can only ping the interfaces that are directly
connected to the router. This is because those are the only networks that are known by
the router. Should the operator at the PE router attempt to ping the system interface of
the P router it will fail as the PE router has no route to the destination (it is not shown in
the route-table).
1. The first step is to define the network that the operator wishes to reach. In this case it
will be the address of the system interface of the distant router. Once that is defined
then the router must be informed of which interface to send the information out of to
reach the distant network. Note, when defining the  next-hop interface information,
the IP address used is the distant IP address of the interface not the local IP address of
the router interface. Log in to the PE router and configure a static route using the
following command structure. The first IP address defined is the destination network
plus mask. In this case it is the system interface of the P router. The second IP
address defined is the IP address of the P end of the interface that connects the P to
the PE.
XXX>configure router static-route xx.xx.xx.xx/yy next-hop
xx.xx.xx.xx
2. The next step is to log on to the P routers and configure a static route to the system
interface of the PE router. The command structure is the same as above. The only
thing that will change is the IP addresses.
3. Once completed, verify connectivity between the P and PE routers in your pod by
pinging the system interface of the other router.
XXX>ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx µ!
4. View the contents of the routing table and answer the following questions.
XXX>show router route-table µ!
a. How many routes in the table? ________
b. What is the preference and metric value of each type of routing entry?

utes and Router Logic
Objective:
Objective:
In this exercise the student will configure a default route on the Customer Edge CE
In this exercise the student will configure a default route on the Customer Edge CE
router. The purpose of this default route is to allow IP connectivity from the CE router to
router. The purpose of this default route is to allow IP connectivity from the CE router to
the rest of the routers in the network. This is possible due to the fact that the CE router
the rest of the routers in the network. This is possible due to the fact that the CE router
has only one interface towards the ISP core. Therefore, if the destination is not local, it
has only one interface towards the ISP core. Therefore, if the destination is not local, it
must be out that interface.

For this exercise, the CE devices will configure default routes towards their
connected PE router. Each P and PE router will configure static routes for the CE
networks (the aggregate networks that were created as part of the subnetwork exercise
in Section 2.2) connected to their local ISP. For example P1 and PE1 will each
configure a static route to CE1 networks and another static route to the CE2 networks.
Note that each P and PE router will configure 2 static routes for each CE.
1. To configure a default route is to configure a static route. The only difference is the
destination network and mask information. In a default route, the wild card network
and mask is used to match all network prefix values that do not match anything else
in the route-table. Use the following configuration on the edge router of your pod.
For the next hop use the interface as defined on the previous page.
XXX>configure router static-route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop xx.xx.xx.xx µ!
2. Log on to the core (P and PE) routers and configure static routes for each CE
customer network address of the CE routers in your local ISP. For each network,
there are 2 paths through your ISP. For this exercise, you will enter both static routes
into each P/PE router. The difference will be the metric value that is used. The value
of the metric is the total number of routers (including the local router) traversed to
reach the destination device.

Section 3.3  IP Filters
Objective:
In this exercise the student will configure an IP filter on the routers to block ICMP echo-
request access to an IP address range.
To configure an IP filter, we must first determine the address and protocol types that we
will be allowing access to, and the direction where the filter will be applied. In this case,
we will be blocking access to any of the CE customer host addresses from the protocol
ICMP (IP Protocol type 1). We will block access in the INGRESS direction on the CE
interface towards the PE.
CE Routers Only:

1. The first step is to enable the OSPF routing process on the router
XXX# configure router ospf µ!
2. Next define the area that the interfaces will be placed in. Remember that the area
must match between routers connected on the same interface for OSPF to establish an
adjacency. The objective of this exercise is to configure a single area OSPF network;
therefore, all students should use the same area number.

3. Now enter into this area all the interfaces that you want OSPF to operate on and send
out its advertisements. In this case, place all the PE and P router interfaces inside the
local ISP into the OSPF process area 0. Note that ISPs rarely exchange routes with
each other using an IGP protocol of any sort.

6. To reach the CE networks from any of the PE and P routers, the CE networks need to
be distributed into OSPF running on PE and P routers. The static routes to the CE
networks are defined on the PE routers and need to be distributed on the PE routers.
To do this:
a. the PE router must be configured as an ASBR (Autonomous System Border
Router). The ASBR configuration under OSPF enables a router running the OSPF
routing protocol to distribute networks external to the OSPF domain into OSPF.
In this case the static routes to the CE networks are not part of the ISP OSPF
domain.

