Instructions
Questions:
Record the number of times that the SPF algorithm has been executed.
In Packet Tracer, answers will vary.
How many areas are displayed on router B1_R4?
One area, Area 0 is displayed
g. Keep the console window for B1_R4 open. Click B1_R2, and then select the CLI tab. Execute the
same two commands.
For the show ip route command, compare the output of B1_R2 to the output of B1_R4. Notice
that the B1_R2 routing table, with the exception of local and connected routes, has learned the
same routes via OSPF as B1_R4.

How many areas are displayed on router B2_R3?
One area, Area 0 is displayed
h. Keep the console window open. Click B2_R1, and then select the CLI tab. The output should be
similar to the output of B2_R3.

i. On B2_R1, click Physical tab and power the device off to simulate a power outage. Networks
10.10.0.8/30 and 10.10.0.16/36 will no longer be advertised.
j. Issue the show ip route and the show ip ospf commands on one router in the Branch office and
one router in the Head Office.
Question:
Are the two networks missing from both of the routing tables and have the SPF algorithm
executions increased?
Yes for both questions.
Note: Every router, in both buildings, has been forced to do extra SPF algorithm executions.
Because all of the routers are in the same area, every change to the topology will cause OSPF to
execute the SPF algorithm on each router. This is not a problem for small networks, but for large
networks, excessive SPF calculations can impact network performance. The solution is to divide
the OSPF topology into multiple areas. Changes in topology in one area will not cause SPF
recalculations in other areas.
