OSPF AREA Challenge - A Little Tricky Stuff

I am back again with some more obnoxious stuff for you guys, specially for potential CCIE Routing & Switching Lab candidates. But it's all part of entertainment.

So let me bring the new challenge. Down below is the topology(Physical/Logical)  to get start with:

So next obvious questions coming in your mind are:


> Where is Area 0 (Backbone Area) in the topology
                               &
> What's the challenge


So here is the challenge:


Each router in topology is having a loopback with IP Address -  X.X.X.X/24, Where X = Router Number. E.g. - On R1 it will be - 1.1.1.1/24

Now challenge is to configure Loopback0 of each router in Area 0 and ensure that each router sees routes to other Router's loopbacks as INTRA AREA Routes in routing table.

Something Like:

 

BTW... R6 in physical topology is acting as Frame-Relay Switch.


Below are the quick initials to begin with:

EIGRP Queue Count Building Up - What is it ?// Solution Posted

Couple of months back I was trying to create troubleshooting labs by creating mini labs and then asking friends to introduce problems into configs. Some times even I did that myself, although it was hard to play this PRETENDING GAME initially, but once you create bigger topologies and try it, it's quite easier actually.

So while I was doing all this, I created one EIGRP based lab and tried to introduce lots of possible issue. But of course, I ended up into an issue which originally wasn't part of the thought process. So let me quickly bring it up with relatively smaller topology:

Alright... Was just kidding :-) ... Below is the topology you need:

Here is the relevant configuration to begin with:

 

so can you troubleshoot ? Good Luck....