1. Assign your AS number to your P and PE routers (R1-R8).

2. P1 and P3, P2 and P4 will be configured as external BGP peers (eBGP). Note that
eBGP peers typically use the next-hop interface IP address as the neighbor address.
Since the ISPs will now be peering (share an IP network) between them, assign the
link between P1 and P3 host addresses from 145.0.0.10/31 and the link between P2
and P4 will be assigned hosts from the 145.0.0.20/31 network.

xxx# show router bgp neighbor xx.xx.xx.xx advertised-routes µ!
a. How many routes are advertised to each neighbor? _____
b. Explain
____________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
6. BGP, like other distance vector protocols, requires an export policy to advertise-
routes to other BGP peers. The most accepted way to originate a route from an ISP is
to create a black-hole static route for all aggregates to be advertised. This will ensure
these routes always exit to eliminate IGP related route flapping. Create the black-hole
static route for the aggregate of your local ISP. A black hole indicates that traffic for
a particular route will be discarded unless a more specific route exists in the routing
table. A black hole static-route only makes sense from an aggregation view point. For
e.g if there are the following routes in the routing table
XXX# configure router static-route xx.xx.xx.xx/yy black-hole

Lab 6 Services
Section 6.1: Services Framework
Objective:
In order to complete the next group of labs, we need to create a topology to support the
services we will deploy. The two service providers from the previous sections have
merged into one and are offering a VPLS service across their network. As long as routes
exist to the system addresses of all the PE devices in the provider network, a VPLS
service can be created. The new service provider is running OSPF as the IGP for their
core network.

Alcatel-Lucent Confidential for internal use only -- Do Not Distribute
Running an IP/MPLS-based service requires a Label Distribution Protocol (we ll use
LDP for ease of deployment) and a full mesh of Service Distribution Paths (SDPs).
Follow the steps below.
Reference Terminology:
R1-R4 = Provider Routers = P1-P4
R5-R8 = Provider Edge Routers = PE1-PE4
R9-R12 = Customer Edge Routers = CE1-CE4
Part 1: Provider Router Configuration (P1-P4)
1) In the previous lab, routing between ISPs is provided by BGP. Since the ISPs have
merged, they will be merged into one routing domain, running OSPF as their IGP.
The interfaces between R1 and R3 and between R2 and R4 must be added to OSPF to
make this a single routing domain.
2) The MPLS signaling protocol that will be used in the following section is LDP. LDP
must be enabled on ALL interfaces that will be required to perform MPLS Label
exchange.
XXX#>configure router ldp interface-parameters interface toP_ µ!
XXX#>config>router>ldp>if-params>if$ exit µ!
XXX#>configure router ldp no shut µ!
Where toP_ is the router interface to all neighboring routers
Part 2: Provider Edge Router Configuration (PE1-PE4)
1) LDP must be enabled on ALL router interfaces in the provider core to allow labels to
be exchanged across the Provider and Provider Edge routers.
XXX#>configure router ldp interface-parameters interface toP_ µ!
XXX#>config>router>ldp>if-params>if$ exit µ!
XXX#>configure router ldp no shut µ!
Where toR_ is the router interface to the P and PE routers only
LDP is an MPLS signaling protocol; therefore once all routers in the network have been
correctly configured for LDP, LSPs will be created dynamically based on the system
addresses of each node in the network.
3) Configure a full mesh of SDPs (Service Distribution Paths) between the PE routers
only. This will allow the distribution of services across all PE routers in the networks.
When you ve completed this section, each PE node will have a total of 3 SDPs to
34
Alcatel-Lucent Confidential for internal use only -- Do Not Distribute
each of the other 3 PEs. The SDP is identified by an integer and we will use the router
number (5, 6, 7 or 8) of the far end PE to identify the SDP. So, PE1 (R5) will have 3
SDPs numbered 6, 7 and 8 to each of the other three PEs.
XXX#>configure service sdp x mpls create µ!
XXX#>config>service>sdp$ far-end xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx µ!
XXX#>config>service>sdp$ ldp µ!
XXX#>config>service>sdp$ no shutdown µ!
Where x is the router number of the destination node
Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the system IP address of the far-end device
Part 3: Customer Edge Router Configuration (CE1-CE4)
In the following service labs, the Customer Edge devices will be configured as traditional
routers. Each CE router has an interface in the same IP subnet. The VPLS service will
join these four routers in the same way an Ethernet switch would join them. The
following configuration is required on each CE device
1) Create the router interface on the interface connecting the CE to the service enabled
PE devices.
XXX#>configure router interface servicesCE_ µ!
XXX#>config>router>if$ address 192.168.1.x/24 µ!
XXX#>config>router>if$ port X/Y/Z µ!
XXX#>config>router>if$ no shutdown
Where x is the local router number
Where X/Y/Z is the physical network port connecting the CE to the neighboring
PE.
2) Create OSPF area 0 and add the Router Interface created in step 1, and the system
interface to it. .
XXX#>configure router ospf area 0 µ!
XXX#>config>router>ospf>area$ interface system µ!
XXX#>config>router>ospf>area>if$ back µ!
XXX#>config>router>ospf>area# interface serviceCE1 µ!

