Scenario:
A well-known science laboratory specialized in researching “portal” technology has a small network running OSPF. One of their terminals is used by a scientist to reach a central server. However every time router Alive crashes it’s impossible to re-connect to the central server. Besides a scientist you are also a network engineer, let’s see if you can portal yourself out of this one…
Goal:
- All IP addresses have been preconfigured for you.
- OSPF has been configured for connectivity.
- Configuge router Terminal so it detects dead TCP connections and closes them.
- You can test this by using telnet on router Server to router Terminal and shutting the F1/0 interface on router Alive afterwards to simulate a dead connection.
