Nokia NRS II Composite (OSPF) case studies
Nokia NRS II Composite (OSPF) · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Nokia NRS II Composite (OSPF) is an independent study resource for network engineers who already hold Nokia Routing Specialist I knowledge or equivalent hands-on experience and want to validate advanced OSPFv2/OSPFv3 skills in Nokia SR OS environments. It targets design, implementation, and troubleshooting roles in service provider and large enterprise networks where OSPF is used for underlay and area design. The material spans OSPF fundamentals, packet types, and the neighbor state machine; link-state database structure, LSA types, and area types; SPF computation, metrics, and ECMP; virtual links, stub/NSSA areas, and redistribution; OSPFv2/OSPFv3 configuration on SR OS; authentication and area protection; convergence, LFA, and TI-LFA; and verification with SR OS show commands. Preparation should combine the Nokia SR OS documentation and command reference with a lab or virtual router topology where you can observe neighbor formation, LSA flooding, SPF changes, and fast-reroute behavior. The Nokia NRS II Composite (OSPF) case studies are 5 cases and about 3,662 words.
1Virtual Link Across an NSSA Transit Area
An enterprise runs OSPF on Nokia SR OS routers. R1 is in area 0.0.0.0 and owns the only border-router uplink.

A regional ISP runs a four-router OSPF ring: R1-R2-R3-R4-R1. Every link is point-to-point with cost 10, and each router has a loopback in area 0.

Two SR OS PE routers, PE1 and PE2, are connected by a 10 Gb/s link that traverses a third-party Layer 2 metro network. PE1's physical port is configured with MTU 9000; PE2's port is on an older line card with MTU 1500.

An enterprise has a hub R1 in area 0 and a branch R3 in area 1. Area 1 is a stub area, and the ABR R2 injects a default route into it.
745 words, about 4 min5Unequal-Cost OSPF Paths and ECMP Expectations
R1 has two OSPF paths to 10.20.0.0/24. Path A is via R2 with total cost 20 and consists of two parallel 10 Gb/s links between R1 and R2.