Section 6.2: VPLS Example
Objective:
A VPLS is a layer 2 service that can connect multiple sites in one LAN. It s like creating
a virtual Switch out of a network of Service Routers. In this lab, we will create a VPLS
across all the PE nodes. The PE devices will connect to each other with a full mesh using
mesh-sdp. Note that after the service reference topology has been configured, adding
services from edge to edge does not require any further modification of the P devices.

2) SDPs are used to distribute services across multiple service routers, and therefore,
bind a transport tunnel to the service. You will need to create a mesh-sdp between
each PE router (R5-R8) to allow full communication across the PE routers. Each PE
router should have 3 mesh-SDPs at the conclusion of this step. Note that a mesh-sdp
will not forward a frame out another mesh-sdp, allowing for a loop free service
topology within the core.

Exercise 2.4
4. How many ARP entries are on each router at this point?
There are no ARP entries in my ARP table at this point. The routers do not know how to
reach the system addresses of other routers so no ARP responses are received.
5. How many ARP entries are on each router at this point?
I see entries for each of my directly connected peers. The MAC address belongs to the
remote router s interface. ARP entries are populated because all routers know of their
directly connected networks and will respond to ARP requests accordingly.
Exercise 3.1
5. View the contents of the routing table and answer the following questions.
43
Alcatel-Lucent Confidential for internal use only -- Do Not Distribute
a. How many routes in the table?
There are routes for all my connected networks and an additional STATIC route
for each entry I put in.
b. What is the preference and metric value of each type of routing entry?
The LOCAL entries have a Metric and Preference of 0
The Static Routes have a Metric of 1 and a Preference of 5.
Exercise 3.2
3 How many routes are there in the P/PE router s routing table?
Even though I entered 4 static routes total on the router, only 2 are active in my
routing table. The router preferred the static-route with the lowest metric.
4. Which devices were reachable?
I was able to ping the CE routers
Which devices were not reachable?
I was unable to ping the System addresses of routers 2 hops away as they do not have
routes to the remote CE system address in their table. The directly attached PE router
has a static
route to the local CE system address from a previous step.
What is the PATH to the other CE within your local ISP?
CE PE PE CE
5. Shut down the link directly between the PE devices.
Which Devices are still reachable?
I am still able to PING the other CE in my ISP by using the alternate (floating) static-
route that replaced the last route. Once a interface goes operationally down, routers
flush routes from their routing table that use it as their next-hop.
Exercise 3.3
9. From the PE, ping the attached CE s configured loopback host IP address.
Successful?
44
Alcatel-Lucent Confidential for internal use only -- Do Not Distribute
YES. While the filter is created, it is not applied to any interface yet
11. From the PE, ping the attached CE s configured host loopback address?
Successful?
YES
12. From the CE, ping the attached PE s system IP addresses.
Successful?
NO. The filter is blocking icmp echo-requests in only one direction therefore ping
works one way, but not the other.
17. From the PE, ping the attached CE s loopback host IP address.
Successful?
YES. ICMP echo-requests are not blocked to the Loopback segment, ONLY the
system IP.
18. From the CE, ping the attached PE s system IP address.
Successful?
NO. The filter is now blocking ICMP echo-requests to both CE and PE system
addresses.

