IS-IS Multitopology

Task Requirements:
+++++++++++++++

> Establish the connectivity within ISIS area as per Topology and Addressing. 
        Ensure All Routers are L2 Only routers.
> Ensure R5 Can Ping R1's Loopback0s IPv4 address as well as IPv6 address 
        with source as it's own loopback0. 
> Ensure IPv4/IPv6 traffic follows optimal path.

TASKS
^^^^^^

1. Establish loopback to loopback connectivity between all Routers in all 3 AREAs 
     as per Diagram.
2. Create loopback on R9 - 99.99.99.99/32, Make sure R3 prefer R7 over R8 to 
     reach that network.Don't change metric. Also don't summarize the route.
3. Ensure you can see specific route for 1.1.1.1/32 into R9 Routing Table.
4. Configure Secure Authentication between R5 & R6 using password "cisco".
5. Configure basic Authentication between R4 & R6 using password "auth".
* 6. Area Authentication - Needs to be Updated
7. Ensure there is no DIS Election on network segment 65.0.0.0/24.
8. Ensure R4 is always elected as DIS on segment 24.0.0.0/24.
9. Ensure R7 is always elected as DIS on segment 150.0.0.0/24. You are not allowed to 
    change interface priority for this task.
10. Ensure that R3 always prefer path through R7 over R8 in order to reach
      prefix 9.9.9.9/32.
11. Create loopback199 on R9 with address 199.199.199.199/32. Ensure R3 always
       prefer path through R8 over R7 to reach this destination. But backup path should 
       be available all the time.
12. Ensure All Routers in future can support MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE).
13. Ensure R9 Sends Hello in every 30 sec and Dead interval = 4xHello Interval.
14. Ensure R5 Sends Hello packets out in every 200 ms.