Exercise 4.1
3 .
c. How many routes in the table?
There are 5 OSPF routes in my routing table. 3 System Addresses and 2 Inteface
networks that are not directly connected to my local system
d. What is the preference and metric value of each OSPF Route?
The OSPF routes vary in metric depending how  far away they are (OSPF uses
cumulative cost based on bandwidth), but all have a preference of 10.
4.
c. How many neighbors do you see on the P devices? 2
PE? 2
CE? 0
d. What is the state of their adjacency?
The P and PE adjacencies are Established because there is a OSPF speaker on the
other end with the proper parameters configured.
There is no OSPF adjacency to the CE router listed as none was configured
e. What type of LSAs are in the database?
46
Alcatel-Lucent Confidential for internal use only -- Do Not Distribute
Only Type 1 Router LSA are present due to the interface being configured as point-
to-point
5. Which devices were reachable?
All the devices in the local ISP were now reachable.
Which devices were not reachable?
The devices in the remote ISP were not reachable because there is no routing protocol
between the 2 ISPs. Also, none of the CE Host Networks were reachable as the
routers did not have routes for these networks in their local routing table.
6. Which devices were reachable?
All networks and devices in the local ISP are now reachable.
Which devices were not reachable?
Devices in the remote ISP were not reachable because there is no routing protocol
between the 2 ISPs.

Exercise 5.1
5. How many routes are advertised to each neighbor?
There are no routes advertised to the neighbors because BGP does not originate
routes until an export policy is created and applied to the BGP instance.
47
Alcatel-Lucent Confidential for internal use only -- Do Not Distribute
8. How many routes are in the routing table of R1-R4?
There is 1 BGP route in each of R1-R4s routing tables, matching the best path to
the aggregate advertised by the remote ISPs.
9. Which devices were reachable?
From the PE routers, only the P routers in the local ISP were reachable
Which devices were not reachable?
All routers in the remote ISP were still unreachable. This is due to the local PE router
not participating in the BGP routing protocol and therefore it is not aware of the
aggregate route advertised from P to P router.

Exercise 6.1
Part 4: Verification
1.
a. How many PUSH actions on the P, PE, and CE devices?
There are 7 PUSH operations on each P and PE device. There are no PUSH
operations on the CE as it is not running LDP
b. How many SWAP actions on the P, PE, and CE devices?
There are 7 SWAP operations on each P and PE device. There are no SWAP
operations on the CE as it is not running LDP
c. How many POP actions on the P, PE, and CE devices?
There is 1 POP operation on each P and PE device. There are no POP operations
on the CE device as it is not running LDP.
2.
a. How many OSPF adjacencies are there on your CE device?
None
b. Ping the other CE devices in the network (ping 192.168.1.x).
Nothing is reachable because there is no layer 2 connectivity from CE to CE
device without creating a service.
Exercise 6.2
3. Were you successful at adding the SAP?
No. The port must be in access mode before you can create a SAP on it.
Part 2: Verification
1.
g. How many Ingress labels?
There are now 3 Ingress labels on the PE devices. The P and CE device has no
service labels.
49
Alcatel-Lucent Confidential for internal use only -- Do Not Distribute
h. How many SWAP actions?
There are now 3 Egress labels on the PE devices. The P and CE device has no
service labels.
2.
a. How many OSPF adjacencies are there on your CE device?
3
b. Are you able to ping the other CE devices in the lab?
YES
c. Are you able to ping the system IP address of the P device from the CE
device?
NO. The O and PE devices are private from the service to which the CE
devices are connected on.
3.
a. How many services are there on each device in your POD?
1 per PE only
b. What is their status?
Operationally UP
d. On each PE device, we can see the MAC database per service using the
following command.
iii. How many local MAC addresses are in your table?
1
iv. How many remote MAC addresses are in your table?
3
e. On the PE devices (R5-R8), shutdown the SDP to the PE device in the
clockwise direction from you.
i. How many OSPF adjacencies are there on your CE device?
1
ii. Ping the system IP addresses of all other CE devices in the lab.
Only the CE device connected to the diagonally connected PE is
reachable because it is the only one with an active SDP in both
directions.
f.
i. How many labels are there?
Same as before
50
Alcatel-Lucent Confidential for internal use only -- Do Not Distribute
ii. Is there any difference compared to what was seen in previously
in step a?
NO. The LSPs created with LDP are still active, only the SDP used
to bind the LSPs to the service are shut down therefore no labels
will be withdrawn.
